A SAD OCCURRENCE.

■ » Young Man Shot by a Friend. Christchurch, August 20. A serious accident occurred at Rangiora about noon yesterday. A young man named J. Whitmore, aged 2i years, came from the North Island with a friend named Hall, and was staying with the latter’s uncle, Mr Busing. During the morning the young men were shooting at a target. Whitmore was standing in the doorway of a shed, and Hall was a short distance away to the left. Whitmore fired a shot and stepped quickly out of the doorway to ascertain the result. Just at that moment Hall fired, and the bullet struck Whitmore in the neck, below and behind the left ear, passing through the right eye, and shattering the eyeball. Whitmore was removed to a nursing home, where he was attended by a medical man who removed the right eye. Little hope is entertained of his recovery. Whitmore has no relations in New Zealand.
