BLUFF SENSATION
ACCOUNTANT FOUND UNCONSCIOUS ALLEGEDLY STRUCK ON HEAD. TWO HUNDRED POUNDS TAKEN. (Per Press Association). Invercargill Dec. 1. A sensational affair is reported from Bluff where Arthur Valentine, an accountant to the Harbour Board, was found about 10.30 o’clock lying unconscious in the board’s office with a wound on his head and the sum of approimately £2OO missing, presumably having been taken by the assailant. Mr Valentine states that he was making up the pay-sheets when he received a violent blow from behind and remembered nothing until the police arrived an hour later. At the time of the occurrence most of the Bluff people were on the wharf seeing the new tug Southland off on its first trip to Stewart Island. A detective is investigating.
