A Shocking accident TO a Woman and
Baby-A RoyaIist Yarn
Personal Notes.

hAAAkCA, Dec. 1.-The seventy
seven Japanese contract laborer
from Paauilo finished their cour
trials on Saturday, December ID
The first lot were fined So each, an,
the second only $3.50. A nativ
Hawaiian lawyer, recently arrivet
from Maui, defended their case
He made handsome and profit
able business in receiving a lum]
sum of $40 for his services. Ate
their cases were all heard and ever
one had settled his account will
the Government, all of them were
allowed to return to their work.
Mr.. Atkinson, Government schoo,
inspector, arrived here on Monday
December 4th.
Mr.. G. III. White was examined
by board, composed of Messrs
Atkinson, Homer, Estep, etc, foy
misconduct, and was formally dis
missed from his position as teacher
and principal in the Honokaa Gov
eminent School. The school teach
ers now at Honokaa are the follow
ing: Mr.. e. w. Estep, director, and
teacher of the first class; Mrs. r.
G. Estep, teaching the second class /;
Miss Bessie Richard, of the third
class, and the primary class is for
the time being under the charge of
Miss Mary Tavares. 1t is hoped
that the change will benefit the
school, whose affairs since the
principal took charge have been
quite unsettled.
A shocking accident occurred at;
Paauhau on Sunday afternoon,
December 10, about 4 o'clock. The
wife of Portuguese laborer, with
a 10-month-old child, went with
others to view the new well which
is approaching completion. From
the top of the gulch to the bottom
is about two hundred and fifty
feet. She began descending, and
at about twenty feet from the top
she slipped and went rolling down,
together with her child. During
her fall of over two hundred feet
she only uttered one cry ofpain and
anguish. Just few feet only from
the bottom of the gulch did she
part with her precious burden.
Consequently the child escaped
with a few nasty scratches and
cuts. The mother was not so for
tunate, and when picked up was
unconscious both to the world and
her pain.
Mr.. Andrew Moore had the Jap
anese doctor, Kamai, summoned,
and all that medical skill can do
will be done to recover the poor
mangled creature. But nothing
short of miracle will save her.
She has husband, and eight or
nine children, nearly all quite
young.
DR.. Moore has acted towards the
bereaved family with his we'll
known kindness and generosity.
Last week the following story
was current in all Hamakua, and
will show how false reports travel
around the islands. It was stated
that ex-QSeen Liliuokalani, with
Minister Willis, called on Presi-
dent Dole and demanded the
surrender of the Provisional Gov
eminent of Hawaii, but as the
story runs, President Dole refused
to accede to the demand. The
American Minister then called on
Admiral Irwin, and told him to
land his forces, and demand the
surrender of the Government, and
if refused to force it with Amer
lean arms. Admiral Irwin also re-
fused to land any troops for that
purpose, and was consequently
threatened by the American Min
lister. but resolutely and bravely
said that tie troops would be
landed only after he resigned his
most and not before, so long as he
had authority to command them.
IL was also stated that the Provls-
ionaI Government had a force of
lUUO men Ieduy dt IhO AO@'o0 CO
tempt of the American troops to
land. This news, it is alleged,
was telephoned from the Hilo CEN
trail; but upon inquiry at that
place it was said that there was no
foundation for the rumor. How
ever, it caused quite a 1utter
among the royalist ranks of Ha-
makua.
The Lehua arrived at Paauhau
Wednesday morning, but brought
only a small freight and no mail.
Tuesday night Honokaa had a
little sprinkling of rain, hardly
sufficient to quiet the dust, but the
Honokaa homesteaders were more
fortunate they having about three
inches of rain.
Last Sunday three Hawaiians
were arrested by Sam Parker's |
oyerseer, Mr.. Chas. Hall, who fined
them SO each.
Mr.. D. Richard of Hilo arrived
