Exploring Party's Terri
BILE Experience.
One Of Them Passed Night Near
Mouth of a Lively Crater.

Honolulu, July q, via San Francisco,
July fS.-The volcanic eruption oi
Nauna Loa, is still In full blast The
lava dow is apparently filing up the
table land near the IIumula sheep ranch.
Hiio and the whole is land OF Hawaii are
envelopsd In smoke. Vessels encountered
dense clouds of smoke hundreds of miles
out at sea and navigators are serious In
convenienced. Kilauea Is also smoking
freely ard the indications are that this
volcano win soon be In active eruption.
Frank Davey has r,turne1 from a visit to
the volcano. He says there Is "a series of
eight craters. Five of them were dead,
hut appeared to have been active quite
recsntly. One OF three others was belch-
Ing forth smoke and fire and half molten
rocks of great sizs. According to Davey,
the rocks were as big as horses and wen
to great height.
1t took Dasey and bis party fifteen
hours to ascend the mountain from the
active crater to the summit, where their
horses were left. Two mea became
delirious on the way for want of water.
The trip Is described as terrible In the
extreme. All around the top Of the
mountain II was cold. At the crater II
was very hot b. s. Pratt was caught on
al knoll high up on Mauna Loa on two
sides OF which the lava was flowing The
sun was nearly down He did not know
which wsy to go and spent the night
there as desperate chance as he thought.
Of life He sat up all niRht and watched
the lava flow. When the fumes were
blown his way he lay down ON his face
to keep from satfocating. Next morning
he round his way out by following q
track down between tho two flows.

The trial of w. ]. Colts started in the
Ohio county Criminal Court, Judge HUI
gus, yesterday morning. There was
not a large attendance Of spectators at
any time during the day. The CORR
doris leading to the court room were
filled with witnesses, who had been ex-
cluded from the court room after being
sworn and were awaiting calls to go
upon the stand. The examination or
witnesses proceeded very slowly. The
proceedings were delayed by frequent
objections and arguments of counsel
relative to the admissability of certain
evidence.
The State first examined witnesses
to prove the allegations against de-
PENDANT relative to the Samuel Sloan
incident. The first witness was ex-
City Clerk Watkins, who testified that
Sloan had given an order on his salary
to pay a debt he owed to Joseph Has
enauer. This order, it was alleged,
passed into the hands of Colts, and wit
ness told how a suit had been averted
by a compromise.
Justice of the Peace John G. Haber-
field was asked a number of questions
concerning entries on his docket per-
tanning to the tax cases. There were
frequent objections by the defense to
the line of questions and some sharp
tiffs among the opposing counsel.
Joseph Hasenauer went on the stand
and testified as to his transaction with
Sloan and his subsequent disposition of
his claim against Sloan to w. ]. Colts.
H. e. Bachman, one of the principal
witnesses for the State, was examined
at considerable length. He was taken
over his Indictment by the grand jury
through the efforts of Colts and OF his
subsequent acquittal on trial. Witness
testified that he met Colts number
of times in Pennsylvania, in the vicin-
ity of Waynesburg, when the latter was
a commercial traveller. Colts talked to
him about his suits against city Off
Gals. He told witness that witness
father was on their bonds and he adj
vised him to get off, as he expected to
make big money out of his suits against
the officials. He also spoke to witness
of his troubles with the city, and stated
that he expected to get back all the
money the litigation with the city had
cost him. Witness advised Colts to
speak to Mr.. Bachman himself about
withdrawing from the bonds of city
officials
Clerk of the Criminal Court Wilson
testified to entries in the docket show
ing the acquittal of Bachman. Chief of
Police Clemans testified to his arrest
of Colts and language used by defend
ant at that time. Justice G. S. Greer
and one or two others testified to COM
paratively unimportant facts.
George Ankle, ex-Justice of the
Peace, testified that he had a conversa-
ton with Colts after the latter's first
attempt to indict Bachman. Colts told
him the matter had been nollied. Ankle
told him he should bring a civil action
and get a judgment if he thought Bach
man owed him any money. Colts re-
piled that he proposed to have him in
dicted by the Criminal Court grand
jury, adding that if the penitentiary
stared Bachman in the face his father
or brothers would settle the claim.
At five o'clock court adjourned until
nine o'clock this morning
