Advice as been received in Greymouth that Fred Saul, aged 25 years married, was killed at Bealey Flat, through being pinned between trucks while shunting. -West Coast Times, 4/5/1915.
BEALEY FLAT, May 1. On Friday evening an accident occurred in the tunnel at Bealey Flat, by which Fred Saul, aged 26, lost his life. He was assisting to haul up a rake of trucks when one of the air hose pipes caught him, pinning him against the truck. He lived only a short time after the accident. Much sympathy is expressed by the residents of the township for deceased's wife, as he was only married 10 months ago. -Ashburton Guardian, 4/5/1915.
An inquest touching the death or Frederick Saul, who was killed in the tunnel at Bealey Flat, was hold last Saturday morning, before Mr. M. Fitzgerald, J.P., acting coroner, and a jury of six. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased Frederick Saul met his death through being crushed between the air hose and a truck, no blame being attachable to any person. The jury added a rider recommending that all blowers and machines in the break-down be stopped while hauling trucks. -West Coast Times, 6/5/1915.
