SPIRITED AWAY.
IN BROAD DAYLIGHT.
NOT A SPRING CLEANING.
(By Telegraph.—Special to "Star.")
WANGANUI, Tuesday.
Spirited away ill broad daylight. Such was the fate to-day of a large Axminster carpet in the sitting room of the Provincial Hotel, and also of a hearth rug and a bath towel. The housemaid did her usual early rounds of cleaning, and closed the sitting room door. in the morning one of the guests remarked on the bareness of the sitting room and the lateness of the year for spring cleaning. The proprietress was summoned, but could offer no explanation, or guess who had performed the impudent magic daylight transformation, so the local detectives are now engaged on a knotty problem.
