CRUSHED UNDER TRAIN
MAN KILLED IN DUNEDIN
ACCIDENT AT CROSSING Press Association DUNEDIN, Sunday. Through falling between the wheels of a sheep wagon in the Dunedin railway yards today, Mr. James Harding, single, aged 41 years, was killed. A train was in the yards when it stopped to have the guard’s van taken off. It pulled up to the Rattray Street crossing, where it stood for a few minutes. A railway porter at the crossing, after receiving the signal to let the train cross the road, noticed the man beneath the train. He immediately whistled to the driver to stop. No one knows how the man became entangled in the wheels, and no one has reported having seen him in the yards. Mr. Harding was formerly chief petty officer in the New Zealand division of the Royal Navy, and was discharged recently from H.M.S. Dunedin. He was without relatives in New Zealand. The secretary of the Returned Soldiers’ Association is arranging for his funeral.
