Details of Event
He and another man were filling, one at either end of some coal which had been got down, when some clod fell upon them. Tarton was severely injured and died on the 15th, The men must have felt some uncertainty about the condition of the roof as they had set two bars and also two additional props between the face and the break from the previous fall of coal.
