STRANGE ACCIDENT.
FATAL FALL FROM TRAIN. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. A young man named James Mallin, who was picked up unconscious beside the Onehunga railway line at Penrose on Monday night and taken to the Auckland hospital, died early this morning'. 80 far inquiries have failed to elicit an explanation of how Mallin came to fall from the train. He and his companion, Murdoch McLeod, of Onehunga, wore found, beside the line,- both being injured. McLeod's injuries were much less (serious than those of Mallin, whose skull was fractured. McLeod is now an out-patient of the hospital. Beyond a statement that they were standing on the carriage platform and fell off the train, no explanation has been given of the accident. An inquest will be opened to-morrow.
