A miner was killed at Lingdale Ironstone Mine, Cleveland. Deceased was found dead in his working place. He had sustained severe head injuries, and had evidently been struck at close range by stones projected from a shot charged with 1 lb. of gunpowder, and fired by squib. There was no evidence to show what happened, but it is probable that the shot hung fire, and deceased had returned too soon.
