NO CLUE.
POWELKA STILL AT LARGE. WELLINGTON, Monday. There is still no trace of the prisoner Powslka, who escaped from the Terrace Gaol on Sunday, August 27, and who has now been at liberty 21 days'. The i>olice have not relaxed their vigilance, and are working quietly in various neighborhoods. It looked as though a clue as to Powelka's movements had teen discovered yesterday in Whiteman's Valley, where a cotton singlet was found on which was stencilled a broadarrow, hut this was evidently a practical ioke played bv someone. The stencilling, on close investigation, was quite recently done, and smudged, Moreover, the prison ?rs at Terrace Gaol do not wear this kind ,of singlet, and thus the pc;»ioe are not able in any way to identify *.t with Powells®.
