KILLED BY 4 BOAR.
Kai Chong, Chinese Taro
Planter, BleedS to Death.
Enraged57 Animal Makes 2 Fatal
to RlCe's Paddock.sxGLz2

About a quarter OF a mile above
at a place called Konowai, Kai Chong,
taro planter and hog raiser, was bitten
by boar yesterday forenoon and be-
fore medical assistance could be Sc
cured, was dead. The story as told by
other Cinnamon associated with him
in work is substantially as follows:
On Monday, Kai Chong borrowed a
large black boar from a Japanese and
took him TO his place forthwith. Some
time during the night, the animal
wandered away from the premises up
on the land Of others. Bright and
early, Kai Chong started out in pur-
suit and shortly afterwards found the
boar roofing up the sod under some
cocoanut trees on the premises of ma
tives not more than 600 feet removed.
He started TO drive the animal back
and by dint of poking with a stick
must have so irritated him as to cause
him to turn.
At all events nothing was known of
the matter until cries for help were
heard from the direction of the prem
Uses of the native already indicated.
David Carter went over and there
found the Japanese, the owner of the
boar. The Chinaman was lying on the
ground in pool of blood and was I'M
able to speak a word. With the help
of three Chinese laborers, Carter and
tho Japanese carried the wounded man
to the house where he died inside of a
minutes time.
Upon examination it was found that
the animal has made four wounds COM
pletely through the fleshy part of the
leg about a half way up from the knee.
Examination of the boar's tusks later
explained how easily this could have
been done. They were over two inches
long.
Upon telephoning to the police sta
ton Patrolman Conley went up and
offered what assistance he could.
In the meantime the boar was not
idle Running out into an alley and
| thence to Liliha street, he began chas-
| ing people promiScuously, causing
great terror in the neiborhood.
AS it happened band of cowboys
10 charge of number of polled Angus
cattle, on their way to G. Bolte's home
were passing by. Learning of what the
enraged animal had done, George Holt
threw a lasso, caught and took him to
the paddock of w. H. Rice near by
where he was tied to a fence.
1t is very probable that the boar will
be shot today

Court Notes

Judge Perry is author of a decision
issued out of the Circuit Court yester-
day in the case of the Wilder Steam
ship Company VS.. the brig Lurline,
libel for salvage. The pleadings in the
case are found to justify an award.
Wilder & Co. claimed $4,000. The
Court thinks this amount inequitable
and oppressive and awards to the lib
Giants as salvage the sum of $2,650,
being one-fourth of $4,000, the value
of the property saved. The sum of SIS
is awarded to Pilot Robert English,
and $50 for the six in equal shares.
All costs of the proceedings are charg-
ed to the Lurline. Kinney & Ballou
for libellant; A. S. Hartwell for re-
spondents.
The Supreme Court has affirmed the
decree appealed from in Volney V.

waiian Government. In the syllabus
