FARMER KILLED
RUN OVER BY TRACTOR. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) TIMARU, May 1. As a result of being run over by a tractor, an elderly retired farmer, David James Young, residing in Colombo Street. Christchurch, died in hospital in Timaru yesterday. Mi'. Young was visiting his son-in-law, Mr. H. Talbot. Rangitira Valley. He went to assist Mr. Talbot, who was pinned against a shed, when the tractor moved backward when started, apparently having been left in gear. Mr. Talbot got clear and reached the gears ahead of Mr. Young, who was leaning over the machine. Apparently the gear was put into forward instead of neutral, and Mr. Young was dragged over, the machine passing over him. He was sent to hospital, and died early this morning.
