THREE MEN INJURED
BAGS OF FLOUR FALL. (Per United Press Association.) Auckland, June 13. Three men were injured when a number of bags of flour in the store of the Northern Roller Milling Company, Quay street, fell from a stack near which’they were working. The three men, Burnet Anderson, married, aged 29, F. Blackmore and D. Ellis, were thrown to the ground under a miniature avalanche of about 100 heavy bags. The men were working on one stack of flour in the store when another stack at right angles to it collapsed without warning. The bags were spread over a fairly wide area, but only three of the ten men were close enough to the falling sacks to receive any injury. They were all partially covered by bags, but were quickly extricated by other workmen. The injured men were taken to the Auckland hospital. Anderson was admitted suffering from a fracture of the leg. Blackmore who received head injuries and Ellis, whose side was injured, were both treated in the casualty ward and were able to proceed home.
