WANGANUI, This day.

Thorpe, engaged on the survey of a snb-division of the Mnrimotn block were stopped by natives under a chief named Aropeta Hacretntcrangi. When they came back to where the tent was left on Friday morning they found everything gone, tent and all, and on search being made it was found that they had been taken by the chief, who refused to give up possesion unless the survey is abandoned. Mr Thorpe has sent a messenger down to apply to the Government for assistance, and application will also be made to the police. No violence is reported.
