Details of Event
He had fired a shot in the ripping of a road and was along with a bye workman going back, to examine the place when without any warning a large stone fell upon both of them. Lodge was killed and the other man was seriously injured. The stone was seven inches thick and came away to two concealed slips and broke off at a cleat at the fast side.
