EKETAHUNA.
(From Our Own Correspondent)
Robert Hewitt, who is now undergoing a sentence of one month for the larceny of a saddle and bridle, will be prosecuted at the expiration of his term on two charges, • one of horse stealing and one of perjury, committed in the case for which he is now in prison. One of our local celebrities is in bad odour just now with 3onie of the gentle sex. It appears that a letter appeared in a paper circulating in the district, casting what is considered unpleasant reflections on one of them. The consequence was that the writer was interviewed publicly by this gentle lady, who, thereupon, used some not altogether polite language to him. A cross action is likely to be the result. The lady ascribes the article to jealousy, the writer being cut out by a nwsher twice his age, and states that she will in retaliation publish the correspondence which has passed between them. He swears that if she does be will prosecute her for the language used to him publicly.
