ACCIDENT. Mr Crawford King, eldest son of Mr Adam King, the well-known sheep breeder of Stony Creek, met with a peculiar accident on Thursday afternoon at Barnego. Mr King, together with his brother Eric, was engaged in carting turnips in a field when Eric was charged by a bullock that had jumped the fence from the road. He was knocked down, after he had struck the animal a'severe blow with a stick. The bullock stumbled and fell, and, as Mr Crawford King rushed to his brother’s assistance; it rose and charged him. He put his left hand out and one of the animal’s horns pierced through the palm of his hand. Mr Crawford King is now in Balclutha Hospital as a result of the injury to his left hand, and is progressing well.
