A SLIPPERY FOOTBALLER.
Invercargill, Mday 16. O'Donnell, the footballer, slipped through the fingers of his creditors after being brought back. It is stated that he was arrested by the bailiff of the Resident Magistrate's Court and brought to town yesterday evening. The Resident Magistrate, Mr McCulloch, was in his room about S p.m., when the bailiff brought O'Donnell in and left him. None of his creditors were present, and after a short interval O'Donnell fol lowed the bailiff, and regained his liberty. It is stated that the magistrate made no remarks to him. O'Donnell went to a station in the outskirts of the town this morning, and took the train for Dunedin. There is some talk of issuing another warrant to bring him back. There is a strong feeling that the Rugby Union should take action by way of appointing substitute for him on Sydney team.
Dukediji, May 17. O'Donnell, the footballer, arrived in town to-night, en route for Wellington. Te Aroha, this day.— Considerable rain fell last night. It was much needed.
