luku native, has been in Jail for
week and more, having made a con-
fession concerning the burning OF the
Wailuku plantation Office. His con-
fession, corroborated in many respects
by other testimony, duplicates him
self and a well-Icnown foreign resi-
dent. The foreigner was arrested IN
UIupalakua and brought before the
Waikiki court this week, but the pre-
liminary hearing was postponed until
the 25th instant by request OF his at
torney, John Richardson, who was
compelled to depart to Lahalna on
business connected with the water
case.

was decided by Commissioner Dickin-
son in favor of Mr.. Horner, Lahalna
plantation, and against the native
complainants. Keliikipi remains IN

on $1,000 bail, furnished by w. ID.
