Accident at Wainuiomata.
— A fatal accident occurred at Haslam’s Wainuiomata Saw Mills on Tuesday afternoon. It seems that Haslam and a man named John Stack, who had been employed in the mills for some time back, were standing on a log in the mill, when Haslem slipped and Stack, in trying to save him, fell himself, and was either caught by the machinery or jammed in some way, his chest being crushed in, and death being of course instantaneous. Haslom was also severely hurt. An inquest was held on Stack’s body yesterday afternoon, and a verdict of accidental death returned.
