WAIHI STRIKE.
SENSATIONAL INTIMIDA TION.
Auckland, Oct. 23. Three young men travelling from Te Aroha to Paeroa in a railway carriage were accosted by a*man wearing long streamers of red ribbon, who warned them to keep away from Waihi to save trouble. It is alleged the command was emphasised by the production of a revolver, and the man threatened to shoot one of the young men, a Maori, if he was not a Federationist. The Maori was almost scared to death and asserted that he was not bound for Waihi. When the train reached Paeroa he jumped off the carriage, tore a ribbon from his coat and bolted. The intruder is further stated to have produced a bottle said to contain poison, saying ; “This will do fur me if I am nabbed.” He went on by train to Waihi.
