Bis Experience.

Mr.. John Gribble appeared be-
fore the District Magistrate this
morning charged with assaulting a
Hawaiian police officer.
From the testimony it appeared
that MIR. Gribbls had visited lady,
named Mary McGurn, and that a
dispute had occurred between the
two in regard to hat, to which
both claimed the ownership.
Both were talking through the
hat, and were making enough noise
to awaken the police officer, who
lives in. a cottage adjoining the tenn
porary battlefield. Pinning his star
on his undershrt the brave follower
Of the High Sheriff made descent
on the combatants and got whacked
by Mr.. Gribble,

arrived to do something and Gribble

The Judge remarked that it was

have to dance on the carpet, whether
they were ordinary "drunks" or
high-toned murderers.

appear better if the secretary OF the
