HBH 1890 APRIL 24 Local news Page 2 Only £5 5s was required to complete the purchase of a freehold property for Mrs BARTLETT, Mr H NAPHTALI set himself to raise the amount in subscriptions limited to half a crown, and had collected the five guineas before 10 o'clock. Mrs COWELL also sends us 10s in aid of the same object, and we have much pleasure therefore in stating that a freehold house for Mrs BARTLETT and her children is now an accomplished fact. The inquests on the three men who died suddenly on Monday, two in the Danevirke township and one on the road from Danevirke to Waipukurau hospital, resulted as follows: - Case of John OLSEN who fell dead in a paddock-verdict was "death from natural causes." Edward ELTON, who was found dead in a hotel-verdict was "death from congestion of the brain, caused by excessive drinking." Robert FREER, who died in the train-verdict, was "death from fatty degeneration of the heart and congestion of the brain caused by excessive drinking." The widow of the late Frederick HAMSHAR is left practically unprovided for, and if any of the charitably disposed care to forward anything for her assistance we shall be happy to receive and acknowledge it The inquest yesterday in connection with the death of Frederick HAMSHAR lasted from 11 o'clock in the morning till nearly 9.30 o'clock at night. .
