Details of Event
Deceased was the first man to cuter the cage at the pit top for starting the night shift, and when the cage was nearing the shaft bottom he complained of illness. Before assistance from the other men could be rendered he had slipped under the fence rail and fell to the bottom of the shaft, probably 40 yards.
