THE DEPUTY MARSHAL.
ARTHUR VI. BROWN, ABLE AIDE TO
THE CHIEF OF POLICE.
Has Made an Enviable Record-Friends
Present Him with n Testimonial
Deserved Recognition.

III the COnQuCl OF the MaISudl >
Office Mr.. Hitchcock has been
singularly blessed in having as an
assistant such an able deputy as
Mr.. Arthur NJ. Brown, whose like
ness is shown here.
Arthur, as his intimates call him,
is a Honolulu boy and received his
education at Punahou from which
institution he was graduated.
H wing shown prediction for
the law his desires were encouraged
and he was sent to the Boston
University Law School from which
he graduated in 1891. Returning
to Honolulu he entered the Office
Judge Hartwell, embarking shortly
afterward as an active practitioner
at the Honolulu bar.
At the time of the overthrow in
1898, Mr.. Brown took the side for
good government and became
active among the citizen soldiery
and was given command Of a squad
of men, on guard at the Judiciary
building. When it became neces-
sary for transfer of arms and
ammunition from the police station
to the Government buildings on
King street Mr.. Brown volunteered
his services in the undertaking and
accomplished satisfactory results.
In recognition of his services during
those tempestuous times he was
proffered and accepted the Office of
Deputy Marshal of the Republic,
an Office which he has so satisfac-
torily filled.
Since taking the position Mr..
Brown has had rather thrilling ex-
perience with men used to handling
guns. Some time ago, when the
Government decided to bring in
some lepers who were hiding near
Eva, Mr.. Brown and Capt. Parker
went out for the purpose of carrying
out the law. After coralling the
men the officers were fired upon
and had narrow escape from
death. During the recent outbreak
he lead the officers to Bertlemann' S
house and while standing on the
veranda the rebels opened fire and
Mr.. Brown once more experienced
the decidedly unpleasant sensation
of having bullets whistle in rather
close proximity to his head; his es-
cape on this occasion suggests his
being born under lucky star.
Practically Mr.. Brown was at the
front during the revolution from
start to finish; with Captain Parker
he lead the native police across the
mountains between Nuuanu and
Palolo, and largely to their efforts
were due the important captures
resulting from that raid. Mr..
Brown has the confidence of his
men, they will follow him when
ever called upon no matter how
great danger may be connected
with the undertaking, He is mod.
est and retiring in his demeanor
ever ready to give credit to his men
when deserving and always declin
ing to accept any Tor himself. TC
this may be attributed the fact thai
but little mention has been made
of Mr.. Browns acts OF bravery dur
ing the revolution by the loca
press.
TO show their appreciation of hi:
services as an officer, number o
Mr.. Browns friends presented hin
today with handsome gold watcl
and chain. This pleasant happen
ing took place at the offices of thu
Safe Deposit Company. Mr.. Free
Lowrey, with a few appropriate
remarks, handed the watch to tn
Deputy Marshal. The Inscription
is as follows: Presented to Arthu
