The last occurred at the Forcett Quarries belonging to Messrs. The Forcett Limestone Company. In this case several men were engaged in removing the overburden of the quarry, which is clay in which occur large glacial boulders. The work was being done in the ordinary manner when suddenly a fall occurred and, knocking one man down, killed him. When the place was examined after the accident it was seen that there was a large boulder embedded in the clay, and that the portion which had fallen had come off at the boulder, the presence of the boulder causing a slip in the clay.
