An inquest was held at Kumara yesterday touching tlie death of Henry Brown, mining agent, who was found dead in bed the previous evening. Evi- • deuce was led by Constable Fox .to show . that deceased had been about the day j before. When missed on the Tuesday I evening by a neighbour the police was j informed and the closed premises wore broken into from tho rear. Brown was found dead in bed. From the fact that his clock was still going and went for some hours later, it was surmised that death intervened about twelve or fourteen hours before the discovery of the body. The deceased was an old ago pensioner, aged 77 years. He had money about bis person and also in tho Savings Bank. The body was well nourished, and from general appearances death was caused by heart failure. The Coroner (Mr Evans) returned a verdict of death from natural causes. The internment took place at Kumara cemetery this morning, the Rev Purchas officiating.

There was another splendid attend- J mice at the Princess Theatre last night for the closing evening of the All Saints’ Church fete and sale of work. Business throughout the evening was most satisfactory, and the total takings for the two days will aggregate about £350. Tiie entertainment again went very pleasingly. The dressing and mounting were good, and was heightened by the special lighting provided by Mr Pollard. Several items were encored, and the whole proceedings were most enjoyable. Before the close of the proceedings the vicar, Dr Holloway, - thanked one and all for their help. In mentioning the workers he specially praised their well sustained effort, and was grateful to Mrs O’Sullivan and Miss Davis for coming from Groymouth. to assist them. He thanked the band for its ready help, also the local press; the public for their presence and needful support, and particularly Mr and Mrs Staveley for their untiring work, and the specially pleasing entertainments they and the performers had put on so successfully during the bazaar. The event was brought to a close shortly before 11 o’clock, when all concerned were well pleased with the fine result achieved. The monetary return will prove to be one ol the best results yet achieved by All Saints’ Church at these annual gatherings iii aid of the local funds, and to this fine return the special thanks of the congregation! are due to tho band of workers, who for so many weeks never faltered in their desire to achieve a distinctive success. A reunion of workers and all who took part in the bazaar will bo held at the All Saints’ school room on Friday week, when the Church Committee will entertain the performers and workers at a social evening.
