Special to the ADVERTISER. ]

MAUI, April 13.-About 8 a. M,
Monday morning, the 8th inst, the
body of Chinaman, horribly mutt
lated about the head, was found
among the paninis of Kamaole, Kula,
near the Ulupalakua boundary line.
Sheriff Andrews, who was acting as
deputy of Makawao during the illness
of G.. w. Dickey, Immediately hur-
ried to the vicinity aud began an off,
cial investigation. The victim proved
to be an aged retainer of S. All Mi,
Hook Ngee by name, who, too old for
manual labor was being cared for by
his benefactor until time and circum-
stances favored departure for China.
During Sunday afternoon All Mi
missed his friend, and early Monday
sent out search party. The head of
the murdered man was marred with
many wounds. Over the right eye
was a hole that penetrated to the
brain and under the left eye was an
opening which terminated at the roof
of the mouth. The weapon used was
n breech-lOading double barreled shot
gun, and the blows administered with
the iron-shod butt were of such viO-
lence as to entirely sever the barrels
from the stock.
Late on Tuesday the coroner's jury
declared that Hook Ngee was killed
by Kuhelemai. This native is of
VIGOROUSLY bad character and there is
considerable evidence to show that he
was the author Of the horrible deed
Blood was found upon his lasso and
upon his clothing, and Sunday night
Immediately after the fatal affair, he
fled to Wailuku.
A quarrel arose between the China
man and the native over a request by |
the latter for some tobacco. This |
hardly seems a sufficient motive for |
the crime for which Kuhelemai has |
been arrested. 1t Will be remembered |
that Kaahai, a brother of Kuhelemai, |
was killed at Haiku in 'S9.
One of the finest entertainments
that has ever been given by Maunaolu
Seminary girls, took place last Tues
day evening, the 18th, in the large
ball of that institution. Every num-
Der on the programme merited COM
plimentary mention "Fhe Daisies"
n four scenes, acted in appropriate
costumes of green and white, was
rendered by twelve young
misses. THE. Geurtship of Miles
in seven scenes with a
wedding as "grand finale" created
3 veritable sensation and was received
with much applause. The music,
vocal and instrumental, reflected
much credit upon Miss Kate Watson,
who has charge of that department.
There was large audience in attend
ance, including quite a number of
people from Wailuku, sixteen miles
down the mountain side.
By order of the AttOrney-General
the remaining charges OF bribery
against Young dee are to be tried be-
fore Circuit Judge Kalua. Accord
inglY yesterday, the 18th, the trial
took place and Young Hee was COM
mittted to appear before Jdry some
time in June next. In regard to the
change of judges, the probable modus
0perandi was that the third and other
counts entered before Police Justice
were mol prosd, Young
Hee discharged, then re-arrested and
brought before Judge Kalua to answer
10 a new charge which included evil
lence not as yet offered in court.
Another ten-day trip, this time by
vessel arrived in Kahului yesterday
morning bringing a cargo of general
consigned to Paia store,
G. B Wells and others. The brigau-
tine will have quick dispatch, for she
is expected to sail today with 5000
Bags of Paia and Hamakuapoko sugar.
The steamer Kahului left San Fran
,isco for Kahului on the 4th of April.
At the present time extremely low
prices for staple articles rule on Maui. &
The Paia, Hamakuapoko and kahu- q
III stores are all importing direct s
rom the Coast.
Weather - Nondescript; showers,
trong winds, and a pleasant period
low and then.
