TARANAKI TRAGEDY
MOTHER AND DAUGHTER FOUND SHOT (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) New Plymouth, June 18. A shocking tragedy occurred at Huirangi during the night. A farmer named Percy Surrey was roused by a muffled report in his wife’s bedroom. Finding the door locked, he entered through a window, and found his wife lying on the floor dead with a single-barrelled gun beside her, and his daughter, aged 19, on the bed at the point of death from a gunshot wound. On the bed was a spent cartridge. It is assumed that Mrs. Surrey, who was in indifferent health, had shot her daughter and then herself.
