HE LOST HIS ARM.
Result of an Order From
a Fellow-Worker.
An Action for Damages in Which a
-. Motion for a Nonsuit Pre-
=. vaiIed-A Sad Case. 49,.

Judge Slack granted nonsuit yester-
day. in the case of MuIlIn VS.. the Califor-
MIA. Horseshoe Company, ana a poor little
boy has nothing in the way of compensa-
ton fer the loss Of an arm while in the ex-
ecntion Of his daily labor. ~. .-
Young Charles Mullin, minor. repre-
sented. in the court by his father. was in
the employ of the horseshoe company
when the accident happened. 1t was on a
busy day in July last year. and Muffin
was. ordered to climb a ladder and adjus;
a belt that had Slipped from a pulley. The
+ belt WAS forty feet long and weighed some
|. fifty four pounds, and tie poor little fell
low~was expected to stand upon the ladder,
and, grasping the belt with all his puny
strength, force 1t iuto position,
II can't do ii; PM scared" urged the
poor little CHAP. "If 60 up. there | know
Ellfail and be hurt"
Blu; the man who acted as his overseer
Insisted that he should obey urders. So
,Mullin, with fear at his heart, started on
mis- periIous journey UP the ladder. He
seized the belt and was forcing ittnto its
place, when somehow bis clothes got
caught in the machinery. which, OF
course, was in action. In an instant the
poor lad was whlried round, and was only
released by his arm being literally torn
from the socket.
For. this injury the company was sued
for $50, geo damages. Meanwhile poor
Mullm lay on his bed of sickness, and
from the day of the accident to The day on
" hch lie appeared in court it is said that
the defendant com pany.expeuded not one
single cent toward alleVlatlug his distress.
And by way of answer TO the complaint
+ ine accident was attributed to the bows
own carelessnesS.
Little Muffin sat in court yesterday and
told his tale In a plain straightforward
manner There was no. disputing the
facts put before the jury. When he had
finished the defendant 5 c0un sci moved for
a nonsuit on the ground that tine man who
ordered Mullln to dOtha work was not one
in. authority, but was merely one of Null
Inns fellow WOrkmen. This lea was sue
cessful, as Judge Slack was compe He'd TO
ackno " ledge that there was no evidence to
show that Mullin had received orders from
one IN power, so that nOusulr must be
granted.
Thus the defendant company came out OF
the suit with fly ing colors scot free, while
the poor boy is left TO mourn the loss of
his arm without one cent to help him
along until be finds some occupation in
which his crippled condition will not inter.
fere with his undertaking,

HAWAIIAN NOTES.
Belief That a Protectorate Will Be
Established.

HONOLULU, Aug. S.-The prevailing and
growing opinion is that the Provisional
