fire. and when Hickman went on. at 7,
he was warned and told to work care
fully. The victim spent some time in try

last concluded that it had gone off with
the rest, and taking his pick, began
work. Almost at the first stroke how |
ever, he hit the charge, which went off |
striking him full in the face, but, as the !
broken rock had been cleared away from |
the face of the drift, the effect was not as |
serious as it otherwise might have been.
