These five men were all injured by an explosion of fire damp in the
Alderson Slope mine, in room No. 31.
which room had been known to have developed some fire damp; room had been
marked with cautionary sign indicating that "gas" should
be "brushed out" before entering same with naked lights. Sannons
and
Cameron who were "buddies" were working this room, and Sannons
went in with a naked light, in disregard of the rules and caution mark.
and placed his naked light on a pile of coal about 6 feet from the face.
He then proceeded to brush out the "gas", brushing it right
onto the
lamp when it immediately exploded, burning Cameron and himself as described.
Obert, Groter and Gordon were passing along the entry in
front of the mouth of room No. 31 and were badly burned as described.
Obert's injuries terminating fatally."

collected in a fall of top, near face. They had been furnished with safety
lamps and instructed to use them, but disregarded their instructions
and went to the face with naked lamps which ignited the gas and caused
their injuries. They had also been instructed to wear shirts at this work
and this neglect aggravated their injuries
