Frederick Cziglelewski, an old man, and a resident of Carterton for veyjr many .wars, and formerly of Hampden Street, Hokitika, met his death suddenly a few days ago. At night lie went out to attend to a newly calved cow. The animal, a dehorned and a very quiet one, for some unaccountable reason, hunted the old man and knocked him flat. Apparently she then proceeded to trample him. Cziglelewski’s calls for help attracted attention, but when help arrived the cow had walked away anil was quietly grazing. The injured man was helped to his home, and medical aid summoned. It was found that his body was severely bruised and that six ribs were broken, llis hands and arms were badly laeerated. llis injuries were too severe and -he passed away the following day. His age is given as 80 years, and he leaves a widow some ten years older. There is no family.

Mr H. M. Cotilson, President of the Excelsior Football Chib, entertained the senior team at llis residence “The Gables.” Gibson Quay last- evening, in honor of the team’s success during the late football season. The Club was well represented, and visitors included officers of the Sub-Union and sister clubs. Mr Cotilson presided genially, and a very pleasant evening was passed. Mrs Cotilson provided a very generous repast, and with toast, song and story the time passed all too quickly. The speakers praised the Excelsiors for their prowess in the field, while their comradeship off the field was referred to in very happy twins. During the evening it was suggested that tho Sub-Union should keep in mind the practicability of sending a Sub-Union team to Christchurch in 1924 to revive the old acquaintance with Canterbury footballers which the* Hokitika Club established iu 1894. Before the evening closed the host and hostess were highly tributed by those present, and the proceedings wer brought to a dose by the singing of Auld Lang Syne and tiif Nntionnl Anthem.

Tin - continuous ruin is keeping the rivers up in the south, and traffic is living much impeded. Most of the creek crossings are deep anil difficult. On Monday Messrs Fitzgerald, of the Public Works Department and Milner, County staff, visited Waitangi-taona erosion, where the river has been making serious inroads. The protection work already in hand was approved with additional strengthening, and it is expected will secure the position satisfactorily. Tn the emergency very good work had been done, and it is hoped the worst danger is now over. Tn the main road the wash out beyond the Wataroa bridge is still holding up heavy traffic, as a damaged small bridge has to he repaired. Yesterday the motor mail service was "still held up hv the flooded condition of Waitnngi river. The sustained rain has quite disorganised traffic along the southern route, hut it is very fortunate that comparatively little material flood damage to roads or bridge,s lias been reported.
