Mr George Thomas Smyth, a well-known resident of Invercargill, and manager of the Southland Bread Company, was accidentally killed at 9.30 to-day. Deceased had been stock-taking, and whilst he was in the engine room the men employed in tho bakehouse noticed that the machinery, which is driven by a gas engine, was slowing up. On going into the engine loom they found deceased lying on the floor. It appeared that he had been struck by the fly-wheel, and apparently had slipped and fell with his head through the fly-wheel. He was quite dead. Deceased was a prominent Freemason, and was at one time Provincial Grand Master and Grand Superintendent of the Southland Grand Lodge.
