SAWMILLER’S DEATH.
MISHAP WHILE CUTTING WOOD. CHRISTCHURCH, October 6. Severe bodily injuries which proved fatal this evening were received on Monday afternoon by Ernest Hayward Morris, 50, a sawmiller, of Oxford. Some wood which he was cutting with a power saw flew up and part of it broke his ribs, which penetrated one of his lungs and the other part broke his chest bone and penetrated the windpipe. A specialist was called from Christchurch and though the lung injury was remedied the windpipe injury proved fatal. He was proprietor of a mill, where the accident occurred. -(P.A.)
