NEARLY A TRAGEDY
THREE MEN POISONED Three young men, Frank Smith, John Wilson and Max Hartley, residents of Haumoana, are inmates of Napier Hospital. Last week-end they left Ilaumouna on a fishing expedition to Ocean Beach and they made the Haupori station their base. They decided to 1 boil the hilly for lunch and the water used was taken from one of the station tanks, which, unknown to them, was used in connection with the treatment of foot-rot on sheep and contained a certain amount of arsenic. After drinking the tea the three young men became violently ill. Their condition gradually grew worse, but they were able to crawl to the station and secured help. They are now reported to be progressing satisfactorily. —Telegraph.
