CHILD KILLED BY A HORSE.
(l!V TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
Blenheim, this day. A child named Bothwell, two and a half years old, was kicked to death by a horse yesterday evening. Tho child was missed, and a search made by the father and others, who were horrified to find, about C.30, the little boy's body, nearly cold, and with his head broken in, lying in a stockyard adjoining his parents' residence. It is supposed that the child got between the horse's legs, or in some other way attracted its attention, and that a kick smashed his skull in.
