Details of Event
Falls in Mine (a) Falls of Side – He was holing in the dirt on top of the coal at the roundhead of a longwall place when a large stone fell and swung out the props which were behind him. He was killed instantly. Had a rance been set to the front of the brushing this accident would probably have been prevented.
