A GROUP GOES TO UTAH.
This article appeared in the Hawkes Bay newspapers on May 9th:
‘Six well-known Maori from Tahoraiti left Dannevirke on their way to Salt Lake City, Utah. Those travellers said that they will not be gone long; after they have visited the main Mormon city they will quickly return. But some of their families are anxious and are saying that perhaps they will not return to New Zealand. It is said that it is costing each of them £500 and their lands have been rented out to people for six months.’
