16 December 1938: Shunter Run Over By Waggon - Peter M'Arthur, son of James M'Arthur, 107 Perth Road, Cowdenbeath, lost his life yesterday as the result of an accident which occurred at No.11 Colliery, Lumphinnans, which belongs to Fife Coal Company Ltd. M'Arthur was employed as a shunter on the surface, and it appears .that he was run- over by a waggon. There was no eyewitness of the accident which was discovered by a fellow-employee who was attracted to the scene by cries of distress. M'Arthur was removed to Dunfermline and West Fife Hospital where he died shortly after admission. Deceased was 25 years of age. [Scotsman 17 December 1938]
