FATAL ACCIDENT.
[PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.] DUNEDIN, October 20.
A fatal accident happened on Wednesday at Adams’ Flat, notir Milton. About eight o’clock in the morning John Faskell, a settler of that p’ace, was at work stripping a seam of coal. Ho had removed a large quantity of earth, leaving an embankment ten feet in height, when his son. who was working a little distance off, observed the earth suddenly fall upon his father. He immediately rushed to his aid, and after doing what he could sent for further assistance. Dr. Held was on the spot as soon as possible, but on examination found that life was extinct. Death must have been instantaneous, as the skull was literally shattered to fragments.
