LARGE BOAR KILLED
(0.C.) HAMILTON, Tuesday A large boar, equipped with danger-ous-looking tusks, was killed by Messrs. T. Senior, A. Senior and G. Delaney, of Frankton, on the Pirongia mountain slopes during the week end. The hunters received a complaint from a Pirongia farmer that the boar had destroyed sheep and lambs and had killed five pig dogs. Accompanied by several dogs, the hunters located the boar and a fierce fight between it and the dogs ensued. One dug was killed and another severely wounded before Mr. A. Senior killed the boar with his gun.
