IN A DAZED CONDITION
CAPT. JOHN Nj KEA TURNS UP
AND TELLS HIS STORY.
Under Il Severe Mental Strain-Found
on Public Thoroughfare--Aslled
About Company G.

Capt. John NJ. Kea, the man reported
missing in Tuesdays Star, has turned
up all right. During the Afternoon
the police were given explicit instruc-
tions to search high and low for him.
The attorney general and deputy mar
shall become greatly worried on ac-
count of the disappearance and were
very apprehensive of serious conse-
quences to the missing. About 4
o'clock, while walking town Mauna-
kea near Hotel street, Officer David
Nahoolewa saw Kea emerge from a
restaurant and jump into hack. He
called out, the hack stopped and Ma
hoolewa got in.
What did Company G do about the
drill last night?' the Captain asked.
Upon being answered that the drill
was a failure and that the men had
waited at the armory for him, the Cap
tain said he was sorry. He then asked
nervously if there was any news.
Nothing more important than
about you. The whole town is eNcit-
ed on your account and all kinds of
rumors are going the rounds"
Don't speak of that" commanded
the officer, placing his hand to his
temple as if suffering from headache
During this conversation the hacl,
was proceeding through Hotel toward
Fort. At Central Union church Ma
hoolewa got out and Kea was driven
directly to his home on punchbowl
An hour later Attorney General Smith
called at his house and remained with
him for some time. Kea is at worl,
today.
To friend the man who has caused
slight sensation gave a part of his
story. He admitted that he was suf
fering from severe mental strair
and was perhaps out of his head
There were no special reasons for his
leaving home. Monday night he was
in hiding in house near KawaiahaC
church. For long time he remained
in dazed condition and hardly knew
what he was doing. He decided to re
main out until he got all right again

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,

for use in the family residence, is the incan,

be safer. A few days ago prominent gen

the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
