THE FEILDING TRAGEDY
The volunteer shot at Feilding during a night attack on Saturday at the camp of instruction of the Manchester Bifles was Percy Crawford, aged 17. The deceased was in a tent alone at the time, and tbe body was not discovered until five o'clock on Sunday. He was a son of Mr R. Crawford, blacksmith. Subsequent investigation resulted in a discharged ball cartridge case being found in one of the heaps of empty cartridges lying where the members of the corps had been firing. The bullet, it is stated, passed first into the tent in which Crawford was, through both temples, and out of tbe tent at the back.
