A DESPERATE CHARACTER
WOMAN BOUND ANO GAGGED. ALARM IN HUNTERVILLE DISTRICT. (Per Press Association J Marton, Dec. 11. Great concern has been caused in the Silverhope district, near Hunterville, by the action of a desperate criminal or maniac. The farmhouse of D. Meads was visited at an early hour yesterday morning by a masked man who, however, was frightened away. Later in the morning, when Meads was out on the farm, the man returned and frightened Mrs Meads, who screamed to her busband. The intruder stole a gun and disappeared suddenly; search was fruitless. Again in the evening the man returned while Meads was in the cowshed and bound and gagged Mrs Meads and ransacked the house. The police have organised search parties.
