ELDERLY MAN’S DEATH.
DISCOVERY AIADE BY FRIEND. Per Press Association. INVERCARGILL, April 9. The body of an elderly man named James 1). Aloir, who had apparently been dead for several months, was found to-day in a lonely hut on the Awarua Plains. Air Moil* was a labourer and the occupier of 200 acres of peat swamp land, which he visited only occasionally. His absence occasioned no surprise. He was last seen at Awarua at the beginning of November, when he informed friends that he had secured a good position. The discovery of the body was made by a friend who called to see if he had returned for the holidays. The body was partly dressed, and was in a kneeling position before a couch.
