HIS ACTIONS ON TRIP
Hicks who was on Martha Davis
Tells Of Antics Of Deputy
Marshal.

IIILO. Hawaii, Oct. 20.-H. j. Metz, the
United States Deputy Marshal,
will probably NOT visit Hilo again, says
the Herald J/D. Hicks, who made the
round trip on the Martha Davis, met
Metz frequently the voyage up and
speaking Of the matter yesterday Mr..
Hicks said:
Metz came aboard the vessel a day or
two Before we sailed and gave it out that
he would go up on her and make the
round trip. He got aboard again some
time during the night before we left and
l saw him in the forward part of the ship
the next day. In conversation he re-
marked that he was going to San Fran
els co for the purpose of searching the
Matson line vessels. Afterwards he re-
marked that his business might take him
on to Washington, but as he came aboard
with a pommel slicker, / was inclined to
&C ubt his statement l did not think he
would need his slicker in the East unless
he was going to the Capitol as Andy
Jackson did when he was inaugurated
President of the United States.
ION the way up Metz was worse broke
than the ten commandments; he ratified
Oft Government rifle and cartridges one
day and later raffled a finger ring. He
intimated that he had secured possession
of the opium captured by Lieut.. Horne
and that things would be easy for the
man who lost the dope. l was satisfied
that Mr. Metz was in error in this opin-
ion. The frienoliness shown by Metz fol
one of the officers of the vessel wa:
amusing and so marked that We made VI
on mir that no would q n MAKE
borrow when he reached port, but thi:
was a mistake. I did not see him afte
we landed, but friend of mine did, ant
Metz showed him $500 in cash and tool
him out for good time
Before Metz left Hilo he told some o
bis friends that his father had writer
him that if he needed money he woul
send him $500. and that he Metz ha
written his father to send it to Williams
Dimond & Co., so he could draw on it. /
| is possible that the money he displayed i
Sar Francisco was a portion of tina
amount. And then again, perhaps it wa
rot.
FRONT STREET LINES.
1t is pretty nearly shameful that tn
line of the mauka side of Front stree
carnot be established by some one in au
| TIC ity, says the Herald. Between Kin
| and Church streets there are building
on no less than seven lines and each me-
builder is given a different line from HI
neighbor who builds a few weeks befor
A.a Such CONDITION on. Of affairs Is oil,
4 home rule. A glance at the alleged SD;
/ walks in front of the buildings betwee
Woods store and Church street woul
make horse kick himself in disgust
would seem that something could be dor
to prevent this ruthless disregard for a
the laws of harmony. And speaking
sidewalks reminds the Herald that sine
the recommendations made by the Advi
DRY Board of Street Commissioners to NJ
McCandleSS a month or two ago relatiy
TO sidewalks il Hilo, the matter seen
to DE lead. The specifications for side
walks in Honolulu are being publishe
daily, but as far as Hilo is concerned, til
Superintendent of Public Works remain
silent. The Hilo people felt that the Wis
of Mr.. McCandlessF would result in SON
improvements to the town, but the
hopes seem to Rave been badly misplace,
Front street in its present condition is
disgrace to Hilo and the authoriti.
should begin to realize it.
GETTING IN ORDER.

r:Gay night was the first with guns an

rapid strides in learning the tactics TT
