Fifteenth Annual Report of the State Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1896
July 31, 1895, William Zarbourough, aged 27 years, employed as a loader by the 
Pawnee Coal Company, Westville, Vermilion county. The deceased went into a room—
number 24, sixth south entry—about 1 o'clock p. m., and commenced loading coal, 
when a large fall of rock fell on him, killing him instantly. The room was not 
properly timbered, the nearest prop to the face of the coal being eighteen feet. 
It was one of a number of rooms in which the timbering and blasting was done by 
contract. The deceased was a single man.
