PURSUED! CHINESE CHASE A WHITE. LIVELY SENSATION AT OKURA. DOG, A STONE, SOME GLASS, AND TROUBLE. On Sunday afternoon (says the Masterton Age) the Akura road, near to the railway line crossing, was a. scene of considerable excitement. Miami 3lrs J. O'Keefe, of Masterton, were proceeding along Ngamatawa in company- with their young daughter Kathleen ,and Miss O'Keefe, the latter being in the company of Mr T. Home, a recent arrival in New Zealand and nephew of Mr O'Keefe. From statements given to the police by Mr Home, it appears that as the party were passing by the Chinese gardens in the road mentioned a dog came out of the gardens, near "by the hut in 'which the Chinese reside, and commenced to snarl and bark in. a threatening manner, and seemed about to attack Miss O'Keefe. Mr Home then picked up a stone and ■aimed at the animal, but missed the dog, and instead broke a, glass slat in a germinating house in tlie gardens. paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=FS19090601.2.32&cl=search&srpos=38&e=-------100--1----0chinese+masterton--&st=1Feilding Star, Volume III, Issue 893, 1 June 1909, |
