INNES NOT ARRESTED YET.
The Blairsville People Are Very Determined
to Prosecute Him.


Prof Innes, the Blairsville school princi-
pal is still at large, though the police are
after him and expect to capture him to-day.
Detective Coulson declares his belief that
Innes is being prosecuted, but gentleman
from Blairsville seen last night says the de-
tective is mistaken. Said he:
"a friend of Innes' received letter to-
day from the fugitive, dated at Charters,
in which he asked that the charges against
him of debauching the morals of his pupils
be Withdrawn. But the indignant parents
of the boys who made the astonishing con-
fessions refuse to let the matter drop, and
say they desire above all things that the
professor be arrested. Blairsville people
blame the Pittsburg police for allowing
Innes to escape to Chicago, where they
think he now is. The excitement at Blairs-
vile is great, and former stanch friends of
the professor have abandoned him en-

esting developments are expected.

ADVERSE POSSESSION.

The Supreme Court by Chief JUS
tice Judd has rendered decision in
the case of Kailianu (w.) and Lea
(w.) VS.. Lumai (k) and Kauwe
Ok. }, an action Of ejectment to re-
cover land at Kapaia, Hanamaulu,
Kauai. The verdict for the plain
tiffs, rendered at last term of the
Fourth Judicial Circuit Court, is set
aside and new trial ordered. The
Court holds that "the evidence of
the father of the plaintiffs being that
neither he nor his two daughters were
in possession of the land claimed
from the time of a decision of Cir
cult Judge McBryde (1868) to the
beginning of this action (July, lS9D,
and the defendants showing that
they were in possession during this
period, the verdict of the jury is
manifestly against the evidence. "
Judge Dole files concurring opinion,
holding that plaintiffs had failed to
produce evidence to upset the title
by adverse possession of the defend
ants. A. Rosa for plaintiffs w. O.
Smith for defendants.
