I The death is announced from Duni ediu of Mr. Alfred Dillon Bell, aged ! 81, ,a well-known runhoider, and a ! brother of Sir Francis Bell, M.L.C. ! The late Mr. Bell was first chairman ! of the Waihomo County Council, and j was a member of the Otago Military | Appeal Board during the war. DeceasI on was educated at the Otago Boys' ! High School during 1864-ISGS (gaining I the Chamber of Commerce medal for \ arithmetic) and at the Auckland i Grammar School. Shortly after leav- ! ing school he went to live at the \ Shag Valley station homestead, where jhe resided* almost continuously from j that time. This station, and the Ida • Valley run, were his chief interests ! in the pastoral industry. The latter | property was, however, taken over | for closer settlement on the expiry of j the lease some years ago. Although i his pastoral interests called for the ! expenditure of a large amount of time, j Mr. Bell'devoted a great deal of atj tontion to the study of chemistry 'and physics, and was "recognised as an | authority on these subjects and on I many matters outside the range of the ! industry in which he was engaged. ! Unlike "his distinguished father- and ■bis elder brother. Sir Francis Bell, |he was not prominently associated j with public life. He married the se::- ! on'd daughter of Mr. H. W. Robinson. | district judge, and his widow and ! one son (Mr. Frank Bell) and one i daughter (Miss Brenda Bell) survive 1 him.
