This morning’s Grey Argus says: Another sawmill accident of.ia. serious nature occurred yesterday, shortly before mid-day at the Lake Brunner Sawmilling Company’s bush, near their mill at Bell Hill. The victim was Mr Patrick Flaherty. Tt appears that after a tree had been felled, it pinned down a sapling, which Flaherty went to cut. It is not clear whether he did cut it but by some means it cnm<> heavily in contact with the back of his head and rendered him quite unconscious. Word was at once sent t () Greymouth for medical aid. It was decided to convey the sufferer to the Grey Biv.r Hospital, where he arrived still unconscious at 5 p.m. Tho Medical Superintendent, T)r Gregg, on making ' an examination, found there was a fracture at the ba.se of the skull. The effect cf this was to paralyse the man on the right side, in the arm and leg. Flaherty was thus in a very serious condition, and enquiries made last night at tho Hospital elicited the information that his condition remained about the same as when he was admitted. Mr Flaherty is a well known mill worker and very popular among his mates. His many friends will hope for his speedy and complete recovery. WOLFE’S SCHNAPPS. For ooliU but with lumon bedtime.
