- Details of Event
- Deceased was drawing out a full train of hutches, and, as usual at this mine was sitting on the front of the first one. There was a strong current of air. To prevent his naked light from being blown out, he carried it well down in front of the hutch. While doing this he probably overbalanced and fell in front of the first hutch, which was pulled over him, by the pony.
