Mr. G. W. Stephens yesterday received a cablegram from a friend in London intimating that his brother in law Pte. W. Andrewrtha had been killed in action in France. Private Andrewartha whose parents reside at Burnie was a prominent member of the Wanderers Football Club while at the Burnie Athletic Club's sports on New- Year's Day, 1915, he annexed the mile race. He had also resided at Hobart and Dunorlan and prior to going into camp a little over 12 months ago was married to Miss Stephens of Dunorlan. Mrs. Andrewartha is living with her parents at the latter place.
