GUN DISCHARGES
MAN LOSES A FINGER From Our Own Correspondent DARGAVILLE, Monday. Through the accidental discharge of a shotgun last evening, a young man named Ken Hamlin, of Aoroa, suffered the loss of a finger. Hamlin, with a companion, had gone in pursuit of hares on his father’s property at Aoroa. He fell in some mud as he was crossing a drain, and was cleaning the mud from around the hammers of the gun when it discharged, shattering the index finger of the left hand. It was found necessary to amputate the finger, and he is now a patient of the Northern Wairoa Hospital.
