INFORMATION reached the Pass last Sunday
morning that Deputy Sheriff Magoon, OF Maui,
had shot two Portuguese whom he was attempting
to arrest, infiicting slight flesh wounds. There
was another report that four had been shot, one
killed and three badly wounded---one fatally.
From what we hear he was assaulted by number
of Portuguese and had to use his revolver to save
his life. The following letter was received by
Marshal Parke:

kuapoko and knowing you will hear of the afray
which occurred theie to-day in greatly exaggera-
tad torn, write lew lines 70 tell you of it,
1t seems the Deputy Sheriff, Mr. Magoon, had u
warrant for the arrest OF u Portuguese, and they
| had determined he should not be taken So about
III OF them resisted the officers when Mr.. Bosqui,
the luna, went to their assistance, seized the man,
when they made their attack with pitch forks, cane
| knives, &c. Mr.. Magoon threatened them with q
pistol, but with effect. lie finally fired the ball
| Ia very small one) taking effect in the thigh OF
one man, and again this striking the left cheek
| bone of another aud penetrating deeply but
not to the base of the brain. The probability is
that both will recover
| sam Alexander and others there seem to think
the Deputy did only his duty. Excuse haste, IA the
| kiianea Hon il about leaving, and am endeavor-
ing to get this on board With kind regards
