CAR FALLS INTO CREEK
MAN AND DAUGHTER DROWNED
NIECE’S NARROW ESCAPE
By Telegraph.—Press Association
Wanganui, October 12
When his lights were dimmed to pass another car, Paul Fromont, aged 49, city foreman of works, to-night drove his car through the railings of a small bridge on the road leading out of the city known as Number Three Line. The car landed upside down in the creek, and Fromont and his only daughter, Stella, aged 25, were drowned. A niece, Lettie Murphy, managed to (ree herself, and summoned assistance, but the other two were dead before the car could be removed. The bridge is very narrow. Fromont leaves nine sons.
