The “ Grey River Argus ” says that a young lad. Ralph Kicking, aged 15. living in Alexander Street. Greymouth, met with a serious accident on Saturday morning about half past eleven The mishap occurred at the top end of Murray Street, where the hov, who is in the emnloy of Mr J. 11. Bryce, a fruit dealer, was driving a low-bodied delivery cart. It appears in though TTickling was standing in the vehicle, attempting to hack the horse from an nllev-way. The reins were in his hands at the time. Suddenly, the horse kicked its hind legs from beneath the cart hitting the hoy on the chest. This caused him to lose his balance and he fell sidcwnvs on to the foothpath. breaking hi . leg. The “Grey River Argus” says: -

“ In addition to the replacing of the raiL between here and Hokitika with heavier ones, the Railway Department is now in-tailing a turn-table at Hokitika, capable of handling express engines, so that the Department may propose to make the southern town the express terminus, instead of Grevmouth at no distant, date.” We wish it may he so. and point is given io the idea from the fact that one of the Greymouth local papers is remarking already that the town is becoming nothing hut “a (lag station” on the New Zealand railway system. However. it is not as had as that yet. so our Greymouth friends should lake heart, and above all endeavour to prevent its press from depreciating its position and standing. Gold feet are not a comfortable experience.
