Miss 11 Naylor returned to Clyde on Wednesday last after spending Easter with her parents in Dunedin. It is with feelings of profound regret that we have to chronicle the demise at the Dunslan Hospital last night of Mr Los Scott, railway clerk at Clyde. In our last issue it was reported that he had been injured in a simple way by running into a single wire barrier while running after a football in the Kec. While this statement was true, the accident was not the actual cause of his passing, as he died from bloodpoisoning. It is a very sad case! Poor Les was only a new-comer to Clyde, but his kindly disposition and gentlemanly behaviour had earned lor him the respect and esteem of all who knew him. His untimely death is greatly to be deplored, and it has caused an atmosphere of gloom over the town this morning. The deceased was a native of Balclutha and is to be buried there.
