RUN OVER BY LORRY

Child Killed at Maxwell

Dominion Special Service. Wanganui, December 16. Raymond Bubb, aged two and a half years, was killed instantly at Maxwell this afternoon, when he ran under the back wheel of a lorry driven by a Maori. It appears that when the child’s mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Bubb, arrived at the Maxwell Hall with a travelling show and were unloading it, it butcher’s van drew up. The accident happened when the lorry passed the van, the child apparently running on to the roadway in the path of the moving vehicle. An inquest will be held to-morrow.

He received serious injuries, including a fracured skull and broken jaw and was taken to the Masterton Public Hospital. He was reported late to-night to be in a very critical condition.
