LATEST PARTICULARS.
Very little information is available regarding the murder of Richard Bell, farmer. His brother-in-law, Mr J. McMaster, accompanied him part of the way home, and wished him to stop at his house, the night being very dark. Bell declined, as his wife would be anxious. The shot was fired from behind a tussock. Mrs Bell heard the report, and , feeling alarmed, went out and along the track to the gate. She met her husband at the small bridge over the stream, which in his desperate condition he was unable to cross till she assisted him. The gun with which the foul deed was done was found close to the gate with the muzzle driven into the ground. Inspector Hickson arrived from Dunedin to-day, and a systematic search of the locality to discover the owner of the gun will be made. *—^— — — m
