FATALITY AT PAERATA
A YOUNG LADY SHOT DEAD
A very sad shooting fatality is reported from Paerata, near Pukekohe, resulting in the death of Miss Theo Connell, youngest daughter of Mrs Connell, a widowed lady living at the former place. Very few particulars have as yet reached town, but it is gathered that the unfortunate young lady went out on Saturday for some purpose, and took with her a gun for tbe purpose of shooting rabbits. On her not returning that evening a search was made, and eventually her body was found with a gun-sbot wound in the region of the heart. An inquest was held yesterday. The greatest sympathy will be felt for the family of the deceased young lady in their sad bereavement. Only two years ago the elder brother, Trooper J. Connell, was killed in South Africa, he being one of the first New Zealanders to fall.
