Mastertox, this day. Three serious accidents were admitted to the Masterton Hospital yesterday. Arthur Goulson, jockey, whilst leading a draught horse got his leg broken by a kick. Abraham Fielding, whilstpig-shootingat Braneepeth on Monday evening, fell over and his gun went off, the bullet passing through both thighs, and smashing the right bone. Fielding was found hours after by his mates lying in a pool of blood. Dr. Hoskings arrived from Masterton, distant thirty mile 3, and dressed the wound, and the injured man was conveyed on his mates shoulders 3 miles, thence by brake. Anderson, benchman of Mangamohoe Sawmill, was struck by a large splinter from a machine, which entered the side of his eye and passed underdeath to the brain. He was chloroformed at the hospital, and it took the united efforts of Drs. Hoskings and Milne to extract the wood. The sufferer is progressing favourably, considering.
