HEAVY LOSS
VALUABLE DAIRY STOCK ELECTROCUTED
By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, February 15.
The “Star’s” Hamilton correspondent states that the danger occasioned to human and animal life by the falling of high tension electric lines was again exemplified, when one of the wires passing through Mr. F. W. Walter’s property at Lower Waitoa snapped and fell among a valuable dairy herd. Four of the best animals were electrocuted, their bodies being cut practically in half, and but for the early intervention of Mr. Walter’s employees several of the others would assuredly have been destroyed. As it is, his loss is heavy.
