TIMARU.
This day.
Through the polics not having first obtained a warrant they failed to arrest Jas. Elythe, the commercial traveler Oi Dunedin, out on bail and awaiting trial, charged with embezzling monies belonging to the Albion Brewery Com. pany. The police traced the abseonder to the barquentine. Annie Bow, getting ready to sail for Sydrey. Before the boat reached the vessel the abseonder spied them and took flight to another boat, the Mendoza. On the arrival of the police officers on board that vessel, Blythe went down into the cabin and did not come up again. One policeman went down, but was assaulted by Blythe and the crew, the latter wanting him to show a warrant for the arrest. Shortly, after another boat with private people came off, and the }.:>lice called on them in the Queen's name to assist. They refused, and eventually the police returned ashore to get a proper warrant to arrest Blythe. Before it could be obtained the vessel sailed for Sydney with the abseonder aboard.
At the Temuka police court Eichard Bell, farmer, Geraldme, charged with sheep stealing, was commuted to take his trial at the next Bitting of the Supreme Court at Titnaru.
