   These two men were given a room to turn, but were ordered by the mine boss not

   was hanging directly over the place where room was to be turned. Disregarding 
   orders, Anderson and Carner began turning the room before the slate had been 
   taken down. In a short time a large piece of coal fell and the slate with it, 
   on both men, mashing Carner's head and breaking Anderson's neck. Carner leaves 
   two little orphan girls and Anderson a widowed mother.
