Details of Event
Fall of "warden " or "blacks," 2 feet 9 inches thick, from over the coal. In places it is soft, and it fell on deceased as he and his brother were engaged cutting out the "butts" in a fast road, only 7 to 8 feet wide. They had set a sprag which was not long enough, and which proved inefficient, although they had plenty of suitable timber at hand. (This entry appears in the 1909 Report but is dated 1910)
