FATAL ACCIDENT AT HAYWARD''S.
A sad accident occurred near the Hayward''s station, on the Wellington-Wairarapa railway, yesterday, by which a fine little girl eighteen months old, lost her life. It appears that the deceased child, Ellen Jane Gower, and another little girl, Jessie Sykes, her cousin, two years of age, were playing in Stokes Valley, close to a stream, a few yards from the residence of Mr. F. Sykes, father of the little girl Jessie. Suddenly, Mrs. Sykes heard one of the chlldren crying, and her husband, on going to inquire the cause, found his little daughter by the side of the stream, sobbing. She pointed to the brook, and on following it a short distance, he found the body of the deceased child with her head jammed under a log of wood. The other little girl is too young to give any intelligible account of the occurrence, but there is no doubt that the unfortunate child fell into the water while playing near it, and was drowned. An inquest was to have been held this afternoon.
