RACING PIGEONS WERE SOLD TO GUN CLUB.
(Special to the “ Star.”) AUCKLAND, March 30. The disappearance of fifteen racing pigeons owned by an Onehunga boy resulted in the arrest of a youth, aged nineteen, on a charge of stealing the pigeons. A constable was sent to Pakuranga, where the Auckland Gun Club was holding a shoot, and he found the stolen birds in a crate. They had been sold to the club and the timely arrival of the constable prevented the birds from being shot. The accused was fined £4, plus 25s costs.
