Seeming triies have hanged many
man. Clarke Miller, of Dallas, prob
ably realizes this. Miller was recently
sentenced to the penitentiary for life
for the assassination of Hagan Roberts,
wealthy farmer. Last March
Roberts and his family were sitting
by the tireside in his room when they
were startled by demand to throw
up their hands and by the appearance
OF two masked men. One of the as
sailants fired, striking Roberts, who
died within few hours. AS the man
who fired the shot brought down his
gun peculiar click was recognized
by one OF Roberts's sons, who had
used the same gun few days before.
This click was due to the looseness
of one barrel. Clarke Miller and How
ard Parton were arrested on the charge
of murder. The gun with the pecu-
liar click was found in Miller's posses
sion. He had run to his home, and,
III order to avoid suspicion, had him.
self rammed down two charges into
the gun and had gone out to join in
the search for the murderers. When
the loads were Withdrawn, it was found
that he had neglected to put any pow
der in the gun. Truth is stranger
than detective stories.

Cattle Hold Up q Train.

Cattle Hold Up q Train.
A fight between locomotive and q
wild bull was the spectacle that enter
tanned and delayed the passengers on
Spanish railway train the other day.
Coming around curve between the
stations of Moravel and Canavarel,
near the Portuguese frontier, the en-
gineer saw herd OF wild cattle on the
track ahead. He sounded the whistle
and the surprised cattle-all but one
took to their heels. The one that
remained was huge bull, who low
cred his head and with hoarse below
charged straight at the oncoming en-
gine. The shock killed the bull and
derailed the locomotive.
While the trainmen and passengers
were doing their best to get the en-
gine on track again--so the Spanish
paper says which tells the story-the
herd of savage cattle, having got over
their fright, returned to the fray and
charged the workers, who retired
hastily to the cars, where they barri-
caded themselves. Then veritable
siege began. After the first few mo-
ments of stupefied surprise had passed
the gendarmes, who always accompany
Spanish trains, gathered courage and
commenced an attack with stones upon
their four-footed enemies. In reading
the Spanish journalists spirited ac-
count of the heroism of the military
one becomes lost in maze of conjec-
ture as TO why they did not use their
guns. AT any rate, the battle lasted
two long hours, and toward nightfall
the wild cattle decided to beat re-
treat.
The passengers and the train crew
finally got the locomotive on the rails
again and "cahin-caha" (which is
French for "merrilly') it proceeded
on its way.
Beaten and Whipped by Il Snake.
Homer Rodgers, of Ocala, Fla, who
is about twelve years old, was bitten
and whipped by snake on a recent
night. The boys father has sort of
private $500" and among his collec.
tion ere several large snakes of tue
"White Oak variety. These snakes
are said TO be non-poisonous, and Mr.
Rodgers has allowed them to run at
will. One night, as Homer was en-
tering the front gate, he was struck
several violent blows IN the face by
some object that lashed out in the
dark. Then the boy felt something
twine itself about his arm and begin
to lash him liercely. The boy ran into
the house, screaming with pain and
fright and found monster "White
Oak" snake wrapped about his arm.
The snake was striking the boy in the
face with its fangs and lashing him
about the body with its tail. Mrs.
Rodgers pulled the snake away from
the boy and killed it. The boy had
been bitten in several places about the
face and neck. and the wounds were
bleeding freely. His arm was black
and blue where the snake had twined
itself, and the lashes of the reptiles
tail had striped his body. The boys
face was horribly swollen, but the
doctors said he would recover unless
blood poisoning set In. The snake
was coiled ON one of the cato posts
and sprang on the boy rs he passed.

BRITISH CITIZENS VIEW.
In Duty Bound to Uphold Law and
Order Everywhere.

Mr.. EDITOR lettering to your
article in today's issue, headed
British Citizenship" allow me to
point out that there appears to be
a considerable amount of mis-
apprehension as to the construction
and meaning of the term natural
ization." If I, as a Britisher, come
here with the intention of settling
and take out papers of natural
ization," then I expressly forfeit
and absolve myself of all allegiance
to my fatherland, and explicitly [
swear to cleave to and be faithful
to the land of my adoption, and
therefore ipso facto become an Ha-
waiian citizen, having no further
claim whatsoever upon the land of
ny birth.
But if upon the other hand I wish
during my residence upon the ISL
ands to support law and order and
the powers that be, as any well in
tentioned immigrant landing upon
friendly foreign powers shores
ought to do, then l take the "oath
of allegiance" to support the gov
eminent of the day and uphold its
authority in every way so long as l
remain under its protection, but |
do not thereby become natural
ICED" and still remain

INSPECTION OF JAP LABORERS.
Secretary GOrO Martha Returns
From Official Tour of Hawaii.
Pahala an Exceptional Camp-Japan-
csc In Good Condition There-Sys-
tematio Work OF Manager Walton.

Mr.. Goro Marta, secretary to II.
/. J. Ms Consulate General, who
left April 23d for tour of general
inspection among Japanese labor
ers on plantations in Hawaii, re-
turned by the Hall last Tuesday.
He speaks as follows concerning
his visit:
my first work was to inspect the
Hilo district, which required six
days. I remained in Olaa one
night, At that place there were
fourteen Japanese planters who
have rented land and hired $50
Iaborerg of their own nationality to
carry on the work. There seemed
TO be general satisfaction in that
locality.
From there 1 went to Wainaku
and Papaikou, where everything
vas peaceable among the Japanese.
At Pahala I found one of the
best camps it has been my fortune
10 inspect. Everything was clean
and orderly. The Japanese seemed
to know just what they had to do
and expect. One man was kept
cleaning the quarters all day. At
p. ~. he was required to ring
bell, which signal required that
every light should be extinguished.
The Weakening bell was rung at 4
a. N, and at an hour later every
laborer was supposed to be in lire
for roll call. Pahala is the only
place where this system is in vogue.
The Japanese at that plantation
are in a better condition physi-
cally than any other place on Ha-
vail. This I attribute to the fact |
that not so much rain falls |
there and also to the |
extreme neatness of the camp. |
Mr.. c. NJ. Walton, the new man
ager, has done good, systematic
work during his sojourn there.
"At Naalehu, likewise, every
thing was quiet and general salts
faction seemed to prevail. fhe
rough gang that used to be there
has been subdued by expulsion
from the plantation of from twenty
TO thirty of the ringleaders. G. c.
Hewett has adopted scheme by
which he manages to get all the
work possible out of his Japanese
laborers. In a row side by side
with them a gang of Cinnamon is
set to work. They start evenly,
but so great is the feeling of Jap
anese against Chinese that they
