Tangago, the Chippewas, came from the
north and pitched their tepees on the mol III
shore Of the lake. They had reason to le-
lieve that the Sioux were encamped on the
southern shore, and they planned to cross
their traditional enemies. The Sioux had
a similar thought and design, and each
tribe proceeded to exterminate the other.
They met in about the middle of the lake
and fought, and all were lost. The time is
not fixed except that the incident marks
an epoch in the history of both tribes
Another battle was fought afterward on
the south shore between other contingents
Of those respective tribes. The Chippewas
came in canoes from the north as before.
This was in 1867. The Chippewa warriors
were all slain but one man, who returned
badly wounded and riddled. The fatalities
connected with the lake and the apparitions
gave rise to the name Minnewaukan, or
spirit water, mysterious water, haunted
water, fated water, and finally to DEVILS
lake as the only English equivalent Tor the
Indian idea as expressed in Minnewaukan.
The Chippewas came here in canoes. The
Sioux also used canoes With but few
portages, the former could easily at that
time, while the lake was SO far above its
present level, come from Lake Superior to
DEVILS lake. Since the fatalities related
those Indians have a superstitious dread of
canoes. Young people are getting over the
dread, but old Indians will wade to their
waist fishing while boats are within reach,
but won't dare enter.-Minneapolis Trib-
une.

A KILLING ON MAUI.
IINAMAN DONE TO DEATH, sun
DAY. THE fTH INST.
His Skull Beaten In--Native Confesses
Guilt-DetaiIs of AN Unusually
bloody Crime.

WA1LUKU, April I3th-One OF
the most horrible tragedies in the
history of Maui occurred at Kama
ole, Kula, on the afternoon of Sun
day, the 9TH inst, Hook Ngee, a
Chinaman, in the employ of S.
Ahmi having been brutally MUIR
dered.
On Monday afternoon Sheriff
Andrews was notified that the body
of Hook Ngee had been found in
cluster Of prickly pear bushes
near Ahmi's house at Kamaole.
The body of the unfortunate China
man presented every evidence of a
desperate struggle, and the blows
which killed him must have been
terrific. There were several holes
in the mans skull of considerable
depth zone penetrating from below
the left eye five inches downward
into the throat. Parts of the skull
had been completely jammed into
the brain, the neck was broken and
showed plain marks Of lasso hav-
ing been tightened around. The
top of the unfortunate victim s
head showed numerous ugly gashes
which were undoubtedly caused
through the body having been
dragged over considerable dist
ance of road covered with lava
rocks.
A deep pool of blood was dis
covered about 900 yards from the
place where the body was found
near which was also picked up a
trigger guard of a shotgun, plainly
indicating that this was the spot
where the brutal deed was COM
mitted. The broken stock of gun
was found near the gate of Ahmi's
premises. Information was given
Sheriff Andrews which led to the
detection and arrest of the murderer,
native namad Kukelemai, like
wise in the employ of Ahmi.
1t appears that there had existed
considerable ill-felling between the
native and his victim, and on Sun
day afternoon Kukelamai went to
the house of Ahmi in the latter's
absence and procured a shotgun,
claiming that Ahmi had sent him
for the same. Kuhelemai, after
his arrest made partial confession
to his employer, stating that he had
met the Chinaman on the road and
uarreled with him about some
money matters which resulted in
Hook Ngees assaulting him where
upon he struck the Chinaman
with the gun, breaking the stock,
and when his victim tried to escape
he chased him and killed him with
one blow of the gun barrel. But
to make perfectly sure that his vic
tim should be really dead, he in
flicted series of powerful blows on
his head with the butt end of the
barrel, and thereupon fastened his
lasso around the dead mans neck
and with his horse dragged him a
considerable distance into some
bushes.
The horses name and thigh and
the left side of the murderer's pants
were found thickly covered with
gore, he evidently having tried to
lift the body onto his horse.
Kuhelemai pointed out to the
officers the hiding place of the gun
barrel, which was likewise covered
with blood.

PEPEEKEO March 2S, 1875.
Messrs Honolulu Iron Works Co.-DEAR
5IRs We have used the Crusher since the
beginning of the season and have had no
trouble or hitch whatever with it or the
engine.
The Crusher is extracting 40 per cent. TO 70
per cent. OF the juice beside cutting the cane
in pieces five TO six inches long and giving a
perfect, even and steady feed to the three
roller mill. We are doing ~ TO q per cent
more Nork per day and could do much more IL
our boiling house capacity would permit We
are saving the labor of six men on the cane
carrier every day.
Everything about the Crusher works
smooth and easy, and the amount of steam
Consumed is trifiing, AS you may judge, for We
are running two engines for the three mills
and have cam to spare for the iling House
from e 6x2O foot boiler. OF coui Sc with this
even feed of crushed cane from the crusher
we are enA bed to close down our mill IN ch
more than ever BEFORE and from experiments
OF drying The trash, there was only ~ to % per
cent. of moisture left In It..
Our run of grinding ordinarily Is from -

fourteen hours.

SHREDDER.

One OF these Shredders has

and Mr.. Andrew Moore, the
manager, writes concerning ii
PAAUHAU PLANTATION Co,
HAMAKUA, Jan. 10, 1895.
VIM q. IRWIN ~ Co., LTD, HONOLULU
GENTLEMEN-The mill has been running dur.
ing the past two weeks, with the National
Cane Shredder lately installed, giving the
most satisfactory results.
Our mill consists of three sets of two rol
lers, 32 in. dia by " in. long, the shredder
discs being IT, in. long, driven by an
automatic engine IL in. dia. cylinder by ID
in. stroke
The Rattoon cane being milled is as hard
as 1t is possible for cane to be, having been
subjected to a severe drought during the
whole period of its growth, and growing on
land with trade wind exposure. Our ex-
perience with the Shredder, particularly with
above cane, proves it to be just what our
mills required, the shredded cane being better
prepared to have its juice extracted than for
merly after passing through the first mill.
The first mill is now allowed to open y-16 in.
instead of x in. as formerly, so that the trash
now leaves the first mill, better ground, than
it formerly did the second, and this without
the old timed groaning, choking, and strain
ing of the machinery.
Behind the first and second mills we apply
hot water, the quantity for the past ~ days,
as per statement attached, has averaged 35
per cent on the total juice from the cane.
The trash from the last mill is cut up much
finer than before the Shredder was applied
mi ch of it resembling saw dust, it contains
as per statement 39 per cent. of moisture and
makes good fuel, the juice from the last mill
stands . degrees Brix., SO that the moisture
in the trash is of 3 per cent sugar solution.
The Boilers make steam much easier than
before, now care has to be taken to keep them
from blowing Off whereas before great care
was necessary to keep the steam from going
too low when the Pan was on.
By the use of the Shredder we have dis
pensed with six men, formerly necessary to
distribute the cane on the carrier, feed the
first mill, and throw back the long pieces
The Shredder Machinery is a good sub
stantial joo. and should cause little or no
trouble. as it is subjected to but light strains
You will see that by applying the Shred
der, our work in all departments has been
very materially mproved-obtaining a
better extraction at less expense than former
ly. The great Improvement in our steam,
causes much satisfaction to those engaged in
the Mill.
Yours Respectfully,
A. MOORE.

KEKAHA PLANTATION, March q, 1896.
Messrs. Honolulu Iron Works Co., DEAR
SIHs: We have been WORKING the kraj jewski
Or sher since the beginning OF October 1894,
without DELAY and with the mos sat sfactory
results from the start. our daily work has
increased from 90 CHARTERS to - CHARTERS 600
gallonsl with the same number of laborers as
we used before. Since we are using the Crusher
the extraction has increased considerably and
the trash leaves the roller mill ier than
formerly and make excellent fuel. By adding
the 'rusher We apprehended that our steam.
ing capacity might be insufficient. but we find
gether consume less power than did the 3 roll
er mill before alone. The extraction of the
Crusher amounts TO 90 per cent. OF the Juice
and the roller mill receives steady and
regular feed. thereby decreasing the risk OF
breaking the roller shafts.
We can recommend the Krejewski Cane
Crusher as a valuable addition TO "a mill which
sill pay for itself in a short time.-We remain,
yours truly,

PAIA PLANTATION. March 80, 1895.
Honolulu Iron Works CO. GENTLEMEN; We
find the krajewski Crusber advantageous in
the underno'ed items:
Steady and eren feed Of the three roller mill,
thus causing great d, al less strain on the
mill and AT the same time giving us from 3 to
o per cent. better extraction of Juice.
We are at present making Crusher
and explain its construction to any part

There is no other work in the world Of

that the increased extraction of juice
has improved the trash as fuel 30 AS TO
fully make up tor the additional use OF
steam to drive it.
THE CRUShER is strongly built,
the rollers are made of solid steel rings
on the shafts. The pinions are all of
steel and the spurwheel is provided with
segment rim. Its speed is about the
same as the mill rollers, thereby giving
comfort and safety in running. II is so
constructed. that should iron parts, such
AS bolts, car coupling links and pins,
cane knives, etc, go through, it will not
injure any of the parts.
The following are testimonials from
plantations where the crusher at present
is at work:

KRAJEWSKI
CRUSHER


we beg to draw the planters attentlt
the following advantages:
THE CRUSHER will cut the cane
transversely in pieces about 3 inches
long and extract about 80 per cent. of
the Juice arddeliver the crushed cane in
uniform layer to the 3 roller mill.
thereby causing a perfect feed and in-
creased extraction of juice.
THE CRUSHER viii leave the "skin''
on the cane, thereby giving the juice a
better chance to be expelled than if the
cane was ripped open subjecting the
pulp to the hard packing on the returner
bar of the 3 roller mill.
THE CRUSHER will save labor in
handling of the cane, as an irregular
distribution of cane on the carrier will
not materially effect the regular and
even feed to the 3 roller mill.
THE CRUSHER will not require ad-
ditional steam or boiler power as it has
