Details of Event
Deceased, who was standing near the shaft fop as the cage filled with men began to be lowered, jumped forward to get in, and was crushed to death against the collar boards. It was a mad act to attempt, and if he had succeeded in getting in the cage he would not have gained more than a minutes time.
