Details of Event
He was filling loose dirt from a shot when a fall of half a ton from the side killed him, and broke a leg of his companion. This side had been specially examined 15 minutes before by the fireman because it required to be removed to straighten the stone mine that was being driven. It was then presumed that it would require a shot to get it down. [Full name is Archibald Campbell Barr]
