Accidents and Fatalities.
(Per Press Association.)
GISBORNE, November 15,
Af; the inquest regarding the death of Frank Mason at Waipiro, evidence showed that he had asked a friend to go for a walk, but would not wait until after lunch, and set off by himself. Half an hour later a Maori rode in with the news that Mnson's body was in the surf. Dr Davis said he had been treating Mason for nervous irritability for two years. He thought it most probable the man had fallen upon the sand in a fit and had been smothered. There were no indications of drowning, and the man's no3trils and throat were filled with sand. A verdict was returned accordingly.
