It appears that Peter Joyce, aged about 28, and Fred Morton, bushmen, were riding on the front of a locomotive going up an incline on Messrs EiJis and Bnrnand's tramway line, and collided with a truck of navvies coming down, Joyce had both his legs badly crushed, and died shortly after reaching Mangapeehi. Morton had one leg badly crushed below the knee, and is suffering from a compound fracture. He was put on the 10 a.m. express, and taken to the Waikato Hospital.
