STABBING AFFRAY AT MARTON.
Wellington, Oct. 25.
The Evening Post's Bpecial correß» pondent wires from Palmerston North the following particulars oj a Maori stabbing affair at Marton:—" Ngapae had warned the natives that he would kill any man who took his wife. The threat was evidently aimed at Warina. Notwithstanding this, Warina had the woman away on Thursday, bringing her back to the meeting house on Friday morning. He was sitting there beside her when Ngapae went for him with a shear blade, which he had concealed up his sleeve. Warina put up his left arm to shield himself. The blade entered his arm above the wrist and made its way almost to the elbow. The wound is a hideous gash about three inches long. Warina defended himself with a billet of wood, and then with a gun, Ngapae still attacking him. Eventually the Maoris overpowered Ngapae, and ejected him from the building. The wounded man is in a dangerous condition, and unable to appear in Court.
