PUKEKOHE MAN'S DEATH.
BODY FOUND AFTER SEARCH. HEART FAILURE THE CAUSE. [nv TET.r.GRAriT. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WHANOAREI, Friday. The death occurred suddenly last evening at Whangao, near Kawakawa, of Mr. ]M. W. Sellars, of Pukekohc, who, with his wife and daughter, had been staying with relatives at Kawakawa. Early yesterday Mr. Sellars went for a walk to the Whangao reservoir, which is about three miles from tho town. It is difficult of access and the walk would have taxed tho strength of a much younger man. When he did not return for lunch a search party was formed and tho body of Mr. Sellars was found at about eight o'clock after a most strenuous search, caused by tho steep country and high fern and tea-tree. Death was due to heart failure. No inquest is necessary.
Mr. Sellars leaves a widow, four daughters and ono son.
