A Maori named Trafford, at Bull’s, lately stabbed his wife and a man residing near. Soon afterwards he left the pa in the night, caught and saddled his horse, and rode to the edge of the bush, where the horse was found tied up two days afterwards. The Maori, however, has not since been heard of or seen, and it is supposed that he has committed suicide in the bush. A serious accident has occurred to Mr. McLeiah, horse and cattle dealer, well known in Timaru, during the night of Monday, the 12th inst. It appears that his horse ran against one of the wire fences at Mr. Buckley’s, throwing his rider, and hurting him seriously about the head, and it is thought probable that he may lose the use of one of his eyes. Fortunately assistance was at hand.
