        FATAL KNOCK WITH AN AXE.

        DEATH FROM BLOOD POISONING AT UGBOROUGH.

        An inquest was held at Ugborough on Thursday on the body of Alfred Shute, carpenter, aged 48 years, who had been in the employ of Mr. A. C. Johns, builder, Ugborough. While cutting a tree on October 14, deceased knocked his leg with the back of an axe, and blood poisoning followed. Dr. Miles, of Modbury, attended the sufferer, who apparently was doing well. But early in the morning of Tuesday November 4, Shute suddenly died. Dr. Miles stated that death was caused by phlebitis, directly due to the blood-poisoning of the wound in the leg. Also there were clots of blood from the veins to the heart.

        A verdict was given accordingly.
