THREE LADIES INJURED. Per Press Association. Invercargill, last night. To-night, through an explosion of gas in a boarding-house, one young woman was considerably scorched and another in a lesser degree, while both had their dresses destroyed. .The landlady, Mrs Judge, was rendered unconscious, and the house set on fire.
It was known that gas was escaping, but someone struck a match and caused an explosion. The Fire Brigade saved the building, which is a very old one, in the vicinity of the first church, and was formerly the Farmers’ Arms Hotel.
