CimiSTCHURCH, Saturday. An inquest was held this morning, concerning the death of Henry Craze, newspaper runner, who was run over by a train near Hornby and killed. A verdict of" Accidental death " was returned, the jury adding a rider that no blame was attachable to anybody. The coroner commented on the fact that boys were allowed to rush through the trains from carriage to carriage, frequently pushing and jostling each other, and hinted that the railway authorities should do more to prevent it.
