ton on Maui rythiDg is quiet

rumor is flying about that-J w.
kalua, Esq, Of Waikiki, was offered

count of onerous conditions accom-

Appropos of the raising of the
United States flag over the Govern

The Kokomo Catholic Church was
crowded to suffocation on Sunday,

A rather extraordinary case Of
horse stealing was tried before Dis
trict Magistrate Copp at the Maka-
wac Court, February 4th. The story
is as follows Some time ago Ha-
waiian lost little bay horse branded
PV. Recently, as he was coming
,,oo,,Eo froro pnio ho ouartooE
Japanese riding the aforesaid animal,
and when in the vicinity of Deputy
Sheriff Andrews residence he set up
a yell, seized the celestial and held
him till he was arrested by the pro
per officers. During the trial, evil
dence was forthcoming that the
plaintiff bought the horse from
another Japanese, and this man from
another countryman, and so on till
five of the Mikado's subjects were
concerned in the affair The fifth
man testified that he purchased the
animal from a native in Spreckels-
vile but, strange to relate, the
quadruped delivered to Japanese
number five by the Spreckelsville
man had different brand altogether,
PV had been altered to 63. The
explanation is simple. Chinese and
japanese rarely notice such insignl-
ficant (?) details as brands, and so
Jap No. 1 sold the z V brute, ina
ginning it to be identical with his
horse branded g. The affair was
settled amicably the Japanese
owner got SIS, and the plaintiff kept
possession of the animal
A sure sign of the approach of

freights in liquors per Likelike and
Waimanalo.
