A man named Samuel Weir, who was employed on the Roxburgh Amalgamted Sluicing Claim, disappeared mysteriously on Wednesday night. His hat and coat were found alongside the Toviot river next morning. Marks were found indicating that Weir had gone into the river, but footprints also led from the river up to the road. For some days Weir has been rather strange and absent-minded. The river has been dragged without result.
