Some excitement was caused at Thorndon Station about 1 p.m. to-day through a Maori soldier, who returned by the Ruahine, producing a revolver with the evident intention of using it on someone. It is stated that the man was in a half drunken state and made a general nuisance of himself, and that he also used some very objectionable language. He was requested by the station officials to leave the platform, but declined do so, despite the fact that the ties threatened to procure the assistance of the police. The Maori pulled the revolver out of his pocket and stated he [would get someone before anybody got him.
Sergeant Wade and Constable Holmes arrived and disarmed the man, and iremoved him to the police station.
