A FATAL ACCIDENT.
A fatal Occident occurred at.Teaneraki yesterday afternoon. A farmer of the name of Robert Rogers was proceeding home in a dray from Teaneraki. While going through a gateway his horses bolted, and he either fell off, or in attempting to jump clear of the cart, he received serious internal injuries by which he was rendered insensible. He was conveyed to Mr. Brown's Hotel at Weston. Medical assistance was called iu, which, however, proved unavailing, as the poor fellow died at or about 3 o'clock this morning. The deceased was a fine, strong, young man, of 29 years of age, and was unmarried. He was well
known, and his loss will be felt throughout the district. An inquest will be held at 11 a.m. to-morrow.
