YOUNG FARMER KILLED.
O AMARU, December 26. David Angus, a young settler, aged 28, was killed on Monday while driving a gig near Papakaio. Deceased, accompanied by his brother-in-law, was going to see his wife who was in a maternity home in Oamaru. The horse bolted, throwing both occupants out. Angus was caught between the shaft and the body of the gig and was dragged three miles before the horse was stopped by residents in the vicinity. Angus was then found to have expired, his body being terribly mangled. An inquest was held to-day, when a verdict of accidental death was returned.
