Details of Event
He had taken out the sprags and dropped a length of 6 yards of coal holed 6 feet under, and filled three tubs. He was probably dressing off some coal from the face when the roof fell out to a weight break and broke off at the face and he was caught and killed. He was alone at the time of the accident.
