Me was engaged hush-falling. and had just put a scarf into a tree when it split and one large piece tailing, caught him on one anil knocking him to the ground and seriously fracturing the arm. His mate at once went to his assistance, and alter giving him first aid and putting a torniquet on the arm to stay the bleeding, went to the Alexander mine, some six miles distant, for assistance. On arrival at the mine a party was at once got together, and they tramped to the scene of the accident, arriving there five hours alter the occurrence had taken place. The problem then was to get the injured man to the Alexander, and this was only accomplished at 1 a.m. next day, by which time Fanselow was very weak. Dr Wicken was at once phoned tor itrom Alexander and he at once set out, picking up Mr \V. Morris, Tppei llroadway, who knows the country well, to guide him over the hill. On arrival there he at once advised the sufferer’s removal to the hospital, and at (> a.in. on Friday a party started to carry Fanselow in a stretcher over the treacherous mountain, arriving at the 'Pair at Stevenson’s Flat about midday. and the sufferer was then brought into town by Air D. Twomey’s motoi and taken to the Hospital. Fa uselow’s arm is very badly crushed and ho has suffered a considerable loss of blood, hut we understand that Dr Wicken has great hopes of saving the injured limb.
