The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-09-11

night, Sept. 3lst, Port Surveyor Yum
waldt, Deputy Sheriff King and some
policemen were on the watch for
opium at Maalaea Bay, having re-
ceived straight tip from Homo
lulu. Upon the arrival of the Kinau
they made discoveries, but no arrests,
until Waikiki was reached.
Then, Manuel Ross, the well-known
livery stable keeper, and All Yick,
hack driver, were apprehended by the
officers of the law, charged with
"oplum in possession" Ross was SUBJ
sequently released upon $1,000 bond.
On Thursday, the 9Th inst, he was
fined by Judge Helekunihi $50 and
costs, and the case was appealed by
his attorney, John Richardson.
The unfortunate part of the episode
is that Ross had been recently mar
ried in Honolulu, and was bringing
his bride home. Fifty-ons tins were
discovered in trunks belonging to
Ross, and thirty tins in box, pre-
sumably the property of the China
man. Yesterday, All Yick was aquit-
ted, as the ownership of the opium
was not proved.
