At Bulolo

From Our Own Correspondent WAU, Dec. 1.

WHEN Bulolo Gold Dredging Ltd’s big motor truck, with men from No. 5 camp, was on its way to the Bulolo cinema, about 7.30 p.m., it struck and instantly killed a resident, Otto Batze.

The truck did not stop. Mr. O. B. Hart, following in his car, found Batze and tried to give assistance, but the man already was dead.

The authorities took a serious view of the matter, owing to certain circum stances, and the truck driver, Sam Moon, has been arrested and sent to Rabaul for trial.
