Fifteenth Annual Report of the State Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1896
Walter Leyford, aged 19 years, single, occupation gripper, was injured at 10 a. 
m., September 28, 1895, at the mine of the Springside Coal Mining Company, Pana, 
Christian county, so that he died at 3 p. m. of the same day. He had taken off the 
grip and was letting the cars run by force of gravity down a light grade when he 
fell from the seat and the first car ran on him. On inspection a trip of cars was 
brought down the same grade; 32 feet before reaching the place where Leyford was 
picked up the gripper was severely shaken; the ball of both rails was broken in 
several places. It is evident that Leyford was shaken off the seat and pushed by 
the cars to the place where he was found.
