THE MAORI OUTLAW.
CAPTURED AT LAST. TWO YEARS IN THE BUSH. [Bf TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] GisnoßXK, Wednesday. Nkws was received by the local police today that Hare Matenga had been captured. Matenga is wanted on a charge of stealing a horse about two years ago. Some time since an expedition was sent out to capture him, but was unsuccessful, and the party had a hard time, the weather being very rough. Since Mafcengtt took to the bush after the alleged horse-stealing, ho has been blamed for a number of petty thefts from bush camps. A short time ago Detective Broberg, Constables Skinner and Green, and a man with a knowledge of the district, left town to seek him again. On Monday they left Tahora to inquire into a report that a strange Maori had been seen at Rangiora pa. From there they followed the trail, and came upon Matenga at Harapepe pa, about 80 miles from town. Matenga was taken, and admitted sundry thefts from bush camps.
