{" EMPIRE 3" SOLD.
-" Larry" I'll. De Takes Manage.
ment of the Place.

Larry H. Dee has become manager
of the old-established Empire Saloon,
corner of Nuuanu and Hotel streets.
1t is understood Mr. Dee and associates
have purchased from James Olds the
land and building for $4,000 and that
Mr.. Olds retains an interest in the
business.
The renovation of the Empire will
begin today and will not cease for
some time. The whole interior is to be
changed and greatly improved. In
time a second story will be added to
the building. The billiard hall in the
rear will be discontinued and a cafe
put in its place. The fine collection of
old pictures will be cleaned and re-
framed. Mr.. Dee will carry the best
class of goods and is determined to
build up a good trade. He has been
in the saloon business here before and
was successful and had good repu-
tation.
The Empire is one of the oldest sa-
looms in Honolulu. 1t was a frame
building at the time of the big fire and
was burned down. The present brick
structure was then put up. In the
early days, Mr.. Olds had music in
the place. Of late years he has taken
no active part in the management,
spending nearly all of his time at his
country place on the other side of the
Island.

Chas GOodale. brother of Warren Good
ale OF Papaikou. was manager. He
did eXcellently here and was with the
company five or six years His first
offer to leave Mr.. GOodale was a pro-
position for him to take chage OF a
big mine in British Columbia. He
found that the locality in which the
property was situated was not a
healthy one and for the time declined
to leave Butte.
1t was only in the fall of last year
the young Mr.. Whitney was induced to
take the position which led him to his
sad and untimely fate. The Helena
Frisco Co, made him a flattering offer
and he went to their property at Wal
lace, Idaho. This is a very wild coun-
try. The young man was liked per-
sonally, but he was part Of manager
ial policy that was detested by the
miners and plotted against by the dis
turbance leaders After a characteris-
tic and noble fight on the part of Fred.
Whitney for what he thought was
right and duty, the end came as told in
the dispatch.
Fred. D. Whitney had hundreds of
warm friends here. All of these will
be severely shocked and will mourn
for the boy who won their hearts by
his uniform manly demeanor
When Mr.. H. M. Whitney made his
trip to the States a few months ago
he went TO Butte to visit his son and
was there informed for the first time
that the young man had gone to Idaho
Mr.. H. NJ. Whitney was compelled to
continue eastward and returning direct
to San Francisco came back to the
Islands without seeing the boy.

Canyon creek. As on a similar occa-
sion the truth of the matter is hard
to obtain, discreet silence being gen
orally observed, but the story, as far
as can be learned, is about as follows:
About o'clock last night between 10
and 20 masked men, heavily armed,
opened the door where Whitney and
Weimar, respectively foreman of the
concentrator and assayer for the He
lena-Frisco, were roomi9B, promptly
ordering Weimar to turn his face to
the wall. He only caught one glimpse
of the party and his companion cannot
talk, so the number is not known. no
one else being known to have seen
them. They took Whitney out and
marched him through Gem to near
Fahey'S stable, near the lower end of
town. What occurred then is not
known, but he was probably ordered
to head toward Wallace, that being the
customary practice. The mob COM
menced firing, parties in the vicinity
estimating so to Is shots altogether,
but evidently mainly to frighten either
Whitney or the people in the neighbOr-
hood, as only one shot struck him. It
passed through the right thigh from
behind. He was left where he fell until
later man coming up the track saw
him and reported in town that either
dead or wounded man was near the
lower end Of town.
Norman Ebbley Immediately offered
to go after him, his companions vainly
trying to dissuade hm, fearing an at
tempt at succOr would mean more vic
Tins. Ebbley started alone. He met
Peter Bernier, who accompanied him.
They took the wounded man UP town
| from whence he was brought here to
the hospital, arriving shortly after mid
night.
Whitney had only been at the mine
| a short time, but was not popular with
| the men. Together with Superintend-
ent Petty he was supposed to repre-
| sent the foreign owners in the mine
and, too many discharges following
| their arrival, an attempt was made tC
run him out with Petty a few weeks
ago. That time when the regulators
went to his room they found him with
seven companions and five guns. with
which they successfully stood off the
mob.
On the 9th inst, the leg as am

had been performed The large thigt

Frederick D. Whitney was an Island
boy. He was the youngest son of H
NJ. Whitney. brother of Harry Whitney
of Irwin & Co., of Herbert Whitney
deceased and of Mrs. Kelley.
Deceased was born in this city 81
years ago. He was a student at Puma
hou college. After leaving that insti
tuition he journeyed to California ant
took the full course at the Oakland
Business College.
After being prepared for life work
the young man decided to go into the
mining business. From California he

the two Houses. The President was
just entering upon active interest in
the question, when he was called to the
bedside of his dying mother.
1t is now remarked freely by the
public men and in the prints in the
United States that the sugar trust and
the beet sugar interest are bending in
every endeavor to defeat annexation.
1t is openly charged and has never
been denied that the Los Angeles la
Dor council anti-annexation resolution
was put through packed meeting by
representatives of the trust and the
beet sugar combine. These opposing
factors are distributing literature and
sending 'spellbinders" TO meetings At
Washington their leaders are working
openly against annexation and are us
ing all the old stock arguments with a
fresh installment of new and specious
ones. Assurances are sent to the ef-
feet that the trouble in China will help
the annexation cause.

GIBBS WIFE FIGURES IN CASE.
Huntlsy Liberated on Condition That He
Wouldn't Make ANY Advances
to Gibbs Wife.


The Delawanna-Gibbs- Huntley case
was settled yesterday 10 Judge Lam
brigbt's court. II has been most
unique piece Of litigation.
The Delawanna is a sail boat. Gibbs
is her owner. and Huntley is man
who helped build her. Gibbs brought
the Delawanna to Brunswack from
Fitzgerald three weeks ago. HuutIey
followed soon after ana had the boat
levied on for d laborer's lien. Gibbs
retaliated by having Huntley jailed
on charge Of assault with intent to
murder. Thus, while Huntley kept
Gibbs boat iu port, Gibbs kept Hunt
ley IN cell Yesterday an agree
ment was reached, and the boat and
the prisoner were both released
The peculiar feature Of the care is
fog5sd in one Of the items Of settle
ment. Huntley signed letter to
Gibbs, in which the former stipulated,
agreed, covenauted and swore that he
would write no more notes, send no
more messages, make no more adj
vances and hold no more conversa-
tlons to and with Mrs, Gibbs, the wife
Of the boat owner. This letter was
duly signed, sealed and delivered in
The presence Of me court onicials and
witnessed BY JAiler Rudolph at the
county Jail.
The Delawanna is now free to sail
the seas, and Huntley breathes the
free air Of liberty. incidentally, Mrs.
Gibbs has not vet personally appeared
at this end Of the case.
