This man stated that Powelka was going in the direction of Mokau, and a man resembling Powelka was interviewed at Awuluno without result. The police, however, arc said to still hnvo every reason to believe in tbo accuracy of' the roadman's report, as a strange man is raid to be lurking round the bush camps up the Mokau Kivor. Much of the country in Hie Mokau disIrict is in a wild state, and, once a livo gets in (here, some difficulty will naturally be experienced in hunting him down.
