CAR OFF THE LINE.
__ PLOUGHED THROUGH ROADWAY. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, this day. Yesterday afternoon a Maori Hill electric car fully laden left the rails and ploughed through the roadway for fifty feet, just escaping overturning. It is surmised that the motorman lost control through the trolley pole being removed from the wire, and the suggestion is made that the pole was removed by a party of students travelling on the car, yesterday being Capping Day, but police inquiries apparently elicit little to substantiate such a serious charge.
