Fatal Occurrence.—About noon on Wednesday, the 25th inst., at Upper Wakefield, Jas. Martin, aged 21, who has parents living near Hanson, lost his life. He was standing on the shafts of a wagon loaded with hay on Mr. Harrold’s farm while driving round a corner and a wheel went into a hole. He then fell, and the wheel passed over his head, completely crushing it. Death was instantaneous. An inquest was held at Mintaro on Thursday.
