Details of Event
Deceased had run some loaded wagons forward from a hopper and was bringing another forward behind them. He had a "trig" laid to stop it and forgetting apparently the loaded wagons, he was bending down watching the last on, coming on to the "trig" when his head was caught and he was killed instantaneously.
