Tllero was ■ a comedy-drama performance at Papawai, according -to the "Wairarapa Daily News," over the ownership of, tlu'ee small stacks of oaten sheaf ,in .all -10 tons. A Maori had been around Greytown of late and obtained credit at most of .the stores, telling tho proprietors that lie would pay when ho got these stacks cut. Credit amounting to about £100 was given him, one man going so far as,to trust him to tho extent of about £35. Meanwhile the Native doparted for 'Wangamii, so a creditor sent- tho chaff cutter to do the necessary; cutting. Just as ono of the men was loadjng uphis sharo of the . grain a mob of Maoris cams .on the scone, claimed the stacks, and ordered the driver of tho cart to put out tho chaff or they would pitch him, horse atid. cart, out of the paddock. The creditor didn't feel inclined to unload the goods, so a Native got up on tho cart, and did the work.: Then; a Native woman came along and claimed half the chaff, because her son' had'acted as "crow" vmeri the stacks were erected. -Further developments are anticipated.
