MOTOR CAR IN SCRUB
HONEYMOON COUPLE DISTURBED. AUCKLAND, Jan. 10. (Special to the Times.) Aluch amusement has been caused in a certain Alain Trunk town by the efforts of an amateur detective. As the shades of night were falling, he noticed a car glide into the scrub on the side of a road and be skilfully hidden from sight by a barricade of manuka. Scenting a stolen car and, perhaps, an escaped prisoner from a nearby prison camp the embryo Sherlock Holmes drove hastily some seven miles into Tokaanu and informed the police. A posse was formed, which threw out a screen and surrounded the “stolen” car, calling on the inmates to surrender and come along quietly. Before the annoyed honeymoon ‘ couple had finished their remarks the “detectives” had faded into the night.
