the Kappa court proceedings during the
past week have been centered in the
case of one All Young, Chinese mer-
chant. doing business at Kappa, whom
the police have had under surveil-
lance for some time, in the belief that
he was dealing in dope.
Last week Deputy Sheriff Coney Ell
fected his arrest. He was captured In
tbe act of selling a tin of opium, by
fine aid of stool pigeons, marked money,
etc and placed in Jail to await trial IN
default of $4,000 bail, upon the two
charges of opium in possession and
selling the drug contrary to law.
Attorney ]. A. Magoon, OF Honolulu
was retained by All Yung. The case
was tried before the District Magls-
trate this week. Mr.. Yung was found
guiltv upon the latter count and re-
ceiyed a sentence of six months i'm
nrisonment and fine of $500. Appealed.
Another case of more than ordinary
interest was that of several sporuve
gentlemen from the FloweTy Kingdom,
who were indulging in an innocent
