RECOVERY OF A LONGLOST BOY
WANGANUI, August 31. A sensational abduction case is on the tapis here. Some two or three, years ago a hoy was kidnapped whilst going home from school, and his father, until a few weeks back, had utterly failed to find where the child had been hidden, though the police throughout the colony had been informed of the case and a reward offered for his recovery. Quite recently the police discovered the missing lad (who is a son of Mr Joseph Soler, a well-known vigneron and winemaker) near Balclutha, and restored him to his father. The latter is taking legal proceedings against those whom he suspects of having kidnapped his child, who, it is thought, was dressed as a girl and sent to various places to defeat the efforts of the police to find him.
