Very Sad Fatal Accident.
TWO CHILDREN KILLED. [Per Press Association.] Shag Point, September 20. At noon yesterday two little children were found to be missing. They were about three years old. One was a girl named Patterson, the other a boy named Hollis. Search was made all the afternoon without avail, and the conclusion was come to that they had fallen over the cliffs into the sea. This conclusion proved correct, as to-day the little girl’s body was washed up on the beach. The father of the girl Patterson works at the Brunner mine, West Coast, and Hollis left Shag Point two days ago to seek for work, and at present it is unknown where he is.
