He was coming outbye with a full tub following behind another putter. The tub of the putter in front got off the way, and Bell went forward to assist him to lift it on. While they were 50 engaged the tub bumped a prop supporting a crossing plank and knocked it out, causing a stone to fall on him and fatally injuring him.
