hONOhAA: - dA' IL. "a pIOAAihOhl
royalist is in town, but too late to
politically convert Hamakua.
A new store came into existence
suddenly last week, but as it is a
Japanese concern, a short life and
speedy close up is what is expected.
A rumor has reached us that T.
81. Davies & Co., of Honolulu, in
tend to close their store here. The
Paia store is already closed up.
The rain keeps aloft yet, only high
winds are prevailing and at II and
II o'clock during the day, it is al
most a gale. The sea, too, is heav-
lily agitated and is in such a con-
dition that it will keep vessels from
landing their cargoes for a few
days.
A Paauilo man reported the other
day that the Paauilo well is entire
ly finished. 1t reached depth of
228 feet and an abundant supply
of fresh and pure water was struck.
A two-inch pipe is used for the
pumping and it is said will yield
10000 gallons of water in twenty
four hours. A six-inch pipe was
sent for, and upon arrival will take
the place of the two-inch one now
in use.
The Paauilo Star correspondent,
in a late number of that paper,
brags that the Star is the only
paper taken at Paau1lo. Now, that
is not SO, because a person well
posted there states that there are
only two subscribers to that paper,
while the rest all take the ADvER-
TIsER. No doubt the Star is a good
paper, one hundred times better
than that royalist organ, the Bulle-
tin, but the ADVERTISER is the best
of all and can't be beat.
r. A Chinaman was caught smok-
ing opium last week and arrested.
Johnny was found guilty and sem
fenced to pay a fine of $50 and
$3.50 costs, besides a term on the
Volcano road. The last took him
by surprise.
Mr.. w. III. Richard, ex-manager
of the Honokaa plantation, is in
town and intends staying a few
weeks. Reports everything quiet
in Honolulu.
The mail by the Kinau, which
arrived here on Sunday morning,
was small and not important.
Mr.. Otto Rose, Hilo's young and
only tinsmith is in town. While
here he is staying at Sheriff Moa-
nauli's. He reports the roads from
Laupahoehoe towards Hilo in very
bad condition, as consequence of |
the recent wash outs. On the other |
hand, he reports Hamakua roads,
from Ookala to Kukuihaele, as good |
as any in the country.
The following were summoned to
appear in Hilo at the hearing of
the Broadfelt shooting case: DR..
Greenfield, Charles Oleson, as wit
nesses, and Deputy-Sheriff Moana-l
uli. 1t will be remembered that
Broadfelt was an overseer in Kukui-
haele. He had an alteration with
a number of those half-civilized
and quarrelsome beings. They
one and all made for him, with the /
intention of making short work of
it. He shot the foremost, and the
others retreated. The wounded
man had close call to death, but
he lives yet, though pronounced a
cripple. The case had its hearing
last Monday, in Hilo, and the YER
dict, as expected, was mot guilty"
Re and the others all came back
yesterday.
Lala, a notorious native charac-
ter of Kalopa, was brought up on
the 10th, charged with stealing a
watch and chain from Chinaman.
He was tried the same day and
pronounced mot guilty"
There is another Japanese trou-
BILE in Paauilo, but this time it was
only forty or more cowardly Japan
csc after Portuguese lad of about
eighteen summers. The lad had
had an alteration with a Japanese,
which ended in hand to hand
fight, in the end of which the Jap
anese was entirely beaten. The
next day everything went quiet un-
til the evening, when forty or more
Japanese, part of them masked, at
tackled a house where they knew
the boy was. They broke into the
house and found the boy alone.
They at once tried to lay hands on
him, but he punched and kicked
until over twenty of them had got
a fair share. When he saw 1t was
