Mining Accident
John Borrowdale, a fireman at Gillfoot No. 4 Pit, belonging to the Wyndham Mining Company, sustained a fractured arm as the result of an accident at work, on Sunday. The crab, which is stationed near the pit, was set in motion, it is supposed, by the gale of wind. Borrowdale rushed up to stop it, and was struck on the forehead with the handle. His arm was also fractured. After being attended by Dr. Braithwaite, he was able, with assistance, to proceed home.
