A MAN MISSING.

CHRISTCHURwH, Last Night

An old man named Stephen Burgess disappeared somewhat- mysteriously from Kaiapoi this morning. At an early hour he spoke to the caretaker of the public bath, and shook hands with him, wishing him good-bye. This was the last time Mr Burgess was seen. Some time later a walking stick and a pipe, identified as his property, were, found on the suspension footbridge over the river. Near the articles was a fox terrier owned by Mr Burgess. The animal was wet and dirty, as if it had been in the mud of the river. The conclusion come to is that Burgess, who suffered from an internal complaint which had caused him considerable anxiety, regarding which he had told his friends he would rather die than go into the hospital, must have thrown himself into the river. A constable dragged the river during the forenoon, but with no success.
