THE ERRANT GAUC|ANS
ONE RUNS AWAY FROM PAIA AND
ONE FROM LAHAINA.
They Conclude to Go to Work Again
However-Forty from Oahu Still in
Jail-Others Arrive.

PAIA, December S.-Paia plantation
has been having some trouble among
it's Galician laborers. One of them
struck last week over matter of his
small sons pay, but was sent back
to work by the court.
Another one ran away Saturday but
was captured by the police at Kahului
and returned He said some one had
told him that his contract could not
hold, but he was glad to go back to
work.
Lahaina, December s.-One of the
Galician laborers employed on the La
haina plantation deserted his employ
ment few days ago. Search for him
was unavailing. In about a week,
however, he returned and announced
that he was ready to go back to work.
He said he had been all over the Is
land, but like the little boy in Haw-
thorne's pleasing story, he had found
Mr.. Work everywhere. He could not
find a place where men were not
working, or any place where he would
not have to work to make living and
had concluded that Lahaina, where
his friends were, was as pleasant a
place to labor as he had found.
Another Galician refused to work
because he was not yet 21 years of age
and had found that he could not be
bound by his contract. Manager Ahl-
born sent word to him that he was at
perfect liberty to quit and go where
he pleased. The young GaIican i'm
mediately concluded that he pleased
to work on Lahaina plantation, and
shouldered his hoe cheerfully and
went to the cane field to work.
The German bark j. c. Pfuger,
which arrived in Honolulu yesterday
from Bremen brought seven Galicians
who had been left behind by the II.
f. Glade. The seven include a man
and wife and their two children. and
three single men.
The forty-odd Galicians who struck
on Oahu plantation and were ordered
back to their work by Judge Wilcox,
are still at Oahu Jail.
