(By Telegraph.) (Per Press Association.) Hawera, This Day. This morning a poisoning accident occurred here. Yesterday, when a man named Tricklepenny was -working in the country, he brought home some oatmeal he found a barn. This morning his wife and a neighbour cooked and ate some of it. Two women and five children were seized with violent vomiting and their position was critical for a time, but they are now out of danger. It turns out that the oatmeal was mixed with arsenic, and was used by the man's employer to poison rats.
