A hundred ahd fifty head of cattle were landed at Blakeney’s Point, Katikati, last week (states the Waihi Telegraph). The consignment consisted chiefly of stores purchased at Whangarei on behalf of Messrs G. Alley and W. M. Jackson, and was brought over in a scbw. When the vessel arrived off Mercury Bay the weather, accompanied by a heavy sea, became so bad that the scow had to run for shelter and the cows be unloaded. Three days later, with better weather, the consignment was reshipped, and the animals, with the loss of four head, were safely landed at their destination. • / A couple of weeks ago Mr W. J. Evers, traveller for Messrs A., and T. Burt, Ltd., Auckland, was visiting Paeroa and had occasion to leave his suitcase, containing clothing, personal effects, and a war bond for £IOO, on a seat on the Paeroa railway station. Although only absent a short time, when he returned the suitcase was missing. Mr Evers reported his loss to the police,and after investigation Constable McClinchy advised the Thames police of the occurrence with the result that two male members of the Bluebird Vaudeville Co., which was travelling from Waihi to Thames and changed trains at Paeroa, were apprehended and their bedroom at the hotel in which they were staying was searched. The search revealed the missing bag, the contents of which were intact with the exception of a safety razor outfit which they admitted having sold. The accused were brought before the Thames Police Court and were remanded until October 17th.
