CLAIMS ON COYOTE SCALPS.
Legitimate Demands Aggregate Nearly a
Half Million.
A Matter That Has Been Puzzling
the State Board of Ex-
aminerS.

| There was no meeting of the State
Board of Examiners yesterday, owing
to the absence of Governor Budd and
Attorney General Fitzgerald, and as a
consequence the aggravating question
OF making recommendation concern
ing an appropriation for paying certified
coyote scalp claims is still unsettled.
The Secretary of the board, Mr.. Mark
| ley, has, however, completed his report
on the list of counties which the board
consider doubtful. 1t is brief and to
the point, but brings the matter clearly
within the comprehension of every one,
and lays bare the block over which the
Board of Examiners have been STUN
bling for some time
Secretary of State Brown has con-
tended all along that recommendations
favorable to paying off uncontested
claims, or those to which no doubt ex-
lists of their business should be
made, in order that people who
have acted in good faith will re-
tain their claims and know that the
same will be paid as soon as an appro-
priation for the purpose becomes avail
able. Secretary Markley's report is as
follows:
1.-The Act fixing bounty on coyote
scalps was approved March 81, 1891,
and repealed on January "a, 1895 AS
near as 1 can ascertain the number of
scalps for which claims were approved
by the Supervisors of the various coun-
ties was 92,431, aggregating the sum of
$462, ,155.
THE number Of the unpaid scalps for
which certificates have been issued is
oL,323, aggregating the sum of $2S7 ,615.
In every county organized prior to
that date there was gradual falling off
IN the number of certificates issued in
the year 1893, ais compared with the
number issued in 1892.
In the year 1894 there was large
increase in the number of certificates
issued as compared with 1898, and es-
pecially the last quarter of 1894, and
the twenty-four days in 1895, in the fol-
lowing counties:

Old Rip Van Wink1e went I'D into the
CatSkill mountains to take a little nan
of twenty years or so, and when he
wakened, he found that the "cruel war
was over" the monthly magazines had
fought 1t over the second time and
"blown up" all the officers that had
participated in it. This much is history.
and it is also an historical fact that, dur
ing the same length of time, DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery had become
the most celebrated, as it is the most eff
fective, Liver, Blood and Lulu. Remedy
of the age. In purifying the blood AMI
in all manner of pinples, blotches, erup-
tons, and other skin and scalp diseases,
scrofllous sores and swel1ings, and
kindred ailments, the "Golden Medical
Discovery" manifests the most b0Sifise
curative properties.
Every disorder that can be reached
through the blood, yields to its purifying
qualities. Besides, it builds up s0hoie-
some flesh and strength not merely fat
like filthy Cod liver oil and its nasty
enulsions ~ but solid 12esh.
A scrofulous condition of the blood in
vites catarrh, bronchitis, and consunp-
ton. We're all exposed to the germs of
consumption, grip and nalaria-yet only
NE 1t'eak ones suffer. When you're weak,
tired out, and debilitated, or when pim-
Piles and blotches appear-heed the warn
ing IN time. The Golden Medical Dis
covery " sets all the organs into healthy
acfion--especially the liver, and that's
the point of entrance for these germs.
Ihen II the blood be pure, they'll be
thrown of. There's no risk.

the Golden Medical Discovery that may

may be better for the dealer, because of
paying him better profit but he is not the

i'm THE COURT CIRCLES THE NEW PUMP FOR EVA CULLEN IS ON kauai MRS. ROM " CLAIMS
PRETTY CERTAIN HE LEFT ON
THE BOAT WEDNESDAY.
Police Are on His Trail-Use of Tel
ephone-Figuring on Connections
Deputy Marshal and Detectives.

The police are hot on the trail of
Pat Cullen, the escaped convict of
Oahu prison. Within another twenty
four hours Deputy Marshal Hitchcock
anticipates the receipt of the news
that the fugitive has been captured
on Kauai.
\ clue of Cullen's whereabouts
reached headquarters yesterday after
noon. He had been seen on the Inter
Island wharf late Tuesday afternoon
in company with resident of Homo
lulu who is well known to the police.
He was also seen to board the Waiale-
ale just a few minutes before she
steamed off on her voyage to Kauai.
With this information at hand,
Chief of Detectives David Kapaa was
quick to act. He dispatched one of
his men to Kauai per the James Ma
kee, which left Honolulu early in the
afternoon. The boat was scheduled to
reach Kealia, the Makee sugar plan
tation, last evening. Here the detec-
tive will land and Immediately open
up telephone communication with the
officer at Hanalei and Marshal Brown,
who is at Lihue.
The marshal. accompanied by a po-
liceman, was passenger on the Mi
l<ahala, which left port a few hours
before the Waialeaie. This boat will
touch at NaVilawii. The Waialeale,
on which Cullen took passage, has
three landing places on Kauai-Kali-
hiwai, Kilauea and Hanalei
1t is the general impression at po-
lice headquarters that Cullen will
land at Hanalei. While he had fully
twenty-four hours start on the officer,
this handicap was cut down consid-
erably by the detective getting access
to the telephone at Kealia. 1t is
quite likely that Cullen. should, he
succeed in landing, will make direct
for the home of his wife's family
on Kauai. The Kauai officers will be
asked to watch the residence.
Mr.. Cullen, the old settler, and faith
er Of the escaped man, was seen by an
officer today. He denied having any
knowledge whatever of his sons
whereabouts, Mr. Cullen says that
Pat wrote him for $40 last week, but
he refused to send it. Mrs. Cullen.
however, gave $40 to the mail carrier
TO give her boy, who in town handed
it over to Pats sister, Sarah 1t is
now believed that the girl gave him
the money and that he used it to pay
his passage on the Waialeale.

THERESE WILCOX CONTENDS FOR
a VALUABLE PROPERTY.
May Be mpromise-Co of King
and Alakea- Defective Title-Many
Transfers Made.

The valuable piece of property at
the corner of King and Alakea streets,
now owned by E. II. f. Wolter, is like
ly to be thrown into litigation in the
very near future unless an amicable
agreement is reached between the
present possessor of the land and Mrs.
Robert Wilcox, who claims ownership
of the corner by reason of an alleged
defective title.
The land was originally decided by
the King to Rieves, a kamaaina of Ha-
wall. At the death of Rieves the land
was decided to his six children, so Mrs.
Wilcox contends. Two of these signed
off in favor of third.
The land passed out of the Rieves
family and has been transferred num-
erous times until bought in by Wolter
at a public auction sale. Now Mrs.
Wilcox claims to have proof that the
land never legally passed out of the
Rieves family. Her grandfather was
one of the two who did not come in
for his share of the property. She in
sists that it has been handed down to
her by her ancestors and that Mr..
VOTERS title is defective.
Mrs. Wilcox has retained w. r. Cas-
tie as her attorney and he will insti-
tute suit for the recovery of the prop
erty unless Mr.. Wolter agrees to settle.
l.. \. Thurston is Mr.. VOTERS coun-
sci. 1t is said that the present owner
has shown some inclination to com
promise.
The property is worth about S12, 900.
Mr.. Wolter is erecting a large build
ing on the premises to be known as
the Occidental hotel 1t extends back
half block and has fully fifty feet
front on King. Construction on the
building has been temporarily
stopped by the Government. the claim
being that it is not as nearly fire
proof as it should be.
