WINNER OF £2000 PRIZE
MAY BE TARANAKI RESIDENT FARM LABOURER OF MOKOIA. DOGGED BY BAD LUCK BEFORE. It was rumoured at Hawera yesterday that Mr. Fred Hart, a farm labourer in the Mokoia district, was the holder of the winning ticket in the “Luck at Last art union. Mr. Hart bought some tickets at Palmerston North under the nom de plume of “Passing Through,” and it is believed that this may be the correct reading of “Posing Through,” which was telegraphed on Saturday night by the Press Association. Although he has been about Hawera for some years Mr. Hart is new to the Mokoia district and could not be traced by the Daily News yesterday, but his sister, Mrs. Coleman, Albion Street, Hawera, confirmed the “Passing Thro pseudonym. She said bad luck had dogged hei brother all his life previously. He had always been a farm labourer, and had experienced a long chapter of accidents in his career. Mr. Hart is 36 years old and unmarried. He was employed during the winter by Mr. S. Thrush, Tokaora.
