UNSEARCHED COLLIER-Hurt By Own Explosive In Cymmer Pit.   Henry SIEVER, a collier, of Glyncorrwg, was summoned at Port Talbot on Monday, for contravention of the Coal Mines Regulations by firing two shots, as an unauthorised person, in the North Rhondda Colliery in April last.    Mr. Edward HOWE prosecuted. Oliver JOHN (Glyncorrwg), a collier, said that on April 27 he saw the defendant  charge a hole and later fire it . The following morning  he heard, during the course of the shift, a loud report, and shortly afterwards defendant shouted for a light. He went up to defendant and found he had been badly injured about the face and body.   William JONES (Glyncorrwg), fireman at the colliery, said he had sole charge of the explosives, and did not issue any to defendant that day.
