FOUND DEAD.
By Telegraph —Press Association. NELSON, January 7." Mr W. A. Shain, District Engineer, was found lying dead in his office late this afternoon. Recently the business of this Department has been conducted at Tadmor, where he has been residing, but he was in town on New Year's Eve, and as his family are i-esiding in a northern suburb he evidently went to his town office last Monday night and slept there, intending to catch an early train on New Year's morning. During the night he must have had a fit, and died there. Mr Shain had not been missed, as his family and friends believed he was at work in the Upper Tadmor, and the people there thought he was detained in town.
