CASUALTIES.

BODY FOUND. By Telegraph—Press Association. WESTPORT, February 9. The decomposed body of a man was found by prospectors outside an old hut at the Britannia Mine at Waimangaroa to-day and was brought to town. It is understood to be that of George Bernard Arnold, who was last seen over a fortnight ago going up to the mine, at which no work has been doing for some time. A note was left stating that he was in agony from ptomaine poisoning, after eating meat; from a tin, and he could stand the pain no longer and was taking cyanide. An inquest will be held. SHUNTER KILLED. By Telegraph—Press Association AUCKLAND, February 9. Fatal injuries were received by a shunter, John Ralph Thorburn, aged 41, of Royal Oak, who fell beneath the wheels of a moving carriage during shunting operations at Auckland railway station this afternoon. A carriage with van attached was shunted on to a siding, and Thorburn was last seen walking round the end of the moving carriage. Death was practically instantaneous, the major injury being a broken back. Thorburn is survived by a wife and three children.
