Details of Event
He was engaged ramming stuff on the 170 fathom level and was putting his tram on the road rails when he fell, through a wire rope fence down to the 200-fathom level and was killed. The fence was not intended nor suited for a person to lean against as he apparently did while lifting a tram although sufficient for ordinary purposes.
