Hangklip Tragedy.
We regret to record the tragic death of Cyril GEBHARDT, the young nephew of Mr. C. GEBHARDT, the Commonage Ranger.  It appears that he went out shooting on Saturday in the direction of Hangklip and did not return.  On Monday a native reported having found his body lying at the foot of the krantz, terribly battered about.  The gun was found near by, and it is evident that the lad – for he was under twenty years of age – had fallen over, a distance of more than four hundred feet, in attempting to recover a bird which he had shot.  Great sympathy will be felt with the relatives of the deceased in their sad bereavement.

His Life for His Sister.
A drowning tragedy occurred on Sunday morning at Inyoni, Zululand, when Mark ARDINGTON, a Michaelhouse pupil home for the holidays, the second son of a well-known Zululand planter, was drowned in the Umsindusi River, some 200 yards from his parents’ house.  He and his sister were in a canoe which suddenly, for some unexplained reason, capsized.  In endeavouring to save his sister young ARDINGTON disappeared.  It is presumed he was taken by a crocodile, as one had been seen in the river recently.  His sister was saved, but no trace has been seen of the lad’s body or of any remains.

OELOFSE, a barman at the Masonic Hotel, was found on the pavement in Robinson Road opposite the Anglican Church at 7.15 this morning.  A rifle was lying beside him, and there was a bullet wound in the centre of the forehead.  Death must have taken place about an hour previously.  Deceased, who was in the early thirties, lived in Porter Street, and leaves a widow and one child.  He had been subject to fits of depression during the past fortnight, but no other reason can be assigned for his taking his own life.  The body was removed to the mortuary, and an inquest will be held.

Fatal Fumigation.
“Death due to cyanide poisoning, in accordance with the medical testimony,” was the verdict given by Dr. Glover HEATH at Germiston in the enquiry into the death of Millicent Phillips HOARE, aged nine months, who died on April 29th as a result of sleeping in a house recently fumigated.  There was nothing in the evidence, the coroner added, to support a charge of culpable homicide against the fumigator, but if there had been any contravention of the regulations, no doubt the municipality would take the matter up.  Detective OBERHOLZER said he examined the house at 9 a.m. on the day following the fumigation, and found thirteen ventilators, the front door fanlight and the top of some of the windows still sealed.

Death of Well-known Farmer.
News was received in town this morning that Mr. Claude E. EDWARDS, of Groensbloom, Kroonstad, had died at East London yesterday after a somewhat brief illness.  Mr. and Mrs. EDWARDS passed through Queenstown about a month ago on their way to spend a holiday at Kei Mouth.  They were joined by Mr. and Mrs. R.F. WEIR, of Peuleni.  About a fortnight ago Mr. EDWARDS was taken rather seriously ill and was conveyed to East London.  He gradually improved, but the improvement was not maintained, and he sank rapidly and died yesterday.  Claude EDWARDS was brought up in the Queenstown district and was one of our most popular young men.  He will ever be remembered as a great footballer, and probably the Swifts were never served by a more brilliant wing three-quarter.  Claude was also a keen volunteer, and served with the Q.R.V. in the Boer War, when he obtained his captaincy.  He married Miss MacDONALD, daughter of Mr. W. MacDONALD, to whom the sympathy of all will go out in her terrible bereavement.  Arrangements have been made for the funeral to take place in Queenstown, from St. Michael’s Church, at 2 p.m. to-morrow (Sunday).

A Shooting Fatality.
The death as the result of a shooting accident is reported of Mr. Harold S. WATT, of Brand Road, Durban, who was spending the week-end at Delville Wood on the new main line deviation.  It appears that he went shooting in the bush with a companion.  The pair separated in going through the bush and as they did not meet again his companion became alarmed and a search revealed Mr. WATT crumpled up at the bottom of a small krantz with gunshot wounds in the leg.  Medical aid was procured in half an hour, but meanwhile Mr. WATT succumbed to his wounds.  It is surmised that he came on the krantz unawares and slipped over, when the gun must have gone off.  Mr. WATT was 35 years of age, and a member of HARVEY, GREENACRE and Co.’s staff.

Voter’s Sudden Death
In the course of the rounding up of voters at Wellington (Cape) a tragic discovery was made.  A motor car was sent to convey Mr. Manie HAMMAN, a well-known sportsman of the district, to the poling station.  He occupied quarters by himself, and when the driver knocked at the door and on receiving no answer, opened it, he was horrified to see the man he sought lying dead on his bed.  He had evidently succumbed to a heart attack shortly before the messenger arrived.  Mr. HAMMAN was just over 50.
