Details of Event
Deceased fired three shots in his place lighting the three at one time. He retired from the place and heard two reports. Thinking that two of the shots had exploded simultaneously causing one report, he returned work in the face and some half hour later struck the charge of the third shot with his pick when it exploded and killed him instantly.
