COACHING FATALITY.

THE KINGBOLT GIVES WAY

A PASSENGER KILLED

[PKESS ASSOCIATION.]

NAPIER, March 25. The inland Patea coach met with an accident on Saturday which resulted in the death of a passenger named George Morton. In rounding the bend of a rather steep hill the kingbolt broke. In the collapse of the vehicle Morton was thrown from the box seat under the coach, receiving such internal injuries that he succumbed a few hours later.

The deceased is believed to be married, and has a brother in Wellington.
