THE MISSING INDIAN TWENTY-SIX POLICE LAKE STILL BEING DRAGGED [B? telegraph—OWN correspondent] KAWHIA. Sunday Now in its tenth week, the police search for the body of tho missing Indian, Dalu Desai, aged 42 years, continues. The complement of 26 at tho police camp at tho lakeside is divided between dragging Lako Taharoa and combing the sandhills. Two motor-boats manned by seven men are covering tho lake, and tho remainder are devoting their attention to the sandhills. Sheets of corrugated iron blown from whares and sheds at tho settlement are scattered over tho paddocks. They tell of the extremely high winds which of recent weeks have swept over tho district and made conditions very unpleasant for tho search party. It is understood that when Bhagvanji Desai, Dalu's fellow countryman, returned" to tho store yesterday after an absence of six weeks, he found that tho building had been broken into and certain goods stolen. After ho had inspected the premises, Bhagvanji left Taharoa last night.
