TWO MEN MISSING.
TARANAKI SEARCHES. ONE A BOROUGH COUNCILLOR. BACTERIOLOGIST'S NOTE. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) NEW PLYMOUTH, this day. Searches for two missing men are proceeding at New Plymouth. Mr. Edgar Carryer, a borough councillor and business man of Stratford, who is semiretired and was living at New Plymouth,
has been missing for a week, and up to 130 men liavo been engaged in an extensive search without result. On Monday evening Mr. Cecil George Dillon, aged 25, who was employed casually in the bacteriological department at the public hospital, left his boarding house without explanation beyond leaving a note for his landlady, saying: "Going farming. May hear from "me later." He left all his clothes except those he was wearing and has not been seen since. His father, living at Fitzroy, has not heard from him. The mother and a sister live at Rotorua and it was thought that he might have gone to them, but a telegram tonight showed that they knew nothing of his movements. Mr. Dillon had been worrying about his temporary position and the morning after he left an offer arrived for employment in bacteriology work.
