ancp at the lltN'hA tiAh'' ~ 'H't w"
duatv little village Is net only swell
ling into great importance but ia quite
alive with people who have come
from all parts of the island. Con-
spicuoua among this number may be
.oeu the pouderous and venerable
form ~ our respected Judge Austin:
also the iovial couuteuauce Of Gardi-
uer *. Wilder, the Deputy Attorney
General: the sad but still resolute
features of the once redoubtable and
famous V. V. Ashford, besides
ouite number OF lesser legal lights
aud people OF more or legs import
snce.
The meaning of this unusual stir,
OF course, was the meeting Of the
Fourth District Court at the court
house at Honakaa, July 18th.
Now, II il were not for the fact that
an appropriation was made for new
courthouse, should like to say
word i'm regard To the superior accom-
saodations OF the present one, but rs 1T
is will be brief and say ] have no
doubt the people who attend 1t are
thankful they are still alive after pass
inc through such an ordeal. There
were, it is said, fifteen cases on the
docket. but none OF them were OF
very serious nature excepting a Portu
,,ucse criminal assault case To which
the prisoner pleaded guilty and was
sentenced 10 two years imprisonment
nj hard labor. There were several
liouor cases, but il il rather hard To
get a conviction from the fact that
the average juTyman generally has
some sympathy for these people, and
besides they think the Government IL
to blame for not granting them a beer
license. Among the other more Sc
riouS cases was one for receiving
stolen goous. The evidence went TO
prove that there was something :" in
it,'' but the fellow got of. There was
also another assault case, but the evil
deuce that went to prove 1t was TOO
tbin.D There was also n perjury case
in second degree which was proved,
and the defendant got two and-a-hah
wears to- ponder over his maiden at
tempt ut false swearing. or the other
cases, some were postponed until next
time and carried over for some reason
or another.
The closing exercises of the Public
School i'm PaauilO took place last week,
10 the satisfaction of everyone aud To
the astonishmeut of not few. L may
say, the progress made in learning IN
the schools of this district Is some
thing to be proud Of, and credit to
the teachers, scholars, ana, In fact, 10
everybody concerned In the manage
ment of or public schools.
The weather is still dry and dusty,
