Details of Event
Deceased was standing upon a sloping ledge of rock, barring down some rock which had been loosened by a shot, when a piece of stone fell from the face behind him severely crushing and fracturing his leg, necessitating amputation. Blood poisoning supervened, and he died on 20th December.
