LOST ON THE HILLS.
CHILD STRAYS PROM HOME. During Friday’s Storm. Considerable excitement and anxiety was displayed amongst residents of Overdale on Friday, when it became known that a little giri, Evelyn Lillcy, aged 11 years, had been missing from home all the previous night. It appears that the child had missed her brother, who works for Mr. Campbell, a neighbouring farmer, during- Thursday, and left for home about six o’clock. As she did not arrive towards dark, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Lilley, instituted a search, which proVed unavailing. Next morning enquiries around the neighbourhood, ar cl in Putaruru, failed to discover any trace of the girl, and the local police organised search parties to scour the country-side. These parties were at work all day, and about four p.m. Evelyn was discovered fast asleep in a shed bordering some trees not far from her home. Though suffering somewhat from exposure to Thursday night’s storm, the little girl is now none the -worse for her untoward experience.
