A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
Gisborne, Saturday
Leslie Jeffers, aged 21, employed on road construction work at Wkareata, dropped a crowbar, with which lie had been working on the top of a bank 12 feet above the soft earth. Jeffers slipped, down the bank, and became impaled on the bar, which went right through his body, entering the thigh and coming out at the shoulder blade. It required the efforts of two strong men to remove the bar. Jeffers was brought to the town hospital, but succumbed on Sunday afternoon.
