A TRAGEDY.
This curious incident happened in one of the offices at the Auckland railway station recently. The mouse evidently fell from a ham hung directly over the gas jet, and went head foremost clean into the chimney while the gas was still burning. The heat was sufficient to cause instant death. The chimney was unbroken.
