Details of Event
He and other three men were loading a pump from a ledge in the quarry into a railway wagon and had to pass over a planked way 2 feet, 2 inches is, width, 8 feet from the ground, and a distance of about 8 feet. When carrying a pipe he by some means fell off the planks, and the pipe following him hit his head and caused such injuries that he died two days afterwards.
