Thb employes at a certain flaxmill in the district (says the " Manawatu Times ") awoke one morning to find that their overseer had " done the Pacific slope " with nearly £200 of their wages in his pocket. They could not lay hands on the man himself, but they put together a couple of dummies, effigies of the levanting overseer and his wife, and vented their spleen and anger on these inanimate representatives.
