SHOCKING TRAP 'ACCIDENT. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Chrlstchurch, May 2. ; A shocking trap accident is reported r from Queenstown. A party were proceeding yesterday to Arrowtown, via Arthur's Point; and when on a steep ; incline to a bridge the horse got out .of hand, and the occupants were thrown against the stone parapet." J. H. Wear, a single man,' of Christchurch, was killed, and Mrs. Wear had both arms fractured. Mr. and Mrs. Penrose (Wellington) were also serious- ; ly injured. R. Footo (Dunedin) received bruises and slight concussion. ; The injured were removed to the i Frankton Hospital, and are progressing as well as can be expected; ■ -When sending tobacco to our boys at the front it should be remembered that any ordinary tobacco is liable to become mildew on itfj way out, as a result of ' tlie humid . atmospheric conditions, but when sending Gold Pouch you run no • such risk, because New Zealand-grown, tobacco will stand any chango of climate and keep in perfect condition for any ; length of time. And no other tobacco -will remind our boys so much of home, for Gold Pouch is grown in the land they are fighting for—'tis the pride of Hawke's Bay. Gold Pouch Aromatic is essentially a soldier's tobacco, in that it contains but li per cent, of Nicotine, and can bo smoked all day without affecting L the heart or producing dimness or V nausea. Send your soldier a big, bulging 2}oz. bag—only one shilling. If lie's a cigarette smoker; send him the New Zea- ' land-grown Three Diamonds Tobacco, which leaves no sharp and bitter aftertaste like foreign tobaccos.—Advt.
