Details of Event
When being raised in the cage from a place in the shaft, at which he had been cutting holes for supports or clamps to carry the electric cables to the place above where another set was to be cut, he appears to have his head partly out of the side of the cage and to have been caught by a cross girder and pulled out. He fell to the bottom of the shaft a distance of 780 feet.
