An inquest was called last week at Waimea on the death of a young Portuguese named Joseph Gomez. While riding on one of C. B. Hofgaard & Co.'s trucks, which was heavily loaded and in addition had a trailer attached, piled up with lumber, young Gomes, who was sitting on some corrugated iron on the truck, slipped off. The wheels of the lumber trailer passed over his abdomen, and he was immediately rushed to the hospital in an unconscious state. Death from shock resulted about an hour later.
