rabbit and chased it into cliff Of
rocks. Gay built a fire to smoke it
out. While peering into a crevice he
saw something wiggiing about that he
supposed was snake, which had been
thawed out by the fire. Securing a
large sharp boulder he took careful
aim and hurled the murderous weapon
at his snakeship. He was greeted with
a series Of yelps and howls indicative
of anger, pain and surprise, and his
eyes beheld a fash of something ca

town. An investigation disclosed the
fact that it was the dogs we'll worn

at most times is peaceable, but yester-

and it was well he was locked up, as
some of his tantrums might result ser
iously. This poor fellow should be
taken in hand by the county au-

he would receive proper care.

CITIZENS
Free Inspections Last a
Fortnight.
A Corps of Paid Men VIII be Organ
lied by That Time to
Take Charge.

A meeting Of the Citizens Sanitary
Committee took place yesterday after
noon at O'Clock at the headquarters,
corner Of Fort and Queen streets, for
the purpose of deciding the question of
continuing the inspection of the city
as heretofore or turning the patter
over to an organization of paid in
spectors under the Board of Health.
The committees Office was filed with
inspectors, sub-inspectors, merchants
and members of the Board of HEALTH
President Thurston called the meeting
to order and spoke, in brief. as fol-
lows:
"A number Of inspectors have re-
ported TO me of late concerning the
dropping out of many of the sub-in-
spectors and that much Of the work of
inspection that has been done has not
been of an efficient nature. If the work
has not been done thoroughly, then We
do not know where we are. Numbers
of those who at first volunteered, while
having done good and faithful service,
are now in a. positiOn where they sim
ply have to give their attention to 9TH
er matters; they have made sacrifices
and have worked splendidly and feel
now, many of them, that they must do
something for themselves, as their bus
mess has been suffering and demands
their time and attention. Then again
many of the sub-inspectors seem to
feel that their work is useless; they
have not discovered any cases of
plague and have perhaps unconscious
ly relaxed their vigilance and energy,
and the result is that recently the work
of inspection has nCt been properly
done.
Now the purpose Of this meeting is
TO obtain the consensus of opinion
among the members of the committee
as TO what is me best thing that can
be done; either TO go 20 work and call
on the merchants for more volunteers
as sub-inspectors and SO keep the work
going on, or to suspend volunteer in
spectors; or stop entirely where we are
and let a capable force Of paid inspect
ors take up the work 90 inspecting the
city under the supervision of the Board
of Health. / will say that the commit
tee is perfectly willing 20 keep on with
the work though some OF the inspect
ors find it necessary 70 withdraw for
one reason or another. II will, of
course, be very hard for those remain
ing to keep it going; they have nu-
merous calls on their time, and, though
DESTROYS of doing all in their power to
help, can't be expected 70 entirely sac
rifice their business. The question,
then, is IL the committees inspectors
and sub-inspectors shall continue as
now or suspend operations and turn
the matter over TO the Board of Health,
who will organize a corps OF paid in
spectors for the work. DR.. Wood is
here with US and will call upon him
to give his opinion in the matter, as
we should all like 70 hear his views"

HoUGHrAILING CONVICTED.
Found Guilty of Selling Liquor With
out a License.

George HOughtailing, proprietor of
the Favorite saloon, was found guilty
yesterday of selling liquor without a
license by a native jury in the Cir
cult Court. Ten of the jurymen con-
CURED in the verdict and two dissent
ed. Houghtailing will appear for SEN
tence Wednesday morning. There was
but a slim lobby in the court when
Judge Perry opened the session.
though there was considerable interest
in the disposition of Houghtailing's
case.
The following was the jury that con-
victed HOughtailing: Kaholelio, J. w.
Mahelona, NJ. Pauhi, Alex Nicholas, s.
W. Kaikuahine, S. X. Aki, J. U. lose
pha, John ID. Holt, Jr., /. II. Hakuole,
s. Aholo, A. ]. Smithies, Joseph Nor
ris.
T. 2. Dole and Deputy Cathcart APP
peared for the prosecution and ]. T.
de Bolt conducted the defense. The
witnesses for the prosecution were
Dan Vida. Carl Mertens, Bonnie
Lemon, ID. X. Unauna, Charles II. Car
ter. Thomas King and J. II. Mertens.
The testimony was substantially the
same as in the police court trial two
months ago. Several criminal cases
will be tried this week if possible.
though quarantine interferes greatly
with the getting of a jury and the
calling of witnesses. Judge Stanley
being i'll and Judge Perry left to con-
duct all the business of the court for
eign jury cases will hardly be arrived
at for some weeks.

they answer that they do not: but hey
do. Notwithstanding. These people re-
leased from the detention camps. as
soon as they are free. 90 TO some
friends house. where they have left
some cd clothes. baggage or keep
sakes they used in Chinatown before
the fire. and take them with them TO
wherever they go TO live. This was
proven in the Lee Ling case. That is
the reason so many cases OF plague
nave been cropping up here and there
OF late: infection has undoubtedly been
taken in some OF these cases through
clothing. Lee Ling appears 20 have
come to his death through infected
clothing.
IF the Citizens Sanitary Committee
can see its way clear to keep things
going for a little while longer. ! should
like 20 have them do IT, They have
done well already and we deeply APP
Dreciate their splendid work"
The question as laid before che meet
ing by Mr.. Thurston was discussed
generally and at some length by hose
present. The consensus of opinion
was that the committee was DESTROYS
of doing all it could to assist the Board
of Health. and that the work should be
carried on until an efficient corps of
paid inspectors had been organized.
There were many speeches on the sub
ject, Messrs. w. r. Castle. A. b. Wood,
Grant, McClanShan, Hitchcock,
Campbell, Fisher, Ballou and Others
expressing their opinions.
The committee finally decided that
the work of inspection should continue
for at least two weeks longer.
