CHILD RESCUED FROM FIRE SUCCUMBS
TAIHAPE, Dec. 5. Of two children rescued from a blazirig house in Ohingaiti on Wednesday night, one died in the Taihape Hospital today. He was: Samuel Mills, aged three years. Death was apparently the result of suffocation by smoke. The other child is seriously ill. It is presumed that the fire started about 9 o'clock as the result of baby clothes in front of an open fife catching alight. The mother, Mrs. W. Mills, noticed the tworoomed house in flames when returning from seeing a friend home. She called neighbours who cut an opening in the wall to get the children out, as the only door was burning.
