HASTINGS.
[own oobbespondeht. - ] Judge Butler will take the case of the "Koau block to-morrow morning at the Native Land Court. This block is near the Ruahines, and is a little over 24,000 acres. A peculiar fire took place early yestermorning near TomoaDa. This was a stack of sheaf oats, unthrashed, the product of twenty acres and worth roughly £WO. It was on Mr Bridgeman's property, and was owned by MrMcCoubiii. The stack was to have been cut up to-day ■by Mr F. Pilcher. There is no traffic near the spot, and the fire is inexplicable. (The stock was insured in the London and Xancaster for £100. The Mayor accompanied Mr A. L. D. Eraser, M.H.R., and Mr Hales to-day to Roy's Hill. In regard to a Sydney telegram which appeared in the Datly Telegraph recently to the effect th»t Mr Adolf Schulz, late Government Viticuiturist, is believed to be in China, it is worthy of note tha* Mr A. Tickner, agent for the Daily Telegraph ab Hastings, was instrumental in persuading him in August last to give a proposal for £500 life assurance to the Mutual Life Association (Arthur B. Gibson, of Napier, district agent). If, therefore, Mr Schulz is a victim of the Pekih massacre his wife and child will "benefit to the extent of £600 at a total cost of £18.
