RUN OVER BY TRAIN.
MAN SUCCUMBS TO INJURIES. Dunedin, March 22. Run over at the Rattray Street railway crossing this morning, by the 10.25 train to Mosgiel, a man named Robert Wilson had both legs cut oil about the knee, and received head injuries. He was iifty-six years of age, and a married man. From the statements of witnesses, it seems that the train was moving out at a steady pace, the bells rang out their warning, and the crossingkeeper was carrying out his duty of signalling the traffic, but the man did not heed the bell. One person stats that he saw deceased crouched on the line in front of the oncoming engine, and another man said he saw him just as he fell forward beneath it. A bottle believed to have contained a nerve tonic was found among Wlilson’s belongings. He had not long been discharged from hospital. An inquest was opened at the hospital this afternoon.
