SUCCUMBS TO HIS INJURIES.
Wellington, April 27.
Mr Travers went to the railway station to see a friend off, and remained in the carriage until the train began to move. In alighting on to the station platform he knocked against the guard who was keeping by-standers from the train, and fell between the platform and the train. The train was immediately stopped, and the sufferer, who was perfectly conscious and self possessed, was removed on a stretcher to his home, and medical assistance summoned. It was found necessary to amputate the right leg, but Mr Travers died at six this morning. He was aged 84 years.
