MYSTERIOUS BEHAVIOUR
SERIOUS ATTACK ON MINERS.
(Per Press Association.) , THAMES, last night. While the. Waiotahi miners wore proceeding home after ceasing woik at. midnight, They were bombarded with stones thrown by six men hidden on the tip-head of another mine. There were several narrow escapes from serious injury. One man was knocked down and had his head injured. Another, named Lovell, was struck in the face and had tho lower -part of his leg injured. It is believed it is broken. He had to be carried homo. The men were warned that they were committing an offence and might do serious damage. They replied with oaths and volleys of stones. No provocation was given. Tho only possiblo explanation is that they were members of an adult tincan band greeting a married couple. The stone-throwing gradually assumed a more serious aspect when the miners appeared on the scene.
