Fifteenth Annual Report of the State Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1896
November 11, Daniel Murray, aged 20 years, single, driver, employed in the 
Whitebreast Fuel Co. mine “C,” at Dunfermline, was so injured by loaded mine 
cars running on top of him while driving in the above mine, that he died three 
days later. At first his injuries were not thought to be serious. Deceased was, 
at the time of receiving his .injuries, coming with a loaded trip of two cars 
out of the sixth east entry of main south. On this entry there is a slight grade 
in favor of the loads, which requires the service of a sprag to control the 
momentum of the cars. He had just put in the sprag, and then jumped on the tail-
chain, his usual place of riding, but this time the mule jerked about the time 
Murray jumped on the chain, and threw him out. He fell across the rails, the 
cars running over him crushed him internally, which resulted in his death on the 
14th of November.
