PECULIAR MISHAP BEFALLS AN
ALAMEDA MERCHANT.

ALAMEDA, Feb. 24.-John Hansen, who
occupies a prominent place among the
young business men of this city, nearly
sneezed himself TO death few days ago.
The tissues of his brain were injured by
the attack and for some time the young
mans condition was considered critical.
The most serious injury he sustained was
a rupture of the drum of the left ear.
Mr. Hansen was at work in his office
last Tuesday when he felt a chill come
over him and commenced to sneeze. At
first he thought he had caught slight
cold but the sneeZing continued for
nearly an hour and increased in severity
until Hansen collapsed from exhaustion
and had to be taken to his home on Eagle
avenue. where medical assistance was
summoned The young man remained in
a comatose state for many hours, the
physicians ascribing his condition to in
juries TO the organs of the head brought
about by the paroxysm. When he re-
gained consciousness he complained OF
violent pains in his head Upon examina-
ton it was discovered that the drum Of
his left ear had been injured and his hear
ing somewhat impaired. His eyestght,
which had previously been perfect, was
also slightly affected, but the doctors
state that the injury will only be tenn
pOrary.

tralia. arriving four days later
At the date of these advices, Mr.. Lili-
enthal had just returned to san Fran
cisco from the East and had not had
time to fully complete all details with
Col. Macfarlane. But everything was
moving satisfactorily. The Eastern in
terests connected with the enterprise
had fully complied with their agree
ments. and it was Col. Macfarlane's eX-
peCtation that he would be ready to re
turn on the Hongkong Maru.
From these advCes it Is the eXpeCtd-
tion now that everything will be in
readiness to open the doors of the bank

vault fittings and bullion safes arrive
when they are expected, the fitting and
arrangement of the bank offices will be

ATwATER's HORSE AND BUGGY
RESTORED TO HIM.
Found In Possession of Charles Kahili
Early This Morning-Driver Placed
Under Arrest.

w. O. Atwaters horse and buggy
have been recovered. The property is
now in the hands of the owner and the
man who is supposed to have stolen it,
is in Jail.
The vehicle was mysteriously missed
from the Masonic Temple last Wednes-
cay night. After waiting a day, Mr..
Atwater offered reward of $40 for its
recovery. Yesterday the reward was
raised to $50
Lieutenant Kekal, of the police, ran
onto the vehicle quite Unexpectedly at
a very early hour this morning. He was
on a Palama car about $3.50 returning
to his home, when, just beyond the
depot, on King street, he saw horse
and buggy in the road without driv-
er. The rig was drawn up In such
way that it had to be moved to allow
the car to pass.
This proceeding attracted Kekai's at
tention to the outfit. He could not get
the idea out of his head that he knew
the horse. When about Liliha street he
happened to think of Atwater and his
loss, and Immediately he remembered
both animal and buggy.
The officer left the car at once and
hurried back to the rig. When he reach
ed the spot the driver was just leaving
a neIghboring house His name was
Charles Kahili, fellow who has been
in trouble before. Kekai arrested him
and took charge of the outfit.
AT the station house Kahili told a part
of his story. He said that on Wednes-
day night he was walking down Alakea
street below Beretania, met a friend in
the rig and was invited to get in. He
did so. The young fellow could not eX-
! plain, however, how or why he was still
| in possession of the property.
! The case will come up in the police
! court Monday morning.
