BLENHEIM.
Yesterday.
A man named Michael Donovan was brought into town from the Wairau Valley to-day with his throat badly gashed, and the windpipe partly severed. He had been drinking heavily and is believed to be suffering from delirium tremens. He disappeared on Tuesday night, and on Wednesday morning went to an accommodation house in a fearful plight. He had, apparently, from the jagged appearance of the wounds, tried to cat his throat on a barbed wire fence. His head is also battered badly. It is believed he did this himself with a stone. It is thought that be will recover.
