TREE FALLS WRONG WAY

CRASH ON TO A WASH-HOUSE.

RESIDENCE ALSO DAMAGED

PARTING OF STRAINER WIRE

[by telegraph.—own correspondent. ] GISBORNE. Friday.

To have a tree he was foiling crash across the wash-house and part of his house instead of in an open space at tho back was the unfortunate experience of a Te Hapara resident yesterday. The tree, a large blueguni, was growing just behind the* wash-house, and the weight of the branches was in the direction of the building. To prevent tho tree falling across the house a wire was attached to it and strained back to another tree. The wire broke and tho tree fell in the wrong direction. One side of the wash-house was smashed to splinters and the roof was staved in. Tho topmost branches of tho tree fell across the back portion (if the house itself, but so as is known at present no serious damage was done. The wash-houso tank, across which one branch of the tree fell, was smashed in like a concertina.

A daughter of the family had intended watching the felling of the tree from tho wash-house window, but fortunately sho changed her mind.

It will be difficult to remove the tree without causing further damage.
