SERIOUS ACCIDENT NEAR WHANANAKI.

1 Our. Whananaki correspondent writes:—. :." I very serious accident happened her" -- | J January 24. Mr. Mandcr, of the firm of ' 1 Mander and Bradley, timber merchant* ] and millowners, Puhipuhi, who has been | encamped there will, his family for several ' 1 weeks, was removing his things! back t« jj Puhipuhi. For this purpose a Mr. Willi;n» 1 Taylor had brought a two-horse waggon "to- ' assist in the job, and when he was loaded I started on the journey back, but had not " J gone far before someone noticed the w&jt«„ . 1 and horses going without a driver, so, ?« s .' I peeling an accident had happened, hurried* - I on, and found Taylor rolling on the ground ' I in great agony, with two or three of his I ribs broken, and other injuries. He v,-.- a I then in too great pain to explain the cause | How ever the accident occurred, a *", ij lor is badly injured, and has been removed Ito Whakapara. I may say Mr. Mander ' I did not see the accident, as he had driven ■ ■ I away with his family a short- time previ. 1 ously. Since writing the above, I have .• I heard that the cause of the accident i¥ M I through the restlessness of a young horse I which, whilst the driver was hitching him up, took fright, Taylor being knocked I down by the pole, the waggon wheels i over him. He was found to be too badly I hurt to be taken home, sc was taken * 0 ■ 1 Lee's boardinghouse, and Dr. Hall, of Wh> I ngarei, was sent for, and has been out «| done what he could for him.
