Mr.. Churchill has been very anxious

kapea and KaiO to Be Sentenced
Next Term.
Kapea and Kaio will have their SEN
tences imposed upon them either at
special term of the Court or at the
next regular term. Judge Perry SO an
nounced Saturday morning when Court
opened. Upapa was given three years
at hard labor for being an accessory
after the fact. 1t was argued by his
counsel that he had no more partici-
patton in the murder of DR.. Smith than
had Rathburn. Judge Perry imposed
the light sentence in response to the
plea for leniency.
Mr.. Robertson argued. in behalf of
his two clients, Kapea and Kaio. that
the statute. did not allow the suspen-
sion of sentence until another term of
Court. Judge Perry decided that the
statute gave him that right. Mr.. Rob-
ertson announced that he would an
peal the case to the Supreme Court.
so there is probability that Kapea
and Kaio will be tried over again.
The suspension of sentence is in ac-
cordance with the statutory limitation
of 48 hours from the time a verdict
for murder is brought in to the time
OF imposition of sentence.

under the boat, looking like a drowned
rat. Upon being asked where Miss
Carol was, he replied that he did not
know BY this time the natives were
running about like wild people and
crying out: .'Auwe, ua make ka wa
hine haole'' 1t did not seem to enter
into the minds of any Of them to try
to right the boat At about this time,
Mr.. Hitchcock and others had arrived
near the place, and Captain Peterson
had recovered himself The boat was
righted and Miss Carol appeared. She
did not seem in the least frightened,
and upon being taken ashore, asked to
be allowed to stand, protesting that
she was perfectly able to do so. The
men who saw the accident, say that if
if had not been for the cool nerve shown
by Miss Carol, she must surely have
perished. The water was shallow at
the place where the boat capsized, and
this enabled her to keep her head
above the water, although under the
boat. Then again. the waves subsided
as the men were working at the boat,
else it would have been an impossible
ity to right it.
Purser Kelly, very weak, got between
two rocks and held himself there until
the proper moment, when he came
from under It might be remarked
here, that it was just year ago this
month that a similar accident happen
ed at the same place. 1t was when
Captain Thompson was master of the
ke Au Hou and Mr.. Kelly purser. The
steamer went to Molokai and boat
capsized and Kelly saved the life of
the captain, who was not able to swim
a stroke. It is stated that he has learn
ed since that time.
Two of the sailors of the capsized
boat were injured, one quite badly
about the, hip. The latter will be laid
up for some time.
AS to the visit to the settlement by
the people taken up on the Noeau
there is not much to be said 1t was
impossible to land until toward noon
However, Attorney General Smith and
one OF two others made flying trip over
to Kalawao while the remainder of the
party cOntended themselves with the
sights they could see close at hand
One mistake was made in the pre-
parations for the trip, and that was the
fact that the sailors aboard the Noeau,
with the exception of one man, who
has had two years experience on the
MokOlii, were men who have never
been to Molokai before They knew
nothing about the landing, and had it
not been for the kamaainas, who stood
on the wharf and directed the move
ments of the boats, there might have
been more accidents than there were
The one man who knew the place, took
his boat in with the greatest of ease,
and did not trouble himself a bit with
the big swells, that seemed to turn up
on every hand.

When Nebraska Was a Lake.

Extensive deposits of ancient vol
canic ash in southwestern Nebraska
have lately been turned to account as
source of pulyerized pumice, which
has become an important article of
commerce. Professor Salisbury Of
ihe University of Chicago, after ex-
amining the localities where the ash
is found. concludes that it was de-
posted in water at a time when that
region OF country was covered by a
lake which is supposed to have existed
late inthe tertiary period, and the
ash is believed to have been borne
thither by winds.
