Details of Event
He and his mate were engaged ripping a cross-gate and putting on a pack to form a new gate. His mate had drawn a prop on the right side, and eased two in the centre under the ripping lip, and he was attempting to lever the stone down with his pick, when a large fall occurred from between two slips, one of which could be seen previous to the fall, and killed him.
