While proceeding from Tauranga to Te Puna to-night on a railway jigger, Mr. McCann, inspector of permanent way here, with Mr. Humphreys, employed as a clerk in the district railway engineer’s office at Auckland, and Mr. Humphreys’ child, came suddenly on the Tauranga express. They managed to get clear, but the train knocked the Jigger on top of Mr. Humphreys, who sustained injuries to his head and knee and a fractured wrist. He is not seriously injured, and the others escaped unhurt.
