ACCIDENTS & FATALITIES

Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, April 30. Percy Hardie, a son of Mr Hardie, of the firm of Hardie Bros., left Waimai this morning in company with a frirfnd named Upton, to shoot game. Upton got off the buggy and Hardie drove a short distance. Upton followed the buggy, which he found overturned, and Hardie underneath, dead. Evidently death was caused by the capsize of the buggy. STRATFORD, April 30. Emmett Boyle, aged four and a half years, a soil of Mr Thomas Boyle, a schoolmaster at Pembroke road, was instantaneously killed yesterday afternoon through the accidental discharge of a gun picked up by a neighbour's child aged seven. GISBORNE, April 30. A young woman named Edith McLeod was admitted to the hospital this evening suffering from a bullet wound on the right breast. She comes from the Motu district, and admits having shot herself with a pea rifle. Jealousy is said to have been the cause. At the meeting of the Poultry Society last night, the president referred with regret to the fact that a valued member of the Society, Mr J. Collins, had met with a serious accident through a motor car, having sustained a broken arm. Members generally, expressed their sympathy with Mr Collins. .
