TWO GIRLS SUFFOCATED.
A jAD event occurred near Lome, Victoria, the other day. Two cousins, aged 13 and 15, one the daughter of Caleb Mountjoy, and the other a daughter of Thomas Mountjoy, were suffocated in a bedroom at the residence of Caleb Mountjoy, at Yan Yan Girt. It appears that before retiring to bed they threw some water on a charcoal fire which was burning in the grate, the fumes from which must have stifled them during the night. The family is amongst the earliest settlers in the district.
