PAWELKA.
POLICE SCOURING THE MOKAU. (Par Press Association.) Auckland, September 6. Early on Tuesday morning a party of four police arrived at To Kuiti, and, accompanied by Constable Matthew, left immediately for the back blocks in the direction of Mokau. A further party of police arrived yesterday afternoon by express from Auckland, and also left at once in that direction. Many rumours are current in regard to the mission of tiie police. The general opinion is that search is being made for Pawelka. It is hold that it is possible he hit out across the Manawatu country in the direction of Mokau, with the hope of getting away on a timber scow or one of the colliers engaged in the coal trade. It is stated that Pawelka had been seen a few days ago crossing Mount Messenger, in'the direction of Mokau, and this is supposed to bo the information that the police are working on. Advice from Awakmo states that the police interviewed a man who bore a great likeness to Pawelka. It is understood he was the man seen crossing Mount Messenger.
