Napier, Sept. 20. The mysterious disappearance of £'100 worth of diamond rings has been reported to the local police. When Messrs b\ Hayman and Go."s traveller was in Napier on August Otli on one of his periodical visits to the town, he packed those ring's, along' with other articles, in a hag, and then forwarded the package to Palmerston North.

The package was not opened by the traveller between Napier and Pdenheim, and the disappearance of the valuable property thus remains a mystery. Whether it lias been stolen or misplaced is not known, but as the matter is now in the hands of the police, the mystery should soon be solved.
