A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
MARTON, September 7. A fatal accident occurred on Saturday on the Otamakapua block, twenty-five miles north of Hunterville. Two men named Kevern and Ash were felling a tree, and had cut the front with an axe and sawn the back, and were standing behind as it fell, when it slipped back over a ptutnp. Kevern was struck and remained insensible for two hours. When he recovered consciousness he found that the tree had cut the body of Ash into halves. The remains have to be carried fifteen miles through the bush before they can be put on a conveyance.
