Police Force.

HAWAII, May "a A Japanese
laborer lost the most of his right
hand by being Caught in some of
the machinery of the steam plows
at Paauhau on Thursday of last
week. Carelessness on his part is
said to be the cause.
DR.. Greenfield has been laid up
for some days with inhamatory
rheumatism of the knee.
Hamakua has just had its an
nual visitation of the book agent.
Business being dull, he gave up the
chase at Honokaa and left for
Honolulu by the Claudine.
Thus far, the Hamakua Jail is
the only house prepared to enter
tain guests that will attend the
sitting of the circuit court in July
at this place. Some effort should
be made on the part of our people
to place all corners at as good
advantage as possible. We can
certainly do as well by them
as Waimea formerly did, but I'M
less we "get a move on" we will
not. 1t is stated that the docket
is rather large, and that will bring
many people as jurors, witnesses,
attorneys, etc.
1t is strongly rumored that the
end of the month will witness a
number of changes in the makeup
of the police force of this district.
1t may be well to suggest to the
powers in control of this depart
ment, that they discharge the entire
force, and only employ one man in
the future. Where the plantations
pay their own police, one man and
the deputy sheriff is all the force
needed to do the work that is being
done in this district now. There is
room for quite a saving here, and
no corresponding detriment to the
service.
Louis Longfeld left for Homo
lulu by the last trip of the Clau-
dine from Paauhau. He was closed
out of the "Honokaa Dew Drop" on
a judgment in favor of Peacock &
Co. for $3.50. He has had quite a
career in this place, purchasing it
some two and a half years ago for
$500 cash, did fair business for
a while, was caught in the general
drag-net of the police and fined
5000, and next came into notice at
the time Fred Kingcomb died from
over indulgence of drink. At that
time he was induced to sign an
agreement to quit selling,
which he afterwards refused
to live up to. For some
reason the power of the police
could never again be got to work |
against him, so the citizens had no
recourse but to resort to a system
attic course of freeze-out," which
resulted as above stated. Adieu, |
Louis and may we never see your
face again.
1t has been very dry and dusty
here for more than a month past,
with a strong wind blowing to keep
the dust. moving. Quite a good
rain fell this morning to help out
little. 1t is to be hoped more will
iollow soon and often.
Miss Mullinger returned home
rom Honolulu by this trip of the
