The glass in a motor car was shattered by a bullet on the Bluff RoadL between Awarua and Woodend. last week, but it was not an isolated case of hooliganism (states the correspondent of the Southland “News”). On the night of the election a party was returning to Bluff from Invercargill, and when in the vicinity of Awarua, the windshield was shattered by a shower of road metal. The driver of the car immediately stopped and gave chase to four young men. Being a sprinter, he caught them up, and was about to inflict punishment when they pleaded, for mercy. Knowing the parents the motorist let them go on condition that they paid in full for the damage. The prank cost them £6.
