| MAUI, May 2S.-Ine Walluku jury
term will begin on Wednesday. June
I'd. with the native jury on duty. The
most important case on the calendar is
! that of the alleged murderers OF the
Japanese Interpreter of SpreckeIsville.
The three natives accused of the
murder of the Chinese storekeeper at
Kamalo, Molokai, will be tried in Ho-
nolulu in August, instead of in Wailu-
ku in June, in order to give the de
PENDANTS more time to arrange their
case.
Apropos of the Molokai affair, a
stone as large as ones head was used
TO crush the poor "pake's" skull. This
blOOd-stained piece of evidence is at
present in Pukoo Court House, much
to the horror of the jailer's wife, who
after dark is in constant terror lest this
relic of the murder will burst through
the thin partition into the next apart
ment, which is occupied by the care
taker Of the Jail. 1t is said that night
times some of the residents run their
horses furiously past the scene of the
late murder.
During the last four or five months
several acres of cane have been plant
ed on Lanai. This cane, which is irri-

rumored) will return with Fred Hay
selden about the 1st of June. Rumor
