Details of Event
The back wheels of a tub dropped between the plates and the rage at the bottom of the shaft, after it had been filled in the sump and raised there. Deceased raised it up with a bar and then threw it down in the cage to help to push the tub away. Forgetting the bar, he, and three other men then rode up in the cage. The end of the bar projected beyond the cage, and it caught a bunton, which knocked the bar out of the cage, and in being jerked out it caught Scott between the legs, inflicting injuries, which proved fatal on September 1st.
