CHILD’S TRAGIC END;
Gisborne, Yesterday. Norman Kelly, aged .fourteen months, a son of Hugh Kelly, an employee of the Waipaoa Freezing Works, fell down a boro 17 feet deep and 10 inches in. diameter, which the father -had sunk for water. An endeavour was made to extricate the child by means of ropes and hooks, hut the'narrowness of the aperture rendered this impossible. Men from the freezing woi'ks then set to dig the child out, and after a long and arduous task this was accomplished,, but the infant when recovered was unconscious and in a pitiable condition, and died shortly afterwards.
