CHILD STRANGLED.
ENTANGLED IN STRAPS. Per Press Association. ROTORUA,_Dee. 6. Apparently strangled by becoming entangled in straps which had been used to' keep the child from falling out of his pram. James Alma Dryland, the 18-months-old son of Mr and Mrs J. G. Dryland, of King Street, was found lying dead in his pram to-day. The child was put out in the sunshine in its perambulator, and several times during the morning, while carrying out her household duties, Mrs Dryland observed that the baby appeared to be playing quite contentedly. When she vsited him about mid-day, however, she found the child lying face down with the straps around its neck, having apparently died from strangulation. An inquest will be held.
