CRUSHED BY TREE.
MAORI FATALLY INJURED.
ACCIDENT IN THE BUSH.
LONG JOURNEY TO HOSPITAL.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) DARGAVELLE, this day. A Maori named Pene Cassidy, while engaged in bushfelling in Mr. V. Trounson's bush at Maropin yesterday, met with an accident which ended fatally last night at the Te Kopuru Hospital. Cassidy and other men were engaged in scarfing a tree when it split and a piece knocked him down and he fell under the tree. His mates freed him and carried him out a mile to a sledge, and he was then taken by train to Dargaville and thence by car to hospital, where it was found that he had received such injuries that there was little hope of his recovery. He lived for ten hours. Deceased was a married man with a family. An inquest will be held to-day.
