Volunteer Items
» On Saturday at Timaru a young lady named Wood, while nursing a baby in Turnbull-street, was hit in the hip by a spent bullet which came in through the window. The Naval Volunteers were class firing at the range, and the bullet is supposed to have been one fired at a seagull in tbe direction of town. The wound is not serious. The bullet passed through the baby's clothes. A contemporary saya: •' Colonel Pox seems to have displeased the Oamaru Volunteers. " Whether the Oamaru Volunteers " pleased Colonel Fox" is not said, although that is what yolunteers have to try to do.
