FATAL ACCIDENT.
A LAD KILLED BY A TEAMCAR
Per Preas Association. DUNEDIN, August. 25,
Hugh McDiarmid, 19 years of age, was killed in George Street on Saturday evening. It has become the practice with hundreds on Saturday nights to walk on the roadway instead of tiie pavement. McDiarmid and a friend were doing this, when a traracar was going down the hill past the Octagon. The driver gave a warning whistle, and the friend stepped off the rails, but for some unknown reason deceased did not.
He was struck by one of the horses, and one of the wheels went over his chest, crashing it.
