Some little while later, she was discovered, lying on the path, by another man, a Palmerston North visitor to Wanganui. The matter was reported to Constable O’Brien, of the St. John’s Police Station, and Miss Ross was removed to the hospital. She has injuries to her head, and it will be ascertained to-day, when an X-ray examination is to be made, whether there is a fracture of her skull. Her condition is not serious.
