Mining Accident At Cleator Moor
On Thursday morning a miner named
Robert Kewley, of Ennerdale Road, met with a serious
accident in
Stirling's No. 11 Iron Ore Pit.
While he was working in the mine a piece of
ore fell from the roof. Striking a head tree,
having a nail in the end, which was lying on
the side of the working, the timber was knocked
round and struck
Kewley, the nail entering his
right side. The man was taken to Stirling's
Infirmary, where he was attended by
Dr. Eaton.
He is progressing favourably.
