started to run out and as the sheriff
held on to them and refused to let
60 his grip, he was struck a power

was stunned, but soon recovered
and drew his pistol in time to es-
cape an other blow from the negro,

KILLED WITH A HATCHET,
A Japanese Officer Butchered by
One Of His COuntrymen.
THE KONA TRAGEDY IS CONFIRMED.
Two Japanese Shot, one Fatally. and n
Police Omeer Dangerously Wounded.
Japanese Threaten to Tear Down "A
Jail at Hookena to Release Prisoners.

The steamer w. O.. Hall brought
a confirmation of the news regard
ing the death of the japanese, as
reported in this paper yesterday.
The story was true in the import
ant details, with the exception of
the wounds sustained by the
police officer; he had all the
ribs on the right side fractured,
besides receiving a severe cut un-
der one of his ears. Marshal Hitch
cock received letter from a depu-
ty sheriff stationed on Hawaii,
which gives some additional facts.
1t seems that a native man, who
owned a field of coffee, was in debt
to friend, who in turn accepted
the coffee in payment of his claim.
Finally, a gang of japanese was
sent to pick the berries, but the
native, not knowing they were sent
by the owner, tried to prevent them
from gathering the coffee. His ef-
forts were unsuccessful, however,
and he then went in search of the
police, and finally returned with
three officers, who ordered the men
to surrender and accompany them
to Hookena to answer 10 a charge
of larceny. The policemen tried to
make themselves understood with
out the aid Of an interpreter, but
they made but little headway, as
the japanese refused to leave the
land, and then free fight was in
dulged in by all hands.
During the melee, two Japanese
were shot, one fatally; the other
received ball in one of his should
ers; one policeman had his ribs
fractured, besides receiving a cut
behind an ear After the shooting
took place, the Japanese surren-
dered themselves, and were taken
TO Hookena and locked up. Dur
ing the night about $50 japanese
CDIlFCJ'u OubHlut vi Jit JAN dDh
threatened to tear it down, and, to
quiet the nh, the policemen
freed the imprisoned Japanese.
Sheriff Williams was expected to
reach the scene Of the trouble on
last Thursday, and it is
presumed that he has re-
arrested the men before this.
The policeman, who was injured,
was In dangerous condition at
last accounts the Japanese, who
received n ball in his shoulder, is
not seriously wounded. The man
who was killed was buried ON last
Wedresday.
The Hall brought news Of ani
other tragedy on Hawaii. II took
place on Wednesday night about Z
o'clock at small place in Kona
called Kaapuna. The details are
very meagre, but, from informa-
ton received yesterday, ~ is learned
that - japanese officer, belonging
to the plantation, was killed ny de
serter, who is also a japanese. The
murderer used q bstcbet. He was
not caught, although the police
were hot on his trail.

The Healani's Ball.

At the pavilion at Independence
Park large number attended the
first ball given by the reconstructed
Healani Boat Club. The decoration
committee had worked hard to
make the ballroom beautiful, and
succeeded admirably. The usual
decorations, flags and palms, were
used, and were most artistically
combined. Over the band stand
was the one word, ia large letters,
"Healani." Around the room were
draped the flags of different ma
tiOns, held up by long oars and
palms. Down the center of the
room were n number Of signal
flags.
Supper was served at IL i'm the
large dining-room Of the pavilion.
The music was excellent, ten mem
bers Of the National Band, includ-
ing the Quintette Club, furnishing
it. Dancing was continued until
a late hour.
