that the amount collected has been
made up of small sums, including the

done. The fire was first discovered by

bill of exchange being the property
of j. M. Kippen, lately deceased
in Honolulu, said bill of exchange
having been drawn by G. II.
Dickey, of Makawao, Maui, and
stolen from the late j. NJ. kippen
in Honolulu, on or about Nov. II,

before Kippen died he made com,
plant to the police that he had lost
the cheque. Being detected in
trying to negotiate the document led
to Benefits arrest.
