half and | told her l would give her thirty
dollars a year for it and she said no, she
would take fifteen. A great change had
come over her-she could not speak we'll, /
told her companion she was foolish and
went with her to Mr.. Dole, and told him
she was foolish, though we concluded to
take the lease, as it was not of much conse-
quence. Subsequently she came again with
Victor one of the plaintiffs, she appeared
very trembling, said that the defendant was
a bad man and wanted to get the land away
from her and that is the reason she wanted
to sell it.
Subsequently she came again with
Kealakai (k) and wanted to sell the land, |
told him she was foolish and said she
was selling very cheap. By foolish I mean
she was not in her right mind, she was de.
mented | told her if she went and got this
defendant and he said she was in her right
mind, | would by the land. The defendant
was her agent. He claimed to be her agent
and all the %neighbors said he was. She said
she did not want the defendant about her
he was a bad man and wanted to take the
land away from her. This conversation
was in December and she was much worse
than she was in October. 1 did not buy
the land because | thought she could not
give me a good title. About nine months
ago the defendant came to me, and said the
old woman was dead, and had died about
a month after she made the deed. Mr..
Cecil Brown says that at the time of the
Acknowledgements she could not speak, and
that kekuanui whom he swore said she had
paralysis of the tongue. He asked her if she
understood the deed and she nodded her
head. kekuanui confirms the statement
and adds that she aid not appear completely
crazy, and that she died of the same disease
five months afterwards.
The defendant himself was sworn, and
testified that the deed was made because the
deceased was angry with this plaintiff. on
account of her marriage, and further SAYS
that she said | was naaupo, because | would
not allow her to make a deed to me as
told her there would be trouble about it and
further adds. There was no particular
reason for inserting the fifty dollars. / had
given her more thar that in clothing and
food previous to that and | afterwards paid
for the coffin.
By this it is evident that the defendant
himself contemplated a difficulty regarding
this deed, and further that the consideration
money was never paid, and it is further evil
lei from the whole testimony that the de-
PENDANT was an agent of Kalanimea (w) and
that she was not in a state of mind to do
any business whatsoever.
The judgment of the Court is that the
Deed be declared void and is ordered to be
delivered up for cancellation and on the
presentation of a draft and a decree to that
effect it will be signed.

Wonderful Shooting.

The World describes the shooting done by DIR.
Ruth and wife, in New York city, on the 23rd oil
August. Mrs. Ruth began with shooting at glass
balls, and they were shattered in almost every
case with a pistol held sideways there was a
miss or two, but generally every shot told. When
the pistol was inverted, and aim taken below
instead Of above the line of fire there was no
apparent loss in percentage OF hits. When a
ball was hung by a string and set swinging, Mrs.
Ruth stood Is yards of and made a clean break
on her first shot. The rifle was then handled
through the same series Of shots, and the usual
want OF grace with which all women handle guns
was apparent. When the balls were thrown up
in the air, Mrs. Ruth stood q great distance of
and shattered a dozen out OF fifteen, and this
feature, when encored, was equally as good.
While the lady shooter chatted with lady spec
tators, DR.. Ruth began - show his ability as q
snap shot. The sights Of the rife seemed to be
of no special assistance TO him, for when they
were covered by a cord he used the weapon on
balls placed on a stand, and again &C glass spheres
thrown into the air nth wonderful effect. Some
OF the balls were thrown on the ground a dozen
yards Oh, and the Doctor, aiming at the ground
below the ball. would send il spinning mo the
air, and then rapidly unloading and loading his
piece would hit the ball in it's descent. This
double shooting drew out plenty of applause.
Again. when the balls were thrown up. the rife
was given u turn about, after the manner ola
dali-handle. and it fell into position soon enough
TO enable a breaking shot to be made on the ball.
Balls thrown from side to side where il hit,
whether coming coming from right or lett. When
tired of breaking glassware, DIR. Ruth picked up
a fragment of glass, and, stepping of a dozen
PAGES. held it aft in his fingers while Mrs. Ruth,
picking u small-bore rife, took careful aim, and
the glass was shattered into powder. With an
ordinary visiting cnrd held 10 his mouth, and
turned 30 as to show a side, DIR. Ruth permitted
has wife to put several bullets through it,.
Dozens OF other similar ways of testing the quick
ness Of sight and steadiness Of nerve OF the
shooters were improvised, and generally it was
found that anything fred at was hit almost every
time. There was a good attendance, including
several expert shooters. %

Opinaon of Harris. c.. Il

OpsnsO2a OF Harris, G. IL. -s1,s
The facts in this case are, that one Kala.
nimea (w) was seized of a piece of land
situated in Manoa, Island of Oahu, of which
said piece of land she made a deed dated
9th of June, 1873, in favor of tins defen-
dant K~ahelekula Qk). The plaintiff claims
that she is the first cousin of Kalanimea (w)
now deceased, and her heir at law, and that
she had been adopted in due form of law. bv
the said Kalanimea (w). The defendant in
his answer says, that he has heard of this
relationship, but has reason to doubt il.
The petitioner supports the relationship bv
evidence, whilst the defendant adduces no
evidence to disprove it. Defendant admits
the adoption, which is amply proved by the
Reverend Father Hermann Kockmann. So
there is no question that the plaintiff is
heir at law to Kalanimea (wl, who died
about five months after signing the deed
which is the subject of this investigation.
The plaintiff now seeks to set aside this
deed, because she says that at the time of
the signature and for a long time before.
Kalanimea (w) had been of so unsound
mind as not to be able to do business. And
upon this point, Rev. Father Kockmann tes-
titles that in 1878 a great change had come
over the woman, that her tongue was en-
barrassed, and he could not tell whether it
was her speech that she was losing or her
mind /; that she went to live at Manoa with
her kaikunane, that subsequently, she came
to the witness for her papers which she had
left with him. She expressed herself afraid
of her ~kaikunane, who is the defendant
thought he might claim the property or do
something to il; she had not lost her rule of
but left the impression on me that
she was unsound and her tongue was para
USED. II.
MIR. J. Rose t~estifies that in January
1878, he leased half of this land from the
old woman herself. In October, the same
year she came and wanted 10 lease the other
