COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER KILLED.
Gisborne, March 21
A well-known commercial traveller, Mr Andrew Sharp, representing the Phoenix Company, Dunedin, met with a fatal accident at 6 o’clock last evening. He had been visiting a. country customer and was riding a rather highspirited horse, which, when he mounted, bolted with him. Approaching a trap going in the same direction, the runaway swerved, and Mr Sharp came off, his head striking the wheel of the vehicle violently and fracturing the base of his skull. He was removed to the hospital, and succumbed at 9 p.m. He is understood to be a married man with a wife and family residing in Dunedin. He was on his second trip to Gisborne.
