Details of Event
Deceased was sitting hewing when a large stone fell from a slippery parting in the roof and broke his neck. He told the putter a few minutes before that he would get the deputy to put a prop up when he came in. The timbering rules allowed the men too much latitude and this accident was the unfortunate result.
