Fifteenth Annual Report of the State Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1896
November 5, 1895, Charles Cadman aged 57 years, who, with his two sons, was 
employed as a miner in Price & Jones’ shaft at Streator, had fired a blast about 
4:30 p. m.; he went back into his room immediately after the blast was fired, 
and taking his pick sounded the roof, and said to his son William, that it was 
all right. What is termed a slip or roll was on the left side of his room and 
spread out into the room for a distance of 16 feet. The blast fired had loosened 
the coal into the slip on the left pillar, but a portion of the coal was hanging 
on the slip, he started to mine it off, when five minutes after a large piece of 
rock fell on him killing him instantly. He left a widow and ten children, five 
of whom are able to take care of themselves.
