house evidently very weak, az ne
did not have strength enough to
ward of the flies that infested his
swollen face. Mr.. Oge's side Of
the story is substantially as fol-
lows: While on his way to Wal
luku to issue warrant of arrest
against four Che Zoos who had
assaulted luna in the field that
morning, he met the complainant
on the way who held up Mr..
Oee's horse at the bidding Of four
other Che Zoos who were quite q
distance in the rear. Mr.. Ogg
finding himself in this predica-
ment, sligbted from his horse and
went straight at the Che Foo la
Sharkey, and after laying up his
opponent in short order, mounted
his steed and galloped for Wal
luku ere the other Chez Foo got
to the rescue of their comrade.
Had MIR. Ogg been less adroit
than he was, his face would have
been an easy prey for his pur-
suers. Trial will come off next
Wednesday.
A hop will take place at the
courthouse, Waikiki, on the
evening of the 2Sth inst, it being
celebration in honor of the
birthday of Mrs. w. G.. Scott, the
estimable wife of the deputy
sheriff Of Maui.
Cost of living on Maui is stead
lily on the increase. A bag of rice
is sold at retail for S6.75 while
pork dressed for market six
pounds for a dollar. But pigs are
bought at wholesale at the Kula
districts for 81 cents per ID. Meat
is ten cents per ID. but there is
a likelihood of it going up to 15cts.
per ID. Carcasses, however, are
sold at wholesale from 8 to 10 cts.
per ID. according to quality. Eggs
sold $500 per hundred. Fresh
fish are a rarity at Waikiki ex-
cept on Saturdays when never
failing Ross brings over load of
Molokai mullet from Lahsina, and
they are sometimes 80 old that it
would cause Inspector Keliipio to
condemn a whole lot as he has
often times done at the Honolulu
market. Occasionally the Kahu-
lui fishermen bring deep sea fish
for the Wailuku market and when
they come they always find
ready buyers. Poi is however
cheap, that is, it can be had for
one half the Honolulu price.
Other staple articles are sold at
prevailing prices. To order for
fancy groceries from Honolulu is
considered a luxury, because of
the fearful rates of transportation.
A Waikiki young lady recently
received box of rs cent candies
from her Honolulu friend, and il
cost her 65 cents for freight alone,
and of cause the candies were ap-
preciated the more on account OF
the rise in value to a 80 cent box,
and the young lady is said to
have written to her Honolulu
friends not to be so lavish in their
attentions to her by sending such
costly candies. Wailuku candies
are good enough for her.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. B. Castle, who
have been the guests of Manager
and Mrs. Lowrie Of Spreckelsville
for few days, return to town per
Claudine this afternoon.
The steamer Lehua did not put
in an appearance at Kahului this
week consequently the Claudine
will take the $50 paiais for the
leper settlement this afternoon,
and will not touch at Lahaina.
District Magistrate Mckay and
Deputy Sheriff Scott, both of
Wsiluku will leave for Honolulu
this afternoon. The former goes
in connection with the Nahiku
road contract while the latter
goes in charge of four insane
people to be placed in the asylum.
Mr.. Scott also takes with him q
specimen of his raw silk for exhi-
bition in Honolulu. The silk
threads were unwoven from COG
coons and if spread out cover a
distance of nearly thirty miles.
Mr.. Scott expects to receive the
report of the San Diego expert in
the shipment of 1000 coccoons ex-
ported by him early this month
for the sole purpose of obtaining
expert opinion on the advisability
of silk culture on Maui.
