spread with lightning rapidity all
over Maui. This fable of horrors
was to the effect that at Lahaina
one japanese had murdered anoth-
er-cut him into pieces,-placed
them in bag, and conveyed this
frightful burden to a private bury
ing ground belonging to the Tread
way family. The true details Of
the murder are as follows:
During the first part of the week
Sunday probably, two Japanese
wrangled and fought la fisticuffs,
just makai of the Lahaina prison,
in the presence of a number
of native children. The strong
er man furnishing the weaker
one too severely, caused the
latter to flee down the road and
take refuge in the Treadway burial
ground, above the Wainee church.
The children gave up pursuing the
pair after following them for some
distance. In the graveyard, it is
said, another tussle ensued and the
stronger Jap killed his more puny
antagonist with a stone. The muir
derer Immediately took to his heels
and tried to make his escape up
Kauaula valley.
In the the meantime the children
having probably followed slowly
after and caught sight of the body
of the murdered man, Immediately
spread the news. Soon afterward
the police caught the guilty man
and lodged him in jail. Sheriff
Chillingswerth spent several days
at Lahaina in investigating the
case.
The story runs that the victim Of
the affair was most unpopular
among his fellows, who, it is re-
ported, rather sympathized with
the guilty party and tried to OBJ
tain a horse to assist him to escape
across the mountain and thence by
steamer to Honolulu. However he
is at present in lodgings at Lahaina
Jail and his examination is fixed
for the 9th inst.
ENTERTAINMENT AT PAIA.
During Tuesday evening (the
Goth of August,) Railroad square,
at Paia, was the scene of much
movement and hustle, numerous
carriages and saddle-horses lined
the adjacent fences and hitching-
posts, and train of cars stood
near by, having brought its living
freight from Wailuku, Kahului,
and Spreckelsville, the occasion of
all this excitement was an enter
tainment given by the Makawao
Ladies' Aid Society in the long
spacious depot of the Kahului
railroad company. The interior OF
the lengthy structure had been
transformed into a bower ornate
with green's, bunting and flowers.
