Nukualofa, July 2.

A EUROPEAN planter shot and woun ded in the leg a male half-caste whom he had caught in a love tryst with his native wife close to his plantation to day. The planter, apparently, scared the guilty couple. His wife grabbed the gun, with the result that the discharge lodged in the man’s leg. It is stated that the planter had known of the affair for some time and had warned the half-caste to keep away.
