As the result of being crushed by a timber-laden sledge capsizing, a boy, William Yates, aged live, subsequently died in the Kaitaia Hospital. The accident occurred at Takahue on the farm of the boy's father, Mr. Yates, who was conveying sawn green timber on a sledge down a slight incline, which was slippery following heavy rains. Mr. Yates was accompanied on the sledge by his son, whom he was holding, and a Maori, Mr. Joe Court. The sledge rolled over. Mr. Yates endeavoured to pull his son clear, but could not do so, the load falling on the boy.
