DOBSON DISASTER
EX-INSPECTOR’S EVIDENCE. COMMISSION TO AGAIN INSPECT MINE. (Per United Press Association.) Greymouth, June 16. The Dobson mine inquiry was resumed this morning. Ex-mining Inspector O. J. Strongman gave evidence. His theory of the cause of one explosion at the time of the disaster was the firing of a shot in the dip workings by the deceased miner Alfred Noakes. Strongman admitted that the theory was based on incomplete evidence, but, in his opinion, it was the most probable cause of the disaster. The chairman announced that the Commission would make another inspection of the mine.
