KNOCKED DOWN BY UNKNOWN CAR.
A man lying unconscious in the middle of the road with his bicycle on top of him met the gaze of Mr h • N. Anderson, the County Engineer, when motoring from Levin lo Ohan on a recent evening, says the Chronicle. At lirst Air Ander-•-ou arrived at the natural conclusion that the man was drunk, but on getting out to move him to a •safer spot he found that he was stunned in the literal and not the colloquial sense. While with the aid of a passing motorist, the Engineer was carrying the man to the side of the road, he came to. In reply to questions he could only state that he had been knocked over by a small ear. Barring a lump on the back of the head and a severe shaking, he was uninjured. Ilis statements were borne out by Hie fact that the clay at the side of the road was deeply" rutted where the car had evidently swerved at the point of impact. It seems obvious that the motorist drove callously on without stopping to look at the victim of his recklessness.
