A South Canterbury settler named Fitzgerald met with his death in a rather remarkable manner. He was driving homo, and handed the reins to his wife with the intention of filling and lighting his pipe. A rabbit ran out from a hedge in front of the horse, the animal stopping suddenly. The sudden'jerk threw Allen out of the trap, and the horse, starting again, pulled the vehicle over him. He was picked up and promptly taken home, but expired an hour later.
