WORK OF A CRANK
PAPER ON G.P.O. WALL. • (Special to "Tribune”) Auckland, Dec. 5. A small sheet of paper pasted outside the General Post Office in Queen street on Saturday morning had remarkable results. It gathered a crowd which grew like a snowball and raised the ire of several people. Evidently the paper was placed there by a crank. It was a copy of a cable sent from Madrid some weeks ago concerning the attack on several nuns by a father who had run amok. The cable message was contradicted several days later as being untrue. While the crowd staggered up the post office steps to read the message, others gathered on the footpath and blocked it- One irate gentleman went for the [wlice and another went for a post offioe official. “It’s someone with a grudge against the Roman Catholics, that’s what it is,” declared one who had strained his neck to see the writing on the wall.
