10 March 1914: Bellshill Miner Killed - In the Bothwell Park Colliery, Bellshill, owned by Messrs William Baird & Company, a young miner named John Hazlet, who resided at Hastie's Buildings, West End, Bellshill, was fatally injured yesterday. According to a fellow workman’s story, Hazlet stepped on to the cage, and had been raised some distance up the shaft, when he fainted, and, relaxing his hold, fell out of the cage. He dropped down the shaft to the sump, where some time afterwards he was found dead. [Scotsman 11 March 1914]
