MISSING RABBITER
HIS BODY FOUND. Yesterday morning a musterer from Mt. Nessing station found the hody. of Mr Boyd Thomson, a rabbiter who was lost on the ranges some three weeks ago. Constable Mcintosh, Fairlie, was informed of this, and left in the afternoon to have the body conveyed to Albury, where an inquest will be opened by Mr E. D. Mosley, S.M., tomorrow morning. The body was found- near the top of the Hakataramea range, just off a well-defined footpath over the hills. The search was adjourned a fortnight ago owing to snow, which had fully disappeared two or three days ago. The body was not interfered with, and was well preserved. The musterer who found the.remains reported the matter at once, and a party will go to-day to bring the hody to Albury.
