Sheriff and Police Make Good
Capture of Opium - So
Cial Happenings.

| MAUI, September 4.-Tuesday night,
| King, Captain of Police Kalama and
others captured 10 tins of opium at the
house Of S. All Mi among the cactus of
Kamaole, Kula. An employe of the Po-
| lice Department made a bargain for 10
| tins of opium for $125, and went after
it between II and II p. m. Tuesday
All Mi was away, but another Chi
nese, All See, after locking the purchas-
er in room, went away, and in an
hour returned with the opium. At a
fitting moment the informer lighted a
match as signal, and the waiting po-
lice made rush and captured the Chi
nese in the act of throwing away the
money.
The police also found around the
place quite a number of empty 10 and
20-pound tins, and some colored Ian
terms, which might, under certain cir
cumstances, be most useful in signal
ing vessels at night. All See was ar
rested and will be tried September 9Th
1t is reported that Judge Kepoikai
of Wailuku is an independent candi-
date for the Legislature. Some conjec-
lures are being made as to which one
of the three running on the Union
party ticket will fail of election, mas
much as Kepoikai is one of Maui's
most popular citizens.
1t is probable that the full privilege
allowed by the cumulative ballot sys-
TEN will be exercised in each district,
unless some previous agreement is
made; that is, Hama people will each
vote three times for Kaai, Lahaina
people, three times for Kahaulelio, Ma
kawao, three times for Pogue and Wal
luku, three times for Kepoikai In
this case (Which happened in the cleo
tion of delegates to the last Constitu-
tional Convention) the rivalry between
Kahaulelio and Kepoikai will be keen,
inasmuch as Lahaina and Wailuku
have about the same number of regis
tered voters.
During the evening of the 28th a
most pleasant dancing party was given

Stringed Band.
