NELSON NEWS.
A PAINFUL ACCIDENT. Per Press Association. Nelson, last night. A young man named Chas. Frater was engaged bush-felling at Takaka, when the butt of the tree slipped off the stump on to his left foot, which was left hanging by the tendons. His mates severed these and rendered first aid, and then carried him to the port, from whence he was brought to-night and taken to the Nelson Hospital. SUPPOSED DROWNING CASE. The oil launch Huia from Lyttelton and other ports arrived to-night. Off the Croixelles she picked up a big boat partly filled with water with three rowlocks in position, but no oars. The launch towed the boat to Mr Steward’s homestead, and information was received that the boat belonged to a half-caste named Morgan. It is feared that an accident has occurred.
