Some excitement was created in Lambton Quay, Wellington, on Thursday morning by the antics of a young -Maori whose exit from one of the swinging doors of the D.I.C. was a more or . lees hurried one. Reaching the street, ho commenced to sprint in a manner which would not have discredited a pro- I fessional runner, and before the stir- i prised passers-by had grasped the situation three members of the drapery firm's , staff had made their appearance, and - had set off in pursuit of the flying na- \ tive. The chase was as exciting as it was unusual, and the King's Wharf was reached before the fugitive was cap- j tured. He was subsequently handed ' over to the police, and charged with ' theft. It is alleged that the arrested man helped himself to a suit case from i the travelling trunk section of the ■ D.I.C, and that when detected dropped i the bag inside the building and ran.
