merry judge keeps the ball a-rolling
and will continue to do so until he
and his backers ia Honolulu are
brought up with short turn.
On the 18th instant, says our
correspondent, the virtuous judge
WIS chasing his wife along the
streets Of Wailuku until she finally
was rescued by friends who persu-
AIDED her not to lodge complaint,
and who give her SHELTER during the
day and night.
The other references to the vir-
tuous Circuit Judge OF Maui can be
told in the language of our icorre-
spondent:
The next day two probate cases
were to be heard by His Honor, and
some OF the parties Interested had
to come from long distance to at.
tend court. To their great incon-
venience they were told that the cases
had been put off for day. Either
to spite soms Of the unfortunate liti
gauis or his deserted vile, notably
the latter, he vas next heard OF at
Makawao Female Seminary examiu-
ations dancing around with smother
OF bis numerous lady friepds TO the
horror aud disgust Of the audience.
While tho Circus Judge was away
District Judge Ksleikau undertook
to hear the case OF the People VS.,
G. B. Wel,s, manager Of the Wailuku
Sugar Co, for closing IA public road
some three months sgo, subject
mnch talked OF, and tho actions of
the local authorities freely CON-
mented upon with the usual re-
mark, "W hat are you going to do
about it2 We are the people and the
Waikiki Plantation manager is The
boss"
After The evidence was all in the
judge suggested that the argument
aud decision be deferred until next
morning (the Judge only having re-
turned from Honolulu with his
family that morning). That evening
Boss Wells was seen going to and
coming away from the residence of
the Circus Judge, who in the mean
time had returned from Makawao,
The object Of Mr.. Wells visit was
not supposed to be public property,
but at all events Judge Kaleikau
was telepboned for to come to the
Circuit Judges house, which call
was responded to early next morn.
ing. Why aud wherefor he was
called Of course NO one can tell,
We do not for moment wish to be
understood that the judges visit
was the output OF Mr.. Wells visit
the evening before. Later Judge
Kaleikau came and opened the
court, heard the argument and an.
nounced that he would reserve his
decision for ten days. Auwe! Pehea

As rule when people return from
Honolulu, even though they were
winners at the Kapiolani Park, they
are generally bursted. But in the
judges case it seemed TO be the re-
verse, as he made at least two pay
mems between the time he left the
Circus Judges house and the open
ing of the court.
On the departure of the Claudine
last Saturday, Judge Kalua was at
Kshului to see a friend off, while
there he was running young jag.
On returning to Wailuku he noticed
one Jim Thomas jumping off from
the hack, meanwhile the jag had
n,atured, he called him s. and
was on the warpath Thomas was
not unwilling TO meet him and the
circus Judge called on the police to
rescue him. The town being full of
specials, two appeared and walked
Thomas away, thus saving him from
the chance Of being sentenced to 6
months imprisonment at hard labor
