DAVID CLELLAND

KIRKCONNEL MINER INJURED.

While David Clelland, a married man, residing at Kellobank, Kirkconnel, was laying-in a road for the cutting machine in No. 3 Fauldhead Colliery yesterday morning a “pot,” or “goblet” from the roof fell on him, crushing him severely, his back and head particularly. His skull is thought to be fractured, and he was conveyed to Dumfries Infirmary.
On inquiry at the Infirmary late last night, we were informed that his condition is satisfactory.
