A BOY KILLED.
LARKING WITH A GUN
XBy Telegraph—Press Association.] Napier, last night. A Maori boy named Iria Teuui, aged about seven years, was accidentally shot at Clive on Monday, and he succumbed to his injuries to-day. A fowling piece had been left at the side of a house, having been used fer hawk-shooting. Not knowing it was loaded two Maori boys began larking with it, when the weapon went off, Iria being wounded in the left side. Dr. Linney attended the lad, but the wound was a mortal one. An inquest will be held to-day.
