ONE CHILD DIES
RESCUED FROM BURNING HOUSE P.A. TAIHAPE, Dec. 5. One of the two children rescued from a l 'blazing house at Ohingaiti on Wednesday night died in the Taihape Hospital to-day. He was Samuel Mills, aged three years. Death was apparently the result of suffocation by smoke. The other child is seriously ill. The fire evidently started about 9 o’clock, as a result of baby clothes in front of an open fire catching alight. The mother, Mrs W. Mills, noticed the two-roomed house in flames when returning from accompanying a friend home. She called neighbours, who cut an opening in the wall to get the children out, as the only door was burning.
