31st, Engineer Andrew Walsh, OF
the Waikiki plantation railroad,
who had charge OF the engine at
the time of the recent accident at
Waihee, was examined before Judge
Kalua at the Wailuku court house.
A. n. Kapoikai appeared for the
defendant and Deputy Attorney
General E. P. Dole represented the
prosecution. After two days OF
examination, Judge Kalua COM
mitted Walsh for manslaughter, to
be tried during the February term
of the First Circuit Court at Homo
lulu. 1t will be recollected that
the victim of the Waihee railroad
accident was Kaanana, native
fireman employed on the engine
which jumped the track.
On the 25th ultimo, G. Rodick, a
representative of H. Hackfeld q
Co., closed the store of Bow Kee, a
well-known Chinese merchant OF
Paia. The debt which caused the
trouble amounted to $52O.85.
The farmers of Kula are to have
a free landing at Kihei, on the
southern coast of Maui, not far dis
tant from Maalaea. 1t is declared
to be the best landing on the isl.
and. as it is we'll sheltered and the
water is deep quite close to the
sand-beach. A. M. Sproul has re-
Gently surveyed the place and
found from 19 to % feet of water
at an average of 500 feet from the
shore, and from 9 to IL feet at an
average of forty feet from the shore.
Tt is stated that the owners are
willing to deed the property to the
Government in case the latter is
willing to assist in building a
wharf. etc. 1t is surely not bad
policy for the Government to own
a landing or two on each OF the
principal islands.
