A young man named CJa-rence Ward, who belongs to the 14th Reinforcements^ was fined 50s and costs (7s) at Pahiatualast week on a charge of using explosives in the in the Mangatainoko River at Hamua for the purpose qf destroying trout. ■ , " As an outcome of an unseemly sceneat the Meeting of the Hastings Borough Council on Thursday evening last, which resulted in Councillor Wade's resigning his - seat, Councillor Maddison sent in his resignation to the Town Clerk on Saturday, and it is\expeoted; that two other councillors will also resign. A resident of Mangaweka, Mr. J. Dawkins, was the victim of a sensational accident on the Cliff-road, as the result of an immense landslide, under towering cliffs, a few hundred yards from the Mangawharikii* Stream. Mr. Dawkins and Mr. V. NetUefold, of Ka.what.au, had been conversing, and just as they parted there was a loud report and a sharp, 'crackling noise as part of the cliff ' began to slip away. Mr. Nettlefold made a Aash and just escaped being- covered by the falling debris. JVTj;. Dawkins, realising that he was exposed to danger of being overwhelmed, took a sensational leap over the river bank, a distance of nearly 40ft. When returning safely after such a risk; he was struck on the head by a falling rook and knocked down again. When the subsidence became apparently settled. Mr. Nettlefold searched for Mr." Dawkins, finding him i.U a semiconscious state. The injured man had received a- serious fraotyre of the skull, which necessitated an operation. Tile slide was one of the largest that lias taken place in this locality for years. The Timaru Harbour Board has decided to lay np ,its dredge for three months as a measure of economy. The saving thus effected is computed at £2000. - There is a greater depth of water in the harbour now than eve;- before, and it, is considered that dredging can very well cease for the period named.
