It appears he was riding a somewhat fresh horse, the animal rearing up and falling back on him, fracturing ■the peivfis bone. Some three hours after the time of the accident a little lad named W. Cossiboom happened to be driving some cows along the road and heard the cries and groans of Mr Sycamore, The lad became /frightened and proceeded to his home to give the alarm. In quick time Mr Sycamoore’s wife, his two daughters., Mrs C Taylor, Mrs Atkins (2), Mr Datson and Mr J. Fulton were summonded, and they had the unfortunate man removed on a stretcher. He was suffering terribly, and-upon being attended, to by Dr Roberts, was removed to the Hamilton Hospital, being accompanied there by Messrs J. Fulton and C Smeed. He is at present progressing as well as can be expected, but it will be some time before he is able to get about again, Mr Sycamore is well-known in Pukekohe especially by those who frequent the Farmers’ Auctioneering Company’s mart sales on Fridays. iHis many friends wish him a speedy recovery. Mr Sycamore was particularly clever with horses, and his latest e>.perle.nce was caused by a very vicious equine. GOVERNMENT GRANT. HARRISVILLE ROAD BRIDGE.
