Inc man ana morse got along very wei
together until they reached the above
mentioned place when difference
arose. The man wanted to 60 and the
horse didn't want 10 60, and here the
friendly relations were rent asunder
The driver tugged and pulled until his
breath came in short gasps; the whip
was swing in the air, coming down on
the animals devoted back until the
arm that used it no longer had strength,
but still the horse did not give in.
Not even the generous and profuse
suggestions made by sympathizing
spectators had the desired effect. AT
last, when hope had almost fled, that
noble son Of man, called policeman,
made an appearance. Getting behind
the wagon to which the horse was at.
tached, he solved the way out of the
trouble by pushing the vehicle, which
bumped against the animals legs caus-
ing him to move. The police are be-
coming useful.
They say that the future Of politi.
cal Hawaii is problem; that the
Myrtes got into difficulties through their
officers; that the financial difficulties OF
the Government can be bridged over
provided the people pay their taxes;
that the men who are paying the most
Of the opium plumber and not getting
the share of the profits; that the hope
of the Police Court lies in the indul-
gence Of the public; that the best citi-
zens are not those are private detractors
of character; that the man who is not
afraid is does not talk two ways; that
the most startling of Developments in
the near future is not to be in the social
line; that the King intends to keep the
poor men out of the races; that the
Fenians are the squarest views in the
field; that the hope of the Myrtle lies
with the Mechanics; that the Mechanics
are the boys whom the PRESS will sup
port; that the making ola spoon oar is
hard to explain to reporter; that the
ciruus is net in Love; that Love is in
1.-THE circus; that the "editor" is the
only fraud in town; that the hope of to-
morrow is forgotten yesterday; that the
men of the pen wW forget; that the
Government people are the most and
best set in town; that the Bulletin is
already sick upon its attack upon Mr.
Jaeger; that the hope Of the fly re
porters lies with the judgment of their
editors; and that artisan we'll boring is
a f.i.ure in Oahu.
Yesterday evening at about half-past
six o'clock, the residents around the
vicinity Of Hotel and Fort streets were
attracted by the furious blowing of a
police whistle. The cause of the alarm
was the sound OF shot being heard
coming from the barber shop close to
Charlie McCarthys cigar store. Special
officer McGiffin was the first
on hand, Immediately followed
by officer Good. Upon their arrival,
the officers found everything in most
cxcitabled state. The German barber
who is employed at the place, made
frantic endeavors to explain, but on &C
count Of his not knowing much Eng
lish made matters worse. 1t was learned
from a party who was in the shop at
the time of the shooting, that the noise
came from a back room. The officers,
headed by Mr.. Good, commenced a
search and found George Vogt the pro-
prietor of the establishment, under the
influence of liquor, fighting away at an
imaginary foe. The appearance of the
police had the effect of bringing him
partly to his senses and he stated in
answer to enquiries, that he was lying
down on the sofa when he heard the
report of some firearm outside the
building; that he did not know who
fired the shot but concluded it was
some Of his enemies who wished to get
him into trouble His actions plainly
indicated some mental disarrangement.
. In one of the rooms the smell of burnt
powder was easily decernable and upon
investigation two-barreled breach
Loading shot gun was found leaning
against the wall. The weapon was still
smoking. No traces whatever as tc
where the shot struck could be found
r 1t is thought that Vogt suffering under
: some halucination, caused by the in
diligence in to many excuses, imagin
ing himself assaulted, grabbed the
gun, and fred it off through the doc
e which was open. Vogt by the time thu
officers were leaving had become yer,
{ abusive with his language, and made
!. so much noise as to compel those il
!. charge to arrest him. He was register
ed at the Station house for drunkenes
and disturbing the peace There is some
, thing exceedingly mysterious connecte,
: with the affair that looks very suspicion
!. and should be thoroughly looked int
2 by the authorities. ss 's
