LOSS OF STOCK FEARED MAY HAVE DIED IN RANGES. It is reported that dairy farmers fear that their cows, which they have grazing on bush country in the Tararua ranges, have died during the heavy snowstorms that have occurred during the past week. One farmer, who went into the ranges it few days ago, reports that the snow in the gullies is manyfeet deep hence it is feared that the stock may have perished. It is impossible in the circumstances to venture very far into the ranges. BADMINTON MATCH WIN FOR CARTERTON.
