TEN CASUALTIES
Gippsland kail Smash THREE MEN KILLED. MELBOURNE, December 2. Three railwaymen were killed and seven were injured, when two tracklayers’ trucks overturned near Glengarry, Gippsland, yesterday afternoon. The men were being conveyed back to the job, after lunch, on trucks drawn by a ‘rail-motor. Apparently one man moved to obtain a more comfortable position and in doing so, he fell off. The brakes were applied suddenly, and two trucks left the rails. Rescuers found three men dead. The deceased were Thomas Cleary, Edward Barwick, and Edwin Luscombe. Tire men were engaged in relaying the main Gippsland line. One of the injured men, Edwin Grant, is in a serious condition.
