Two deputy overmen were crushed by the falling of a heavy baulk of timber at White Lea Colliery on the 26th of May, where they were in the act of removing the timber from an abandoned road.
Their lives were under their own charge, both being officers for the purpose of attending to the safety of the ordinary miners as well as to their own.
