MAUI NOTES.

On Saturday, October Sd, Japanese

duelo Plantation. His work was to run
one OF the cars to the building. Some
thing mysterious was judged to be con-

had fallen only about three feet on cane
Trash: DIR. Holmes, of Makawao, was
cailed; and, after a post norton exam
nation, declared death rrust have been

We're the order of the day to Deputy Col
lector Morton, of Makawao, on the birth
of baby-girl.
The most important case tried by Cir
cult Judge Richardson this week at the
Makawao Court House was the Huelo
wood case. Nine Huelo natives were
brought before His Honor for cutting
and taking away wood from the Govern
ment lands at Huelo. The Judge refused
to convict, o ing TO the pres -ntation of
two maps-one by Land Agent D. z. Ell
dredge and the other by Mr.. Turner,
manager of Huelo plantation-showing
different boundary lines. 1t was d dis
pute OF titles and the Court had no juris-
dlctlon. Messrs. kalua, Kaiama, and
Halstead appeared for the defendants.

During Friday, the 9th inst, quite an
excitement was caused in the mauka
part of Makawao District by the report
that the Pookela Church was on fire.
The heat from brush fire in the church
yard caused the shingles of the roof to
smoke, and the plastering of the walls to
peel off. There was no serious damage
done.
On the 9TH inst, the brigantine Con-
suelo, Capt. Jacobsen, sailed from Ka-
hului, after weeks stay in port, for
San Francisco.
We are having very dry weather
again, though Kula is looking more
green than usual at this season. Cane
planting has been stopped for want of
water to irrigate. The roads from Wal
luku to Makawao are very dusty, and a
visit of the Lahaina water cart would be
most welcome.
The wife of Capt. Toomey OF Hama,
died in the Waikiki Hospital, Friday
morning, the 9th inst. Through the
kindness of Sheriff Everett word was
telephoned to Makawao and policeman
dispatched from there at 10 O'Clock A. NJ,
who went overland to carry the news to
the bereaved husband, reaching Hama at
7P. NJ, so that he took the steamer just
leaving for Kahului. and was thus en-
abIed to attend the funeral this (Satur-
day. morning.
The sale of the tools and stock saved
from the fire at Paia on September oath,
which burned the shops of McWilliams
& Simpson, is to take place week from
to-day, October II.
There is quite large party of tourists
doing Haleakala, and the view from the
summit the past few clear days has been
fine.
The roads in the whole Makawao Dis
trict are in better repair than they ever
have been heretofore, and the Road
Board have had good deal OF new
grading done besides. The elections next
February, under the new law, will show
whether the voting public appreciate the
efforts of the Road Board or not.
