ANOTHER MURDER.
(Bv Telegraph. ) DUNEDIN, June 3. Very few particulars are yet to hand as to the supposed murder at Waitahuna, of James Bradford, by his mate Bobort Waddell. It appears that the deceased and the accused worked together in a claim a mile from anyone else, and it is known that, they did not agree. Bradford had been missed since the 20th ult. A search party was out yesterday looking for him, and his body was found after dark last night in a gully about a chain from where he was last working. There are marks of a violent blow on the side of the head. The body was partly concealed with fern. Waddell has been working at the claim sinco his mate has been missing, but took no active steps to search for him. Mr Eevell opened the enquiry this afternoon, but after identification of the body, an adjournment was made; Dr Withers is conducting the post mortem examination.
