MANGLED BY A SAW.
MAN'S TERRIBLE DEATH. A fearful accident occurred at Coombing Park, near Carcoar, New South Wales, recently, when a young man, Roy Allen Smith, aged 24, was killed by falling on a circular saw.
Sir. Smith and two others were cutting wood when a log tipped up and Smith was thrown across the saw, which severed his right arm and almost cut his body through. He was a prominent footballer.
