CHILD’S TRAGIC DEATH.
PLAYED WITH RABBIT POISON. Cambridge, January 26. In tragic circumstances, the death occurred of Betty Nina James, the two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. 11. James, farmers, of French Pass road, Cambridge, last evening. While her parents were at the milking shed a quarter of a male away, their two children found a. tin of poison used for destroying rabbits. Hearing the children crying, a domestic found the little girl gasping for breath, while the little boy was throwing dirt, mixed with gas, over the face of the child. A doctor was immediately summoned but life was extinct when he arrived. At the inquest a verdict was returned of death by misadventure, through being accidently poisoned, no blame being attachable to anyone. The coroner commented on the necessity for keeping such a deadly poison beyond the range of children.
