A dastardly act was perpetrated at Knottingly Park, Waimate, on Sunday, between the hours of 10.30 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the emu, one of the great attractions of the park to children, was deliberately and cruelly killed, states the Tinferu Herald. The bird was apparently knocked on the head with a stout stick, and the tongue was then cut out by the roots. The bird is valued by the Domain Board at £3O. The matter was immediately placed in the hands of the police. To children visitors to the perk the emu was a frroat favourite. The little ones will miss their old friend greatly.
