A MAILMAN SHOT DEAD.
THE MAIL MISSING. The secretary of the Post and Telegraph Department' (Mr D. Robertson) received a telegraphic message yesterday stating that a man named J. Anderson, mailman between Tangiteroria and Maungakaramea (an inland district between Dargarville and Whangarei, north of Auckland), had been shot dead whilst carrying mails between the places mentioned. No particulars were available, and it is not known whether the man was shot" accidentally or otherwise. The mails are missing. In conversation with a Dominion reporter, the secretary said that he could. hardly conceive it possible that the man was shot' by those ■ wishing to rob the mail. At the place mentioned, the mail matter was small in quantity, and, presumably, not of great enough value to warrant robbery under arms.
