The Reputed Desperate Gives Him
self Up Like a Lamb.
The last of the Lanes who took
up arms against the Government
came in quietly last night. Like
that OF all the other reputedly
doughty warriors, his surrender
smashed all surmise to pieces. As
was said OF Wilcox and Nowlein,
that they would die before falling
into the hands OF the Government,
so the talk ran about Lot Lane, only
more of it. He was supposed to
have a small but desperate band
with him, who would make a fight
like that of Koolau, the lone leper
of Kalalau.
Lot Lane came in meek as a mouse
and surprised the authorities. He
came with borrowed clothes on him,
completely crushed in spirit, and
told all about his connection with
the uprising and the downfalling.
After dark he knocked timidly at
the door OF Giovanni Long in Msnoa
valley, and being admitted asked for
food, Mrs. Long is his niece and he
was treated well, but was told that
the house could not harbor rebel.
Lane only wanted to rest brief
space and then he would surrender
himself to the authorities. He was
given clothes to replace his garments
torn to rags in the thorny thickets,
and he was given the luxury OF a
clean shave.
Hauola, foster grandfather OF
Long, barnessed horse to wagon
aud, in company with A, A. Montana,
the collector OF taxes, and Long,
drove Lane to the police station,
where he was closeted for an hour
with the Attorney General and the
Marshal. Although looking weary
he wore slight CLEAN OF satisfaction
in his face, as il glad inwardly that
the whole foolish business was over
Lane had been in the mountains
until last Monday. The previous
Tuesday there had been a stampede
| Of the rebels, and it became case of
everyone for himself and devil take
the hindmost. Lane disclaimed the
honor Of having been a leader. He
said Nowleiu starte,' the movement
and induced Wilcox to go into it and
rally the natives. They hardly knew
for what they were fighting, Lane
early threw his gun away because it
impeded him in climbing the hills,
Coney, a young halt-caste reporter
of the Advertiser, made a tenstrlke
scoop in connection with Lanes sur
render. He was spending the even
ing at Mr.. Montano's and, while he
was playing the either on the
verauda, word came that Lane was
with Long. Coney went straight
for the rebel aud got a good inter
view for his paper with him.
Mr.. Montana had instructed Mr.
Long that il Lot Lane came to his
house he was to notify Montana
who is a special officer Immediately
When Long came to him with the
information that Lane was there
Montana had gone To- bed to take
needed rest after hard service. Hau
ola was well aware of the danger o
harboring q rebel, and did all h,
could to expedite Lanes delivery az
to the Marshal. Mrs. Patrick Ian,
was at the Long homestead wher
her brother-in. law came there.
The secret OF Lanes surrender wa.
well kept by Mr.. Montana all tn,
way to the station. Geo. II. DAVIS
who had been relieved from guar
duty, asked for a ride iuto town il
the wagon. His request was grant
ed and, after being seated, he spok,
about Lane, saying he hoped h'
would soon be- captured so that tn,
trouble would be over. He did no
, know that Lane was riding into tow
, in the same vehicle with himself
When challenged by the sentries tn
, reply OF Montana was invariably
Special officer Montana an,
/ friends" He even took Lane througI
3 the receiving station and upstairs T.
, the MarshaPs Office without reveal
ing the identity Of his prisoner. Al
5 irving in the presence OF the Maj
: shall, Mr.. Montana fairly paralyze,
. everybody present with the speech
\ "Mr. Marshal, allow me to present I
| you Lot Lane, prisoner Of war"
