Surgical aid was obtained and Constable'Fitzgibbons_ had the , sufferer removed to a boardinghouse. Mr Wilson was on Id; way from Palmerston to his home at Utiku. Judging from the discussion hy the ' Feildiug Borough Council ou Saturday of the question fi erection of gas making plant, one of throe courses , is likely to bo adopted—the buying out of the present- company, but not at the price demanded ; the erection of a plant to bo worked in opposition to that of the Company; os, obtain from the Company a Large reduction in the price of gas for public, and private use. The idea of establishing an electric lighting plant was never seriously considered. We regret to have to record the .death of Mr Henry Emeus, a very old and highly respected resident of Marton, which occurred on Friday at Wanganui Hospital.

About. 10 years later he, took up laud ou the ‘Piikepapa road,: and was a successful farqior. He retired from active work five years ago owing to a serious injury to his knee. The late Mr Emeus was a robust man for his age, aud always 1 enjoyed splendid health. The cause of deatli was an internal trouble, aud during Ms short illness he suffered much'pain. The funeral will- leave his late residence at Pukepapa to- t morrow (Tuesday). i I SB CEr.-F.BP.ITT OF BANDEB, AND SON’S ! PUP.a VOLATILE tiUCAUTOTI extbaot Is universally acknowledged.
