4 kElNN Of TERROR on Maui.

EbfroR BtLtErtN i--BArdly week
has passed during the last two
months but that some enc Of the
residents of Paia or Makawao have
had their houses or places of bust
ness entered by burglars and goods
or jewelry and money stolen, while
many entries have been made and
in some way or another the burglars
have been scared off without obtain
ing anything.
Shoes, hats, knives and other
things have been left behind by the
robbers in their PERCEPTIONS flight,
which would have afforded compe.
tent detective us good clue as he
could wish for in following up and
bringing to justice the offenders;
yet our police seem TO be inadequate
to cope with this alarming evil, and
the burglars, emboldened by their
successes and immunity from ar
rest, carry on their business with
impunity. The evil has become so
great that many of our citizens are
arming themselves in order that they
may be ready at any time to defend
their homes from being plundcred
and perhaps their lives from being
sacrificed. 1t seems that the time
has arrived when the Government
should take this matter IN hand and
inaugurate such measures as shall
effectually protect life and property,
in these out of the way places.
The present police force is no
doubt competent to perform all the
duties required of it upon ordinary
occasions, but if, as is the case now
extraordinary precautlon and watch
fulness is required, a supplemental
force should be added sufficiently
large to enable the deputy sheriff to
detail day and night watch. Unless
heroic measures are soon adopted &c
stop this nefarious business, and in.
sure protection to life and property
blood will he shed and ther
perhaps the Government will awaken
to the necessity of affording its citi
zens protection from unlawful de
predations. CITIZEN.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-The burglars
in Mallawao are getting holder and
holder. Wednesday, morning at 2
O'Clock house was entered at Paia.
A light was burning, and the burglar
coolly entered into the bedroom, and
was plainly seen by the person in
bed, who was lying awake at the
time. He was scared off by dog,
however, and succeeded in esoap-
ing.
This morning, between two and
three, house at Haiku, occupied
by Portuguese, was entered and
all his savings were stolen, amount
ing to over five hundred dollars. If
this is not disgrace to our police,
l should like TO know what is, and
it will come to this, that every citi-
zen will hereafter go armed, and
probably bloodshed be the result.
Under such circumstance eXtraordi
nary measures ought to be taken,
and the authorities must do some
thing, if trouble will be avoided
This has now been going on so long,
that it is high time stopper is put
to it, and the burning question is,
What will be done about it. Il.
