THE MULE BUCKED
Young Native Sustains
Injuries About Head.
Went to Town and Had a Good
Time Stopped on His
Second Trip.

During the past few days there has
been a perfect epidemic of accidents,
which is another proof of the saying:
1T never rains, but it pours." There
were two added to the list yesterday,
but the most serious of these was the
one in which Kalamatha, young ma
tive, was thrown from his mule and
sustained injuries which will keep him
indoors for some time to come
The young native has been in the
employ of A. Montana as a stableman
for the past five or six months, and dur
ing that time has been the very best of
laborers.
On Sunday he said he wanted to go
down town, and, saddling his mule,
rode off, probably with visions of a
good time filling his mind.
On Monday morning he was not at
his post, where he should have been at
) o'clock, but nothing was thought of
this, as he might have been sick.
At about l o'clock yesterday after
Manoa School House on his way to
town. He was plainly under the in
fiuence of liquor. He had nearly
reached the Montana home, on the
lower road, when his mule bucked with
him, and he was thrown off into the
road, alighting on his head. He lay I'M
conscious for some time. A telephone
message was sent from Woodlawn
Dairy to the police station, there be-
ing no instrument at the Montana
home. The police wagon was sent out
as soon as possible. In the meantime
the Woodlawn Dairy wagon carried
him down as far as the dairy, the po-
lice wagon finishing the journey to
the Queens Hospital.
Upon examination of his wounds, al
though painful and ugly, were found of
not necessarily dangerous nature.
There is no fracture of the skull, as at
first reported.

SAVAGE GAYHEAD MAN.
Tries to Settle Harry Evans for
All Time to Come.

Tries to Settle Harry Evans for
All Time to Come.
There was trouble in the wind Sat
urday afternoon when one of the boat
steerers of the whaling bark Gayhead,
which has been lowering off port for
several days past, attempted to knock
down Harry Evans. The affair hap
pened in this manner:
A boat with the chief officer and six
men came in from the Gayhead Satur-
day morning. When the Captain went
down to the Oceanic wharf he gave the
boat steerer in question leave to go up
town for short time to purchase some
clothes. Two hours went by, and the
man had not put in an appearance.
The Captain got tired of waiting, and
sent Harry Evans on a hunt after the
man. After flying about town to the
various haunts of deserters, the boat
steerer was found hidden away in one
of the uptown saloons.
Evans took him in hand and marched
him down to the Oceanic wharf. In
the meantime the prisoner had made
an attempt to bride him. Upon getting
close to their destination the boat
steerer told Evans to let him go. He
said he would go along quietly. In
accordance with this Evans did let
him go, and the man kept his word
until he got on the wharf. When
near the boat he made pass at Ev-
ans, who avoided the blow and gave
the boat steerer a right-hander in re-
turn. His antagonist grasped a boat
hook and threw it with such precision
as to strike Evans in the right leg,
making quite wound. Then he made
a jump at Evans, but Port Surveyor
Stratemeyer and Guard Kanuha
stopped his further progress effectual-
ly. The Captain then took him in hand
and dealt him several hard blows,
which served their purpose well.
