Thieving appears to be on the iD-
crease in Hilo, as Messrs. Richardson
q Coon report the loss of some six
thousand shingles from their lumber
yard during the month of June. They
were taken out of lot of 400, 900 that
came down in the brig Hazard on her
last trip to Hilo from the Coast, but
were not missed until the first part of
the present month after the return of
Mr.. Richardson, who has charge of
the lumber department, from Homo
lulu. The probability is they were
taken from the yard, bundle or two
at time, and so were not missed by
those that were around every day.
A reward of twenty-five dollars is
offered for the detention and cOnVic-
ton of the thief or thieves
