The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1888-10-09

We PEKsUME that very few people in
Honolulu have an idea that systematic
cattle thieving is carried on in these
islands. Yet it is fact and the ranch
owners suffer considerable loss by the
deeds of depreciation Of these rAscals. To
deal with such men in the western part
Of the United States IS very simple
matter: it Is either settled by means OF 3
rope and the bough OF convenient tree
or by the swift and thoroughly efieetuAl
method Of rife bullet. But such sum
mary methods are not fzyorably looked
upon in this enlightened little Kingdom
and the rzncher has TO do the best he
csn BY proper legal means It Is not
only the large rsncher that suffers. The
native who owns from SIX to dozen
cattle gets COW occasionally carried of.
If the cattle litter is found out by the
small nan, he can always square" him
by paying the cost Of the animal. Oh
course this Is eompounding felony, but
the cattle man cannot afford to throw
away the chance OF recovering the value
OF his beast; his purse is not large
enough to sacrifice coin for the sake OF
public advantage or public morality and
50, As lar Is ne Is concerned, the cattle
thief hiss merry time Of II
But what does the cattle thief do with
the animal stolen? He used to jerk the
beef OF else dip It in brine and then he
would calmly paddle the article al over
the district and no one would say him
nzy. On this line, however. the present
Legislature has made an attempt TO put
= step to this BY amending section l Of
chapter IL Of the Session Laws Of 1882.
That reads: The Minister Of Interior
my zi any tine license, for the term Of
ols year, any applicant to slaughter and
sell beef either In land here follow

upon receiving f0r such license the sum
