DUNEDIN.
A Fatal Fire.
Last night."
A horrible occurrence happened at Curries farm, Swinbourne, three miles from lower Kyburn, in Maniototo County, this forenoon. About 10 o'clock WilUam Annie and his father who were working about a mile from Neil Curries house, saw smoke rising, and at once rushed to the house. They found it enveloped in flames, and the two daughters of Neil Currie, aged eight and two years, were found to be missing. Their remains were afterwards found in the ashes. Previous to the fire only the two children had been in the house, the father and mother being absent in another district.
This day
