Napier, Monday. A sad drowning accident occurred at Clive tins afternoon, resulting in the death of a young' woman named : Miller, 18 years of age, and her brother, a lad 14- years old, children of Mr. H. Miller, a small farmer. "' It is not known exactly how the drowning occurred, but as the footsteps of both have been traced to the river, close to which the family hved, it would seem as though the boy had wandered on to the river bank and fallen in, and that his sister had seen the occurrence, and rushed to his assistance and been drowned in trying to rescue him. The steps of the young woman were wide apart, as though she had been running. The body of the young woman was recovered, but so far the body of the hoy has not been found.
