Details of Event
He was taking up rails in a disused road and had been about half an hour and taken up all the rails but one, when a fall of roof took place and killed him. The road was packed at each side and the roof apparently good but it was at the edge of some pillars which were being taken out and doubtless a weight had come over the place owing to this. No date.
