MISSING IN RANGES
SEARCH FOR DEERSTALKER
(P.A.) WANGANUI, April 23. A large party of police and experienced bushmen set out from Waiouru to-day to search for a missing deerstalker, Walter Thomas Hoare, aged about 23, of Lower Hutt. He has been missing in the rugged bushclad Kaimanawa ranges since Sunday, when he set out on a deer-hunting expedition.
Hoare was a member of a party which camped in the ranges about five miles off the desert road, and about 20 miles from Waiouru. Having had experience in deerstalking, he set out alone towards heavy bush country, and had with him a supply of chocolate and raisins, a rifle, and 30 rounds of ammunition.
When he failed to return, the police at Taihape were notified, and Constable R. Gardiner, of Ohakune, organised a search party, which includes Constables A. Adlam, of National Park, and H. Rush, of Taihape.
