Auckland, Friday. As a result of accidently drinking some foot-rot mixture, a Maori boy Wiki, aged seven, was admitted to the Whangarei Hospital this morning in a state of collapse and died within half an hour. The boy, who lived with a native, Mutu Wiki, at Ngaratanua returned home from school at 3 p.m. and later joined a party that was making hay for Mr. H. Finlayson. Mutu Wiki, accompanied by the deceased, went to feed some pigs and Mutu left the boy in the milking shed. When he returned he saw that the boy was ill and it was subsequently ascertained that he had drunk from a bottle containing foot-rot mixture. He said that he had found it in the milking shed.
