Details of Event
Falls in Mine (a) Falls of Side – He was about to set a prop to an overhanging length of mid stone when 19 ft. of it fell, swinging out five supporting props. He was pinned down by a large piece across the lower part of the body and sustained internal injuries from which he died next day. The mid stone was probably broken by a shot in the bottom coal fired a few minutes before. Newspaper report - Lothians pages
