Accidental Drowning.

The Coroner's jury in the case of
Hung Ian, the 14-year-old Chinese girl
found dead in the reservoir on All ms
rice plantation, Kalihi, at about u
noon Monday, sat in the Deputy Mar
shars office yesterday and rendered a
verdict of accidental drowning. Evil
dence was to the effect that Hung Ian
went into the reservoir with another
girl for the purpose of catching
shrimps. After the fishing had gone on
for some time, she told her friend TO
return to the house to take care of the
children. When the latter got back to
the reservoir she found Hung Ian
floating in the water face down. Help
arrived and the body was taken out.
Hung Ian has been here but year
Her mother and father are both in Chi

have been confined to the mountains
in the northern end of the Island. The
plains on either side received very lit
tie of the water, and the Honolulu end
of the Island went dry also.
All along the route the uplands were
fresh and green and vegetation appear
ed to have received a fresh start. There
was very little indication of the rains
on the lowlands except in the streams.
In fording one of these, in particular,
it was necessary for one of the horse
men Of the party to cross 16 times to
transport the baggage. The water came
to the sides of the high horse. In ford
ing with the brake the water reached
nearly to the seat. These heavy show
ers fell at about the time the thunder
storm passed over Maui.

session as Owner

session as Owner.
At an early hour this morning a
mounted patrolman, armed with war
rant. will go into Manoa Valley for the
purpose of arresting Koa. a native, who
has proven by his actions, to have more
than the ordinary amount of calm as
surance."
1t seems that he had for some time
past been living at the home Of Man
uel Rosa, in Manoa. There was diff
ference, and, on Sunday last, Koa was
told he could seek shelter elsewhere.
He turned on Manuel Rosa, who deliv-
cred the message, and a fight was the
result. Later Koa left and went TO the
house of native woman, nearby. The
owner was living in town and had lock-
ed the doors and fastened the windows.
This did not trouble Koa in the least,
so he procured key, opened the front
door, walked in and took possession.
His first act was to smash everything
in sight. Then he opened various
trunks and drawers and helped himself
TO watches, revOlvers and other things.
Part of his plumber he removed to an
other place for safe-keeping. Then
Koa settled down as master of the
house, remaining there until Friday.
On that day the owner of the house
returned and, finding Koa in the house
and everything about the place smash
ed made inquiries in no particularly
good humOr. She threatened the man
with arrest. This seemed to have good
effect, for he went away and returned
with most of his plumber. However
this did not satisfy her, and a warrant
for his arrest was sworn to.

There weeds among trees, just as much as

plant, the use Of which has rot been found out?
When we find that the sunllOWer can be used

were odler looking than a pair that he received

garment which in Boston might have been
called pants" Instead Of appearing ridiculous

garment he wore slowly but surely grew in
