KILLED BY A PIN.
•Prsss Association. NAPIER, March 4. A fatality occurred this morning at Puketitiri, about 35 miles inland from Napier, whereby a single man, named Allen Nicholson, 23 years old, lost his life. Nicholson was driving a traction engine bringing two truckloads of timber to the town, and when an embankment, about a mile along the road, was reached, the steering chain carried away, and the engine went over the side, dragging a truck with it into a gully 12ft deep. The engine turned completely over, and Nicholson was struck on the head by the draw pin of the trailer, the iron penetrating the head and causing instantaneous death.
