Details of Event
He and another man were taking out two low bars in a stone drift. One bar was taken out and a quantity of stone fell. When all appeared to be settled they returned, one at each side of the fall, to see if the place was safe when a very large fall occurred caused by two slips which could not be seen, and killed him.
