The Kaapana meyhem case occupied
considerable time of the grand jury
Thursday. Kaapana in a spirit OF levi

June last, bit off a piece of his grand
fathers nose.
After hearing the evidence OF sever
al who were at the festivity, the grand
jury threw its inquisitorial searchlight
on the Kahuku Japanese murder case
and several lesser crimes committed
by Mongolians.
1t was thought that H. N. Almy, pro-
prietor of the Waikiki Inn, would be
called to shed light on the profits to be
derived from dispensing soft toddiies,
seductive cocktails and plain goods on
the Sabbath, but that gentleman wasn't
invited to attend the session.
High Sheriff Brown fitted about the
entrance to the jury room, while Ala
bama Mitchell, attentive and alert.
watched with an "heye like an beagle"
the erect official. There was a rumor
about the corridors that the High Sher-
iff had been subpoenaed to tell what
he knew about Sunday liquor selling.
Lewis and Turk were also prominent
about the building. When asked what
was up, they answered that they We're
