clause: "Nothlng in this agreement
is 10 be construed as giving the
party of the second part any right
TO impound live stock trespassing on
the said premises until he shall have
fenced the said lot as required by
this agreement.
Rep. Paehaole moved that the
bill be indefinitely postponed. 1t
would be hard on homesteaders.
Noble Baldwin favored the bill, as
it would stimulate holders of home
steads to improve their holdings.
Noble Hind thought it would be a
good law. The homcsteader would
only have to fence his ground before
planting anything.
Noble Won Tempsky was of opin-
ion that without this proposed law
the homesteaders could make good
thing impounding cattle. His neigh
bors would be at his mercy.
Rep. Richard spoke against the
bill in its existing shape.

would create hardship. The cane
fields at Lahaina were not fenced
and if horse shifted the odor i
cost $1.25 a smell.
Noble Widemann thought the Law
would not accomplish its object. 1
the owner had anything planted
there was nothing in this bill to pre-
vent his getting damages, over ant
over, against trespassing animals

The bill passed.
NOZZLE Pua, on suspension OF tn
rules, reported he had presented tn

five samples OF the liquor from til
c deputy sheriff of Lahaina, and h
g read the report of analyses thereC

ing that it was of quality danger
!, GUS to health. The speaker CAV
, several instances of healthy native
on Maui killed by drinking swipes
He sincerely hoped the hon. men

swipes. Wasn't it from his ow
mill2 The hon. member did not al
a tend TO his mill when this was a
a lowed.
Q Noble Walbridge had had simil,
& experience to that of the Introduce

greatly from this illicit manufacture
J, The liquor was very deleteriou
y and he would support the bill.
Noble Won Tempsky asked If Il
