KEALIA. Kauai, June 5.-Interest in
the Kapaa court proceedings during the
mast week have been centered in the
case Of one All Young, Chinese mer-
chant. doing business at Kapaa, whom
the police have had under suryeil-
lance for some time, in the belief that
he was dealing in dope.
Last week Deputy Sheriff Coney eff
fected his arrest. He was captured In
the act of selling a tin OF opium, by
the 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 Magis-
trate this week. Mr.. Yung was found
guilty upon the latter count and re-
ceived a sentence of six months i'm
prisonment and fine of $500. Appealed.
Another case of more than ordinary
interest was that of several sportive
gentlemen from the Flowery Kingdom,
who were indulging in an innocent
game of che ia the other evening They
did not notice the intrusion OF po-
Tceman. The exponent of law and or
der invited them to accompany him
as far as the Kappa Jail. They deferred
and seemed rather reluctant to comply,
but they changed their minds and went
and they went quickly, too. The man
ner of their going was unique. The
DoIicemen have such persuasive ways
about them 1t is usually irresistible
and proved so in this instance. They
generally carry the persuador in belt
about their waist, but this fellow hung
his in a coil upon the pommel of his
saddle. and this is the way he man

tened together in pairs, like brogans,
