Fatal Pit Accident - On Monday a pit bottomer, named Joseph Brodie, 19, residing at Clarkston's Land, New Stevenson, was killed while at work in No. 5 Pit, Holytown Colliery, belonging to James Nimmo & Co. He had signalled to the engineman to raise the cage a little bit in order to remove some rubbish from under the rests, and signalled to have the cage lowered again. It is supposed that he made an attempt to remove a pick from under the cage just as it was being lowered, but the cage came down and broke his neck. [Motherwell Times 6 July 1900]
