KILLED BY A HOG A singular accident happened at
Crawley Shaft mines, Flat River, last Saturday in which Sam Downes, a miner, lost his
life. Downes was on the cage, about 300 feet below the surface, starting out after
finishing his day's work, when a large hog jumped into the shaft and went to the bottom,
striking Downes on the head and killing him instantly. |
