TIMARU.
Saturday. The train from Oamaru did not arrire hero till 11.30 owing to an accident at Richmond crossing. It appears that a bullock crossing the line was struck by the cowcatcher and carried along the line, when the front wheels went over it, and the engine was thrown off the line and capsized. The driver jumped down, but the stoker, Mclntyre, had no chance. His legs caught under the engine, and one was fearfully crushed. The carriages remained on the line, but the engine was broken into several pieces.
