GORED BY COW.
CHILD'S HEAD INJURY. YOUTH'S PLUCKY ACTION. ANIMAL ORDINARILY QUIET. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) DARGAVIDLE, this day. A four-year-old girl, Audrey Roberts, daughter of Mr. David B. Roberts, of Portland Street, was seriously gored by a cow on the property of Mrs. J. J. Powell, jun., in Valley Road. With her mother the child was paying a Sunday afternoon call and she left the house to go into an adjoining paddock to see a newly-born calf. Mrs. Powell's boys were bringing the cow up towards the house and called out to Audrey to get back through the fence. Before she could do so, however, the cow charged and knocked her down. Phillip Parore, aged 14 years, who was assisting with the driving, pluckily went to the assistance of the child with p. stick and kept the cow off. Mr. J. Marinkovich, a neighbour, assisted, and the child was carried into the house with a nasty cut on the side of her head. Dr. Crump ordered her removal to the Northern Wairoa Hospital. The cow, which was ordinarily quiet, had been dehorned and had calved the previous afternoon.
