MEMBERS OF PIG-HUNTING PARTY. SEARCHERS FROM PARAPARAUMU. WELLINGTON, April 1. Three men, whose names are Cameron, Fraser and Earley, of Lower Hutt, are missing in the bush at the back of Paraparaumu. They were members of a party of five pig-hunters and left their companions to descend into a little frequented valley to follow their dogs after pigs. It is understood that the other two men returned to Paekakariki on Sunday night and reported the disappearance of their companions to the postmaster there, who communicated without delay with the police in Wellington. The Otaki and Johnsonville po'lice are searching for the missing men. Other search parties are also out.
