KIWI'S FATE SETTLED
Our Own Correspondent.
To Be Donated To Museum At Napier
From
WAIPUKURAU, This Day. Hawke's Bay's museum at Napier is to have the kiwi discovered a few weeks ago neai the Wakararas by a party of pigr-hunters. After the bird had been mauled by one of the dogs, a member of the party, Mr H. Ferguson, thought it best to kill it, and he brought it back to Waipukurau. It remained in a freezing-chamber pending the decision of the Minister of internal Att'airs as to what was to be done with it. Advice was received recently from the Minister that the kiwi was to be donated to the museum at Napier. It has been forwarded from Waipukurau, and will be stuffed and eventually placed on exhibit. This kiwi is a fine specimen. It is believed that in the Wakarara ranges there are plenty of these birds, although not for many years has one been caught there. It was with deep regret that Mr Ferguson saw fit to kill the kiwi discovered by his party. Had it not been injutod by the dogs, his party - would have liberated it.
