KILLED BY A TRAMCAR.
An Auckland Fatality
[By Telegraph — Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Last Night. A terrible fatality occurred in the city to-night, the victim being Harry Elder, about forty years old. He was a painter, and resided at Freeman's Bay.
It is believed that Elder was a passenger by the tram-car which ran over him, and that he got off at the corner of Victoria and Nelson-streets, where the accident occurred.
He was "-knocked down and dragged about, twenty yards. When extricated —a work that took about fifteen minutes—the body was terribly mutilated.
A pathotic incident was that a son of the victim, quite unconscious that the injured man was his father, assisted" to extricate the dead body.
