    3. HBH 1890 APRIL 10 Local News The police authorities at NAPIER yesterday received information of an affray at the AKITEO hotel, which is about midway between DANEVIRKE and HERBERTVILLE, on Monday night, which resulted fatally. Two men named James NOLAN and George LUNN were among others at the Hotel. NOLAN struck LUNN a heavy blow upon the head with a stick, felling him to the ground. LUNN was picked up unconscious, and after lying in that condition for some time he expired. NOLAN in the meanwhile hurriedly cleared out. Information was laid to the constable stationed at HERBERTVILLE, who went on the track of NOLAN, and succeeded in arresting him yesterday at Mr HAMILTON's MANGATORE Station, about eight miles from DANNEVIRKE. Inspector KIELY was informed of the occurrence and he at once wired to his subordinates, and arranged for Colonel HERRICK and Mr HAMILTON to return to HERBERTVILLE and held an inquest there last evening
