YOUNG MINER KILLED

While at work in Westwood Pit on Tuesday, Robert Jamieson (27) was caught in a fall of shale in his working place and received injuries from which he died. Jamieson had just left some workmates, with whom he had been sitting, taking his "piece," and a miner nearby road, hearing the rumble of the falling shale, went to investigate. finding no trace of his unfortunate fellow-worker, he at once summoned assistance. Working frantically, the men succeeded in clearing the shale from Jamieson, who was rushed to the pit-head, where life was found to be extinct. A popular figure in the village, deceased is survived by his widow.
