TWO MEN KILLED.
MOTOR CAR OUT OF CONTROL. Dunedin, November 21. A serious motor accident, in which two men were killed, occurred last night about 16 miles from Outran). A party of men consistingof Michael Black (a surfaceman in the employ of the Taieri County Council), James Harrison and Murdoch Graham (sheep-farmers': of Hindon) was returning home from the Outram show. Heavy rain during the day had made the roads dangerously slippery, and when negotiating a steep descent, the car suddenly got out of control and rushed over a bank, capsizing. Harrison was thrown clear, but Black and Graham were pinned beneath the car. Harrison was unable to lift the car and had to go a mile for aid. When the bodies were extricated both men were dead. Black was 36 years old, married, and with a young family, and Graham an elderly man with a grownup family. The car was owned and driven by Black. The cause of the mishap is stated to be a sudden breaking of a vital part of the steering gear. „
