GENERAL NEWS The attention of farmers is drawn to the alteration of the date of the Waiareka sale, which will now be held tomorrow (Tuesday) as usual. The present entries comprise rape lambs, wethers, horse and gig, and harness. Some commotion was caused amongst the residents of the north end on Saturday afternoon through the sounding of a siren, many going out expecting to see the fire engine. It appears, however, that the Dunedin aud Waitaki County traffic inspectors (Messrs M’Dowell and Laugh ton) endeavoured to stop a car, the driver of which paid no heed to their signals, causing them to give chase and sound the siren. Eventually the car was brought to a stop at Wise’s store, and was taken in possession by the Dunedin traffic inspector, and brought to the Police Station, being later taken away oy the owner.
