Details of Event
The injured man and his brother were working in a place splitting a pillar, and it was just about holed. He fired a shot, which blew through into an old level and left a hole 2 feet by 2 feet in the face, and he, for some reason, crept through this hole into the old level, when a stone from the roof, shaken by the shot fell upon and injured him. Died 8th May.
