management of Mr.. l.. J. Scott, catcher

manager and expects to get up some
special attractions during Mr.. Smiths
Hilo trip.
1t is understood that the person who
fred two shots the other night in
Thomas Square, which came so near
hitting the driver of the Woodlawn
Dairy, is known to be the Chinaman
who has charge of the square. AS
some of the marshal's officers have ex.
pressed desire to check the unlawful
use Of firearms in Honolulu the Press
gives them this pointer and hopes soon
to publish police record with the
Chinaman's name in it.
A Chnaman had the misfortune to
get in the way of hack, which was
turning the corner of Alakea and Bere-
tania streets yesterday morning. He
was wheeling a hand barrow with big
basket of clothes on it. The hack
struck the wheel barrow and scattered
the contents Of the basket in the street
The Chinaman talked Latin about the
matter loud and long, but to no avail as
the unkind hacknan drove off after
making faces at the washman.
1t is rumored about town that the
new Ice Company is already advancing
rates and making discrimination in
certain cases. Complaints have been
made by several parties at this Office
since the consolidation of the two COM
panies took place. AT that time the
Press was suspicious that higher rates
and determinations would soon follow
the monopoly, and said the consoida-
ton would be good thing-provided
advances did not follow 1t is the old
story.
A gentleman returning to town yester-
day evening from Waikiki, driving a
spirited horse had a narrow escape
from runaway. He was driving along
Beretania street and when nearly OPP
posite the Central Park Skating Rink
portion of the harness broke and the
horse became unmanageable. The
horse had succeeded in backing the
buggy into the sidewalk and was trying
to get away when some gentlemen pas
sing caught him and probably avoided
an accident.
Yesterday morning one of Hebbard's
drays drawn by two horses, and loaded
with the bed of a macerafion mill,
which was being taken to the steamer
Planter for shipment, while passing the
foot of Kaahumanu street became
stalled. The horses were small and
the native driver was whipping them
severely. Mr.. ]. H. Black who was
present threatened to have the driver
arrested if he did not stop his brutal
work. A large pair of horses belong
ing to Mr.. Hebbard were at last sent
down and the dray was pulled away.
Monday evening about eleven O'Clock
word was telephonod to the PRESS
Office that about six o'clock the same
evening general row had occurred at
the immigration Depot between some
natives and the Japs stationed there
since their return from the Paia plan.
tation, but as the report could not be
verified at that late hour it was moi
published. Investigation yesterday
developed the fact that misunder
standing occurred with the Japs who
thought they could fish along the Depot
beach because they saw some natives
fishing there. The natives resented
the interference and the Japs became
defiant and commenced throwing
stones. For awhile it looked as if there
would be trouble, but at last every thing
was quoted down without any body
} being hurt.
