THE KAUAI GHOST WALKS. "
Continued from Page l.


Kauai are more afraid than q
revolver. They had appeared on
the scene 10 very turbulent state
of MUD but their return was
really pitiful. They simply fell
over one another down the hill in
their anxiety to get away, after
that there was no more trouble.

THE KoLoA "GHosT."
For the past month or six
weeks, there have been queer hap
penings III Koloa. A great tall
man with a flowing beard has
been seen several times at night
time, prowling about the planta-
ton houses and those of others
living in the place. He is very
mysterious character aud has so
far, escaped the vigilance of the
police, some Of whom have come
to the conclusion that the man is
insane.
His habit is to appear suddenly
before person, hold bin up aud.
after thoroughly frightening him,
make off without a word and
without having taken a thing
from the person "accosted," this
habit is followed out when he en-
tprs houses. He has not been
known to steal a thing. These
peculiar habits have gained for
him the name of The Koloa
Ghost"
The police tracked him a fort
night or 30 ago but could not
catch him. In a cave, far up on
one of the hills, was half bag of
rice and other food, believed to be
that of the "ghost."
A NOVEL SCHEME
On the Island of Kauai, from
Hanalei to Mana, may be found
numberless patches of rice, grown
mostly by Cinnamon. Many
schemes for driving off the
troublesome rice birds were
noticed along the road, but the
most novel of them all, was found
in Kelaheo, a little valley between
Laval and Wahiawa. At about
the middle of the small rice plan
tation is an elevated platform
from which strings radiate to a
great many points along the edges
of the patches at intervals. A
Chinaman mounts platform, gives
a set of strings n pull, tapping
the small pieces of clio h attach Il
thereto and Tightening away the
birds. From this platform also
he fires his gun, beats his tin saw
and makes his various hideous
noises.

Raleigh has never seen such funer-

the most of the day was consumed in
