Ethelbert w. Pearce's barn-yard. up in
Herrick township, seized . tough old
hen, few across the road with her, and
settled down behind arail fence. Biddy
was too heavy for the hawk TO sail away
with, and abe squawked to the full ex-
tent Of her lung power while her broad
winged captor was pinning her to the
ground. The hawk appeared. TO know
that Its actions were being watched, for
every few seconds 1t raised Its head and
peeped between tho rails toward tho
house, where Mr.. Pearce, who had got
his rife the moment the hen thief
dropped behind the fence, was waiting
TO get good shot ut 1t. The old hen
squawked right along, huttered for all
she was worth to free herself from the
hawks big claws, and struggled in the
grass, while the hawk held her down
with apparent ease, glanced through
the fence. and seemed to be afraid to
begin to devour her 30 near the farm
buildings. Twice the hawk made IN
effort to rise with its noisy prey, but tho
old hens weight was evidently several
ounces more than IL had been used TO
handling, and again 1t was forced
70 settle down. Mr.. Pearce had
drawn bead on the spot In the fencc
whore the hawk was and the
next time 1t stuck up Its head
and peeped between the rails, he pulled
the trigger. For moment there was q
lively huttering behind the fence, and

went hmping and squawking toward the
barnyard as though she was scared half

examined It no found that his bullet
had cut tho hawks brain out as nicely

Early In the spring Farmer Lewis L.
Hanley's boys trapped largo male

OUR MAIL SERVICE.

Ile present mail service between
Milford and st George is a fraud,
mildly speaking. There are some
places or parties that may have re-
ceived a benefit from the recent
change of schedule, bat to the
people Of Iron county IL has become
a nuisance. For some time past,
and mp 70 ten days ago, the service
was very good, and reached ST
George within the stipulated time
40 hours. Now change has come
over the scene, and things that were
do not any longer appear.
The whole service seems to be

BY the system which prevailed two
weeks ago, the mail left Milford an
hour or 30 after the arrival of the
train and by proper connections ar
rived In Cedar 10 less THIN "a hours
after II left Milford, it then laid
over here until the next morning
IND wascthen sent on to st. George
II staid here probablylsight hours,
but was delivered at St, George
within the forty hours. Now the

the mail lays over at Milford until
about So clock next morning

next morning ready for 1.-THE st.

we find that the mail between Mil
4f0rd and Cedar has been delayed
nearly twelve hours. And al this
happens, II must be understood,
Notwithstanding the best connect

find 4 response both loud and long

The very best time that can be

NEWSPAPER CONSOLIDATION

: The two native newspapers Kuo-
KoA and PAE alma have been pur-
chased and will hereafter be print
ed, published and conducted by the
Hawaiian Gazette Company. 1t is
several years since the PROPOSAL
was first made to the owners Of
these papers to consolidate under
one management, but the PROPOSE.
ton did not meet the views of those
interested until recently. 1t is be-
lieVed that this change will be for
the advantage of the native popu-
iatlon, which has been called upon
to support two papers where only
one Is really needed, and can serve
the wants of all equally well.
1t is intended to make the new
paper eventually an illustrated
weekly. of the same size as before
and in this way to furnish employ
ment to one or more artists, whose
time can be we'll employed in max
ing picturesque illustrations of our
Island scenery, as we'll as portraits
OF some OF our leading men, all of
which work has now to be exc.
cuted abroad, when it might be re.
tanned here to encourage native
artists and native industry.
Hawaiians are naturally inouisi-
tive, fond of reading the news and
always eager TO learn what other
people are doing and how thew do
it. This is evidenced by the fact
that the two papers now combined
have had regular weekly circuIa.
ton OF about 5000 copies. As AN
advertising medium, with praeti-
caliy the whole native population
as It's circle of readers, nothing of
the kind has ever been before offered
to the advertising public as this
newspaper. Advertisements in
serted In 1t will be laid before every
native reader whose attention is
worth attracting.

In Saturdays Elele appears a
statement over Mr.. Dan. Lyons
name, denying as false the asser.
ton In this paper of March 10th.
that a proposition was made to
the Gazette Co. from the Elele
Co., to share in executing the con-
tract to print the Great Register
job The facts are these: Mr.. F.
d. Hayseiden, who is part if not
principal owner of the Elele plant,
called at the Gazette office on
Saturday, March 21st, in the alb
sence of the manager, and had con-
versatlIn with the foreman of the
job office about this registry work
during which he proposed that
this work be undertaken jointly by
the two offices, remarking that no
office could do the work in the
time specified by the contract.
This conversation took place In
the presence of several persons.
1t IS but charitable to suppose
that Mr.. Lyons was ignorant of
this interview and of the propos,-
ton made by his superior, or he
could never have used language
which no gentleman conversant |
with the facts would do. IF how |
ever, he did know it, and made his
assertion with the full knowledge
OF what had taken place with Mr..
d., his action and language IN this
matter furnish sufficient proof of |
the wisdom of the Gazette Com.
pany in declining to enter into |
any partnership for executing the
work referred to.
The statement made IN the GA
zETTE was correct and no denial of
it made by Mr.. Lyons can affect it's
truth.
