MOTOR FATALITY.
A SCHOOLBOY KILLED.
Napier, July 10,
A schoolboy named Thomas Isaac Butcher, aged 6 years, was so severely injured as a result of an accident opposite the Hastings Street School shortly after noon to-day that he died just after being admitted to Napier Hospital, to which institution he was immediately conveyed. Deceased was hanging on to the rear of a motor lorry, and suddenly ran out into the road right in front of a passing motor car which was being driven by Miss K. Speedy, of Waipawa. The lorry and ear were proceeding in opposite directions, and the car was passing very near. The lad ran from behind the lorry just as the car passed, and could not stop in time to miss the ear. He put his hand out on the mudgard of the car in an. effort to stop, but the car threw him to the ground in front of it. The car passed over one wrist, death probably being caused from a fracture caused by the fall. An inquest will be held.
