ONGARUE DISASTER.
INQUIRY CONTINUED. (Per Press Association.) TAUMARUNUI, this day. Tlie adjourned inquiry into the On game disaster was resumed to-day before the District Coroner, Mr. Laird. Dr. Welby Fisher, medical superintendent of the Taumarunui hospital, gave evidence as to the work done to rescue and assist the injured. He described tho arrangements made to get the injured to hospital. Witness did not see any irreverence shown to the dead, but on the contrary every respect was shown. Tho suggestion might have arisen because attention had to be directed to the injured. Witness had made arrangements for all medical men to go to the hospital. Dr. Bathgate left then to get refreshments after arduous work. Dr. Vivian informed tho witness ho wished to get away, and said he was prepared to return later. Ho exercised his own judgment in leaving or staying. He may liavo erred in judgment. It was certainly no desire of witness that he should go.
