Prendeville’s farm, South Makara, since last Tuesday. The search was unsuccessful. A close search was made of all that part of the country which was thought worth searching in such a manner, but it is possible that Mr. Oliver walked further' afield, his footprints having been found five miles west of the farm. The missing man was employed as a farm hand bv Mr. Prendeville. He is a returned soldier about 48 years.of age, with brown hair going grey, blue eyes and is sft. 7in. tall.
