Fatally injured by moving mine cars in Darr Mine, Feb. 19, 1907
John Barnes, Slavonian Miner, was killed in Darr Mine by being crushed between moving mine cars and an entry pillar. He attempted to get out of a part of a detached trip in which he was riding. As the mine is a long distance in, it is customary to send the men into the mine in the morning in the dilly trip on a two per cent grade. When the trip entered the pit mouth the first six mine cars became detached and started down the grade. The victim made an effort to get out and was caught as stated above. If he had stayed in the trip he would have been saved. It was claimed the trip was examined before being started into the mine.
