DEATH OF A LEGISLATIVE COUNCILLOR.
By Telegraph—Press Association^
DUNEDIN, April 29. The Hon. W. M. Bolt, xM.L.C, dropped dead, to-day, while on his way back from Waipori, after the ceremony of turning on the electric power for Dunedin city.
By Telegraph—Press Association. DUNEDIN, April 29. Mr Bolt's death occurred about 4.45 p.m., the party being then about three miles from the power house at Waipori. A long hill was encountered soon after the journey was commenced, and deceased along with others walked up the steep pinches in order to ease the load on the horse as much as possible. He evidently overexerted himself, however, as after he had walked about a quarter of a mile he collapsed on getting to the trap. He seemed to revive, but as soon as a start was made he fell back dead. Mr Bolt had responded to the toast of Parliament at the luncheon earlier in the day, and was then apparently in the best of health and spirits. The deceased gentleman was about 69 years of age.
