A buggy accident occurred on Thursday evening at Papawai Corner. The vehicle was driven by a native named hoppi, and also contained two Maori women. The horse took fright at a reaper and binder which was coming along the road, and swerving capsized the buggy. The occupants were thrown out, and the horse bolted up the street and finally collided with a high-boarded fence smashing the body of the buggy. The occupants escaped with a few bruises.
