Details of Event
He was loading a hutch with coal at the heading of a conveyor wall, when a fall of roof occurred. The roof usually consisted of strong sandstone post and was not timbered on the roadways, but at this point a ply of rocky bands some 2.5 inches thick ran in, and it was this ply of band that burst away suddenly from the roof. He died three days later.
