the second degree and Judge Kalua
sentenced them to 10 years imprison-
ment at hard labor, the full extent of
the law The attorneys for the defense
were Messrs. Neumann and Chilling
worth. The case will probably be taken
to the Supreme Court, inasmuch as the
ton for new trial.
There were two or three civil cases.
One for trespass and another a GRIM
inal conviction, and tomorrow will,
perhaps, see the end of the famous
Enos land case, in which the attorneys

Apropos of racing, last Saturday,

sisting of towels. handkerchiefs,
shirts, pieces of calico, ETC., were

Another miniature Japanese-Chines
war was threatened at HamakuapOka
plantation on the 10th. While cutting
cane in the field, the Chinese working
one row and the Japanese another,
side by side, a Chinese peTsistently in
vaded Japanese territory, and a son
of Toxic, after demonstrating in vain,
struck the son Of Hong Kong over the
forehead and across the back of the
head with a stick of cane. They they
were separated, but the Chinese gang
threatened the Japanese with dire
punishment after work. Trouble was
averted by the use of diplomacy on the
part of the police and plantation au-
thorities Strange to remark, the Jap
anese caused the arrest of the battered
Chinese.
