A Shocking Accident to a Woman and
Baby-A RoyaIist Yarn
Personal Notes.

HAMAKUA, Dec. 1.-THE seventy.
seven japanese contract laborers
from Paauilo finished their court
trials on Saturday, December I'd.
The first lot were fined So each, and
the second only $3.50. A native
Hawaiian lawyer, recently arrived
from Maui, defended their case.
He made a handsome and profit
! able business in receiving a lump
sum of $40 for his services. After
their cases were all heard and every
one had settled his account with
the Government, all of them were
allowed to return to their work.
Mr.. Atkinson, Government school
inspector, arrived here on Monday,
December 4th.
Mr.. q. b. White was examined
by board, composed of Messrs.
Atkinson, Homer, Estep, etc., for
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 a 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 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
creature. But nothing
short of miracle will save her.
She has a 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. 1t was stated
hat ex-Qzeen Liliuokalani, with
Minister Willis, called on Presi-
lent Dole and demanded the
of the Provisional Gov
eminent of Hawaii, but as the
story runs, President Dole refused
20 accede to the demand. The
American Minister then called on
Admiral Irwin, and told him to
and his forces, and demand the
of the Government, and
f refused to force it with Amer
can arms. Admiral Irwin also re-
used to land any troops for that
and was consequently
by the American Min
ster, but resolutely and bravely
laid that the troops would be ,
anded only after he resigned his
,ost and not before, SO long as he
lad authority to command them.
t was also stated that the Provis-
onal Government had force of
900 men ready at the least at
empt of the American troops to !
and. This news, it is alleged,
7as telephoned from the Hilo CEN
raj but upon inquiry at that
lace it was said that there was no {
for the rumor. How q
yer, it caused quite a f1utter {
