TOWN ELECTION.
The Old Board Reelected
by a Big Majority.

The election for Mayor and
Board of Aldermen took place last
Monday. Out Of a total registra-
ton of lsl, there were SO votes
cast, only one of which was colored,
hence it was virtually contest be-
tween the white voters of the town.
DR.. Z. Z. Williams was elected
Mayor, and Mr.. s. d. Anderson,
who declined to serve another term
As Mayor. was elected Alderman
The only new name on the ticket
was that of Mr.. L. Medal, who run
in place of Capt. Weaver, who de-
clined to serve another term a.
Alderman.
The fact that the old members
were reelected by good majority
shows that their administration tor
the past year meets with the hearty
approval Of the public.
The members elect are all prop
erty owners, business men and pro-
gressive citizens, and it is needless
to say the affairs of the town will
be perfectly safe in their hands,
and that they will act for the best
interests of the town Is an assured
fact.
The candidates who we're de-
feated are also property owners
and business men, who doubtless
have the best interests of the town
At heart. but the voters decided
against them, and they will doubt
less accept their defeat with be-
grace.
We give the vote in detail as
follows, the FIRST Sax names for Al
llermen helno elected:

A JURY WANTED
Trying to Get u Men for
a Riot Case.
rive Japanese Charged With Muir
der In the First Degree-A New
Panel-CiviI Cases,

There was great difficulty in getting
jury yesterday to try the first five
rloting Kahuku japanese charged with
murder. Attorney General Cooper and
W. 0. Smith directed the questioning
FOR the Republic, and \. G.. NJ. Robert
son appeared for the defense. The
first panel of fifty was entirely ex-
hausted without jury having beaen
obtained. a new panel was ordered
and the names given to the police to
serve the summons The effort to get
jury will proceed today.
Nearly all the men called yesterday
had some opinion of the case. One
man believed that every man who took
part in a riot in which people were
killed should be hanged. Naturally the
defense did not think he would make
good juror, so he was excused.
Plaintiff in the matter of ]. d. PAWS
VS.. Antoine Fernandez has filed a bond
for appeal in the sum of $4,000.
In the decision handed down by the
Supreme Court in the matter of Manu-
Kapule ct al vs. Makupiwa and Kohue,
bill for specific performance, the fol-
lowing points of law are brought out:
can answer to bill in equity should
be signed by respondent, and sworn to
by him, unless the oath be waived by
the bill.
''An unsworn answer, signed by an
attorney for defendants, is no answer.
GA receipt for money by a wife in
part payment of land of the wife, her
name being written by her husband
and cross mark affixed by her, she
having agreed verbally to the sale, and
the party purchasing entering into pos
session of the premises, binds the wife,
and entities the purchaser or his heirs
to a decree of specific performance"
The plaintiff obtained the relief
prayed for.
