April 24 1930 - James Bernard Moroney, aged 50 years, fell over (possibly while drunk), and was asphyxiated by dust. B.T.Dougherty found him on the road and sent for Matron Hunt who pronounced him dead.
(He drowned - in dust! On a Waiuta street! - See, it doesn't rain all of the time. The Prohibition Mine-shaft was actually named, as a miner's joke, because they sometimes ran out of water and couldn't work).
Mind you :- 3 March 1920 - "The drought lasted for four days and now we have weather fit for ducks!"
Umm, yeah.
cheers
