Details of Event
While driving a wide place by the side of an old pillar in the Five Quarter seam a large fall of roof fell at the face. A small hitch ran nearly parallel to the direction of the place and the fall came away at it and backs. The bottom was shot up along the fast side and this may have weakened the foothold of some of the props which were canted. It was deceased's first shift in the place after the cavils.
