Details of Event
His death was due to the careless neglect of another putter who was putting without using a cotter, with the result that the limbers became disconnected from the tub he was putting, and the tub run amain down a short incline. The deceased had just passed him at a siding and was walking down behind his full tub against which he was crushed by the runaway tub. The offending putter had been previously warned about putting without a cotter.
