Christchurch, Saturday. Alfred Dowrey, 63 years of age, was brought to the hospital this morning after several days’ suffering with a crushed leg. He was employed at Halswell, felling trees by himself, aud last Monday a tree which hung on to another fell, pinning him to the ground. It took Lowrey three hours to extricate himself, but he could not walk aud lay for a day and a half In the open air, no one coming near him.
His “cooees” were at length heard by John Murphy, farmer, who took Lowrey to his tent where Lowrey, thinking the injury slight, attended to himself, Murphy sending him food. This morning Lowrey’s leg was much worse and a Constable brought him to the hospital, where the right leg was found to be shattered.
