Fatal Coal Pit Accident At Campbeltown

Charles Armour, a collier, residing at Macarananish, died on Wednesday from injuries received in Trodigall Coal Pit, Campbeltown, the day previous. It appeared that while at work a mass of coal became detached above him, which crushed him against the edge of a hutch before he could get out of the way. His injuries were very severe. Dr Cunningham attended him, but he never rallied.
