MISSING TRAPPER
BODY FOUND BY SEARCH PARTY. By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON. May 20. A party of searchers in the Tararua ranges to-day found the dead body of the missing trapper Alfred Young, aged 22, near the Cone. The party was equipped with a portable radio apparatus and communicated with the Wellington police, and a contingent immediately left to examine the body. A party of sixteen is staying out the night and to-morrow morning will take the body to the Cone Hut about two hours’ journey from where the body was discovered. A small party will leave Greytown with two packhorses and proceed to the Cone hut to bring the body to Woodside, near Greytown, where it is expected to arrive late in the afternoon. The Cone is a 3547 feet peak on the saddle between Mount Hector and Mount Reeves. The ridge lies between the Waiohine and Tauherenikau watersheds. The country is difficult for searchers who set out on Saturday with very meagre information.
