clothes and other articles from some
of the houses he visited.
On Wednesday last one Of the
town police was sent out into the
country to arrest u japanese, on q
charge of distlllng, The arrest was
made all right, but on tue way back,
when in the Honomu gulch, he was
set upon by large gang of Japs,
and the prisoner was rescued from
the hands of the constable, and he
was mauled and his clothes stripped
off from his back. A few OF the
Japs were identified, aud will be
arrestep soon. 1t looks as though
we are going to have trouble with
our laps. From all parts of the
Islands we hear of trouble with
them on the plantations. By the
last papers from Honolulu we see
that there will be no more Japs sent
to this country, very soon. After
all we've DO better class of import
| ed labor than the much decried Chi
| nose.
We hear that the police of Hama
kua have discovered the ''lair" Of y
"branch" of the secret society,
whose headquarters are at Honolulu,
and whose object is the overthrow
of the present rule. We hear also
that they captured the roll" of
the names of all persons belonging
10 said society, as well as the NEW
constitution" TO be promulgated
when the right time comes, as well
as other important documents. Now
if there is q branch in Hamakua,
why is thcre-not one in Hilo?
The picnic at Cocoanut Island
last Wednesday passed off finely.
A small but choice company was
gathered there, and everything, a
fine clear day and a cool fresh breeze
from off the ocean, plenty to eat,
and spirit of good fellowship, all
consplred to make all who were
there enjoy the occasion. After
the newly white-washed house, with
its new table and benches, the new
spring board, with the cemented
rocks around IL, and the neat little
sanded walk up 10 the house were
all inspected, number of the
young folks proceeded to try the
springhoard, and many were the
funny tumhles to be witnessed by
the onlookers as the young ladies
essayed for the first time to dive Of
a spring board. After the bather
had finished their bath the table wa
taken out onto the sward, under th'
lauhala trees, and the lunch spread
thereon. Coffee prepared by Mrs
Hitchcock was in great demand
) After the lunch the ladies passed
vote of thanks to the gentlemen VIII
had worked SO hard TO bring our lii
tie seaside retreat into decent prde
, again. One thing remains and tina
is a water tank, and we hear that
gentleman from one of our neares
plantations has offered large cas-
for the purpose. We hope that tn
Sheriff will see to it that no yandal
are allowed to break into the house
. and destroy what has cost 4 goo
deal of both time and money, to PIT
T., in order.
We are glad TO welcome back
