A VIOLENT NATIVE.
[BY TELEGRAPH. —PRES"S ASSOCIATION.] Wanganui, Sunday. A Maori named Tere Penia, just released from Wellington gaol, where he had been serving a sentence of three years for horsestealing in this district, took it into his head to jump through a storekeeper's window about half-past ten o'clock last night. In his mad leap he cut himself considerably, and smashed crockery and fixtures in all directions. The storekeeper attempted to seize him, but the Maori threatened to brain him with a saucepan. Finally several people came to the assistance of the storekeeper, and the Maori was overpowered, bound with ropes, and conveyed to the police station.
