there to quell any disturbance.

GRAVE ROBBED At HAMA
DEATH OF THOMAS SAFFERY AT
MAKAWAO.
Must Have Permit to Do Any Busi-

3 = ~
Made by Mahager-Whites Scarcer.
Maui, April 1.

MAUI, ADGll
A ghostly grave robbery occurred at
Hama on Tuesday night last. Some two
months ago native woman died
there, and her husband, when he bur-
led her, placed two five dollar gold
pieces on her eyes to keep them shut,
and also deposited sixty dollars in the
coffin with the body. just why he did
this is not known, but he did not take
the pains to bury the coffin very deep.
During last Tuesday night someone
dug the body up ant made away with
the money, not stopping to put the
coffin in the ground again The next
morning it was found by the open
grave, the lid off and some distance
away, and the corpse exposed to view.
The perpetrators are suspected to
have been Japanese, though there is
no definite clue to them.
Tuesday morning at 3 o'clock, at
Makawao, occurred the death of Thos
Saffery. He had been ailing for only
fabout week and the end came very
suddenly. Mr.. Saffery mad been blind
from his youth, and at the time of
his death was about 80 years of age.
Since the death of John Kalama, two
years ago, he had occupied the pulpit
of the Pookele native church at Ma
kawao and was leader of the Sunday
school, and will be greatly missed
there. He leaves quite a large fam
| lily. The funeral took place yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock at the Pookele
church and he was buried in the
church yard DR.. Beckwith delivered
| the funeral sermon and the church
thizers.
| The household effects of G.Gilbus
were sold at auction on Tuesday last
at Kaluanui, Makawao. Mr.. Gilhus
and his family leave on the Mauua
Loa tomorrow for their new home on
Hawaii.
Anyone to do business at Spreckels-
vile or among the camps there, must
now secure permit for the same
from the manager. No one without a
permit is allowed to see anything or
do business there. White men are be-
coming scarcer every week, and Japs
and Portuguese take their places. The
plantation seems to court the danger
the Government would avert.
Mrs. c. II. Dickey goes to Honolulu

a ten days visit with her children.
j. p. Cooke who has been quite i'll
