A COACH CAPSIZES.
ACCIDENT TO A FOOTBALL TEAM; , , SEVERELY. INJURED. ,r ; • [BY TMLEGIUrH.— PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Tihahtt, Friday. An accident of rather a startling nature occurred at one o'clock this morning at Otaio bridge, when a football team belonging to Timaru was returning from Waimate. The night was very dark and heavy, and rain was falling when the coach capsized over an embankment by the river. . Two men were badly cut about the neck and face, another had a piece cut out of his ear, while a fourth, who was pinned under the coach, had the weight of the vehicle on his neck, and sustained severe bruises. Another was so injured that he was unable to walk, and had to be carried by his companions to the nearest township, which is one mile and ahalf distant. There were 19 in the coach altogether, and all received a severe shaking, the coach rolling over twice. ,
