A billy of milk which he was carrying caught between his knee and the handlebar of ins i-yrye, causing him to skid in the loose metal of the road. He fell heavily, and was badly shaken, also receiving a nasty cut in his arm necessiating twelve stitches and he will be unable to work for a fortnight. His many friends wish him a speedy recovery. Airs. Shonrock’s condition is causing anxiety to her relatives and friends in the district. The cutting at the western end of Champion’s Line was the scene or an accident on Tuesday afternoon between a lorry and a car which might have resulted in serious consequences had the two vehicles been travelling fast. In passing the lorry the outer wheels of the car slid over the edge of the bank and there the car stayed suspended until a ’phone message brought Air. Lundy’s breakdown lorry from Bulls to draw the car back on the road. The occupants of the car were unhurt, and the car was able to proceed on its journey to Wellington.
