CHRISTCHURCH.
Yesterday.
A man named Wilson fell off the 12. 25 train from Christchurch to I-yttelton as it was entering the tunnel. The accident was however noticed by the return train, and Detective Neill went in search of him, the engine stopped near the mouth, and just inside Wilson was found lying across the rails badly injured, had he not been seen to fall, the return train would have cut him to pieces.
