DANKO BARNA

 
        Danko Barna, an Austrian by birth, and a laborer, but at the time of the accident employed in Mine No. 4 of the Desloge Consolidated Lead Co. as a track-man, was killed by a fall of roof October 29, 1904.  The deceased was a married man, had two children, but carried no insurance.   Barna was at the time of the accident engaged in putting in a frog to lay a switch.   A rock measuring 1-1/2 foot x 14 inches x 24 inches fell from the roof and struck him on the head.  This rock, when it broke loose from the roof, gave a slight warning which caused Barna to run, and in doing so he ran directly under the rock, which fell some five feet from the point where he was working.  The coroner's verdict was that Barna came to his death by being struck on the head by a falling rock while in the employ of the Desloge Consolidated Lead Co.
