They went to the houses of the
healthy natives and drove the iu-
mates all out of their houses on the
beach on the Mana side of Kalalau
valley. After driving out the peace
able inhabitants they resumed their
hunt for the Deputy Sheriff.
In the evening Mr.. Stolz came
down to the village with Paoa, a
leper whom he had arrested at the
house Of Kapahee, another leper
whose wife and adopted daughter
are also lepers. When he arrived
with his prisoner within short dis
lance Of the house of Koolau he dis
covered native hiding behind
rock. He called on this man in am
bush to give himself up. The an
swer was bullet in his body.
The Deputy Sheriff cried out,
"Give my love to my mother" when
he received second bullet and fell,
never speaking another word. The
lepers then held consultation, in
tending to dispose of the body, but
they concluded not to do so, and left
it lying there.
Then the lepers went over to where
the healthy @pers were grouped on
the summit of bluff after being
driven out of their homes. They
told these people that their venge-
ance was appeased-they had killed
the haole and that was all they
wanted. The peaceable natives did
not credit this assurance of the
lepers, feeling sure that they also
wanted revenge on native named
Kamaiwa, for his having harbored
the Deputy Sheriff.
Kamaiwa in the meantime hearing
of the murder of the Deputy Sheriff
crossed the bay in canoe toward
Mana. On landing he procured a
horse and rode to the nearest tele-
phone, by which he notified Sheriff
Geo. N. Wilcox and Deputy Sheriff
w. E. H. Deverill. The Sheriff or
dered Deverill to go round by the
Waialeale and secure the body. This
order the Deputy executed, but, as
there was neither doctor nor coffin
to be found at Mana, the body was
brought to Honolulu by the steamer
in charge of Mr.. Deverill. This &C
ton was rendered the more appro-
pirate from the fact that Mrs. Stolz,
SO suddenly and fearfully widowed,
was on visit to the city.
Mr.. Macy counted thirty-two in
the group of healthy natives on the
beach. The officers on the expedi-
ton with the Deputy Sheriff were
Peter Nowlein, brother of Major S.
Nowlein of Honolulu, and a native
named Penikila (the native name
of Spencer). There were over ten
men and women in the rebel
band of lepers who went out to seek
the life of Mr.. Stolz. They told the
healthy people when they drove
them out that if they returned to
their houses they would be shot.
After they had driven the people
out the lepers went to their houses
and stole everything they could
carry away, including rifles, revol-
vers and ammunition.

untimely end, was about 80 years of
