ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS
CYCLIST KILLED. Thomas Farrell, aged 38 and single, of Stratford, was killed at Stratford last night when he fell from his cycle while riding downhill carrying an attache case. ' It appears that he freewheeled down a short hill and caught his knee when he resumed pedalling. This evidently jammed the handlebars, throwing him to the road. His head injuries, it is believed, caused almost instantaneous death.—Press Association. STRUCK BY CAR.
