In the course of a letter to tho Waikato Hoßpitni Board, Dr Makgill, district health officer, stated that in consequence of th« death of a Manunui native from tpyhoid fever, District Nurse Moore hod been eevorely asaaulted by Maoris, and but for the timely arrival of her brother, might have been seriouslv injured. He had placed the matter in the hands of the police. In this connection, he suggested that, owing to the Maoris' dislike of going to the hospital, it would be preferable in the case of outbreaks of fever, to establish hospital camps near the pas. This suggestion did not find favour with the board. The committee of tho To Kuiti Bulb Show and Industrial Exhibition met on Monday night.
