He was holding an iron spike while another workman was striking it with a heavy sledge hammer. The head of the hammer flew off and struck Mr Yates on the wrist, which was fractured. Mi’ Yates was attended by Dr G. B. A. Cowie and admitted io the Masterton Hospital, where his condition this morning was reported to be satisfactory.
