ELECTROCUTED
VALUABLE DAIRY CATTLE. BREAK IN HIGH TENSION WIRE. [Per Press Association] AUCKLAND, Feb. 15. The 4< Star’s” Hamilton correspondent states that the danger occasioned to human and animal life by the falling of high tension electric wires was again exemplified when one of the wires passing through Mr F. W. Walters’ property at Lower Waitoa snapped and fell among a valuable dairy herd. Four of the animals were electrocuted, their bodies being cut practically in half, and but for the early intervention of Mr Walters’ employees several of the others would assuredly have been destroyed. As it is his loss is heavy.
