Luckily the cart was empty. There was no one with Mr Smith at the time of the accident but one of the sons seeing the horse unattended surmised that .«=omething was wrong, and updn investigation found bis father lying in a semi-unconscious state. The 'injured man was re—s moved do the house and medical / aid procured. It was ascertained that several ribs were broken and that M r Smith was suffering from shock. ‘ Thei full extent of the injuries havs not yet been ascertained. Upon inquiry this morning we learnt that Mr Smith passed a fairly good night and hopes are entertained that the injuries are not so serious as was at first anticipated. ■ However, it is reported that he is not yet out of danger.
