HARROW, .Sunday

Yesterday evening a little boy, nine years old, son of Mr Gordon, overseer at Cong-bool Station, Balmoral, when removing some rails to get a rabbit, was bitten twice on the thumb by a snake. Everything possible was done, and the child was at once brought to Harrow- to Dr Potts. He seemed to recover, but became worse this afternoon and died.
