Western Mail Tuesday June 8th 1926. After a long search in a disused pit close to Talyfraw Farm, near Swansea, the body of Jenkin H. HOPKINS, a collier was discovered on Monday. HOPKINS, who was 25 years of age, had been missing from his home at Gorse, Cockett, Swansea, since Saturday evening.. Search parties scoured the district, and found the man's hat near the pit, and concentrated their efforts at that point. The disused pit has an aperture of scarcely 2ft. at the top. It is about 50ft. deep, and has water at the bottom. A canary was was lowered to the bottom of the hole, and it having survived the test for foul air, Mr. Ben DAVIES , an old collier, volunteered to descend and was lowered in a "bowk." He remained there about a dozen yards below  for three-quarters of an hour, and then came up. Afterwards Thomas ELLIOTT and Ben DAVIES went down and contiued the search. They found a quantity of old timber and barbed wire in the water, but failed to find a body, but though it might possibly be underneath, and at four p.m., after some hours of work in the pit, the body of a man was discovered. An inquest will be held. HOPKINS, a married man, with two children, was to undergo an operation at Swansea Hospital from the effects of an accident at a local colliery some time ago. Stanley WISHART 20, and George Edward WATKINS 19, were charged at Cardiff with breaking and entering the refreshment pavilion in the Cardiff Arms Park on Saturday night and stealing eight pairs of shoes, an odd shoe, four tennis racquets, an umbrella, a blazer, and other articles of the value of £17.15s., the property of Alfred MILSOM.. Police-constable NORMAN saw the boys sitting on the grass in the Cardiff Arms Park early on Sunday morning. They ran away, and where they had been sitting he found a number of shoes, tennis racquets, a box of biscuits, a bottle of lemonade, two bunches oif keys, and other things. Later WISHART and WATKINS were arrested. WISHART said they had been walking about all night. WATKINS said he had been with WISHART. The prisoners were remanded in custody until tomorrow (Wednesday). Mr. W.E. GOODWIN, of 42, Burnaby-street, Cardiff won the second prize at the Raleigh motor-cycle rally at Monsal Dale, Derbyshire. Mr. GOODWIN, with Miss A. MORRIS of 53, Coburn-street, Cardiff had covered a distance of 220 miles. Thomas John EVANS, of Baneswell-street, Newport, and Daviud LOGAN, Evans-street, Newport, were committed to the assizes at Newport County Police-court on Monday charged with stealing a horse the property of the Ebbw Vale Iron and Steel Company. Prisoners pleared guilty. It was stated they took the horse from among 72 others grazing in a field. His Honour J. Lloyd MORGAN, K.C., awarded £60 damages to Ernest James MARTIN, of Treheullw, St. David's, auctioneer, against Messrs. COX and Sons, milk vendors of Cardiff, who have a centre at Haverfordwest, the result of a collision between defendant's lorry and plaintiff's car, on the road between St. David's and Haverfordwest. Mr. Trevor Harries, Swansea, instructed by Messrs. Eaton EVANS and WILLIAMS, Haverfordwest, appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. Hubert Ll. WILLIAMS, Swansea, instructed by Colonel WE. JONES, Haverfordwest, for the defendants. Two unemployed colliers of Abertillery lost their lives on Monday afternoon by the collapse of the sides of a hole in an old disused pit situate at the rear of the picturesque Six Bells Recreation Ground Abertillery, while digging for coal for domestic use. Another man who went to their aid had a miraculous escaspe from death. The victim were:- Frank ALLEN 42, of 5, Blenheim-road, Six Bells, married man, with  a wife and six young children, and William Henry SNELGROVE 22, of 5, Prretorias-road, Six Bells, married man, with three children. The men had dug a hole about 20ft in diameter and had reached a depth of about 15ft. Whether they had timbered is not yet clear. Without any warning the sides collapsed and buried both men. Charles BIRD, of Windsor-road, Six Bells, heard them scream, and without regard for his own surface he jumped into the rapidly filling cavity in hopes of saving them. Before, however he had gone far he was caught by a second fall and was covered with earth for a considerable time. Another man, Howard HARRIS, heard the crash and was able to get hold of BIRD and prevent him from being further covered in. More assistance was quickly forthcoming, and BIRD was extricated without any apparent injury. He joined a large number of men who, armed with picks and shovels, dug their way down the hole hoping to reach the victims alive. Unfortunately, their strenuous efforts proved in vain, for after 2 1/2 hours of hard work, they disclosed the two men both dead, in an upright position about three yards from one another. About 50 tons of earth had fallen on them and their death must have had occurred quickly.. John Patrick
