A STRANGE FATALITY.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association;) Wanganui, January 31. A strange fatality occurred this morning. It appears that W. G. Hook, a carrier, aged 43, and John Armstrong, a clerk, were firing a revolver at a benzine tin in a back yard in Muir Street, Gonville. Armstrong had occasion to go into the shed and while there ho heard two shots. The first hit the tin, but the second did not. On going ba.c> to Hook, Armstrong found him lying deajl on the ground with a bullet wound in the forehead. Apparently nobody but Hook could have fired theshot, yet why ho should have done so is a mystery, as he was in good spirits when Armstrong left him a few minutes previously.
