Chinaman employed on Messrs. Widemann Il
Richardson's plantation had been killed by the

taken into n room, where, as the writer supposes,
he was beaten. As the man had not since been

-; On Wednesday some rascal spent a great
of ingenuity and trouble upon the endeavor
to give some passer-by an ugly tumble. In a
lark part on Nuuanu street, just about opposite
Messrs. Hollister h Co.'S former premises, and
precisely at the point where there is a break in

Those who first came up to the wire were
fortunately walking slowly and took no harm. The
scamp who set up this trap for unwary feet had

either end, but was evidently not quite mp to his
business, or he would have placed his line three
or four inches lower, in which case the slowest
