Sisters Drowned in Pool.

A case of drowning occurred on the farm "Cyrus," close to Standerton, on Sunday afternoon, when the two small daughters of Mr. KRIEK, who recently moved into the district from the Free State, lost their lives in a pool of water. The girls, aged nine and seven years, were seen near the pool by their mother and called away, but evidently they went back for a bathe, and then minutes later, on again being missed, the mother went to the pool, where she saw the body of one girl floating in the water. The other body was soon afterwards found in the pool.

Horse and Rider Killed.

Details of a lightning fatality in the Hopetown district on Wednesday night have just come to hand. At about sunset on that day a farmer named GOUWS, living about 40 miles from town, went on his usual rounds and did not return in time for supper. At midnight a search party went out to find GOUWS, but it was not till two or three hours later that they found him. Both the horse and GOUWS had been struck by lightning. The horse was practically sitting down and GOUWS was still in the saddle. GOUWS had been married only eight or nine months.
