A small boy, who gave his age as going on for eight, was the object of interest at the Rangiora railway station on Monday morning after the arrival of the first train for Cbristohurch. He was bootless very much unwashed, in anything but holiday attire, and evidently astray. Questioned by the Sergear t of Police, he brightly said that he boarded the train at Belfast and was on his way to London.
