The Healani substitute Junior crew
composed of Messrs. Gleason, Boisse,
Walker and Walker, Were out in shell
for the first time last night. 1t came
near being the last time, for when off
Spreckers wharf, just as the sun went
down, a large crab was caught ard an
upset occurred. The contents of the
boat were precipitated in the water,
but luckily assistance was at hand and
all were rescued, none the worse for
thoir enforced bath, Notwithstanding
the fact that the feet Of the crew were
strapped to the bottom of the boat.
Walter Wall, who was coxswain and
had on his business suit. was naturally
the most Inconvenience one of the lot
and was dispatched home in a hack.
The Fearless offered to tow the outfit
wanted to submit the case to arbitra-

disgust. Soon afterwards a small boat
came to the rescue, and the shell was
towed to the wharf ana baled out. In

found, caused probably by the oars.

says that the end of the week sees much
development in both club crews. He is
sure of his Senior crew, but is doubtful
as to the composition of the Healani
Junior boat on account of lack of good
material. He says that his men will
complete their training right from their
boathouse, and thinks that more is lost
than is gained by shipping the crews

GAMBLI NC HUSBAND
THREATENS WIFE
de Demands Her Last Cent
After Losing All at
Play.

Judge Wilcox yesterday suspended
sentence on Alexander Nicholas charg-
ed with assault upon his wife. From
the evidence adduced at the trial it APP
pears that Nicholas is gambler by
profession and has no other means of
support. Some of his money was held
oy ms wife. He needed money a day
or two ago and demanded what his
wife had.
She refused to give it up, it being all
she had in the house and he promptly
procured small rifle and pursued her
threatening to shoot her. In court yes
terday the wife asked that Judge Will
cox give her husband a curtain lecture
which he acceded to following it up
with thirteen months suspended
sentence. Nicholas was given to I'M

BAILIFF MCGURN
PAYS HIS FINE
He Will Be a Deputy Sheriff
in a Very Few
Days.

Albert McGurn, after waiting around
the police station Thursday afternoon
for the mittimus committing him to
prison in lieu of the payment of the SIS
fine imposed by Judge Humphreys for
contempt of court, did not have an op-
portunity to go to prison. His fine was
paid and he is now a free man. The
mittimus in the case was not sent down
to the police station until noon of yes
terday. Acting then upon the advice
of his friends McGurn decided to pay
the fine and end the incident.
High Sheriff Brown will appoint him
at once as Deputy Sheriff for Homo
lulu and his commission will be made
out in few days. The appointment is
considered good one by those who
have known Bailiff McGurn during his
eight years of service at the Circuit
Court, and they assert he has at all
times conducted himself as an efficient
officer of the law. The appointment OF
McGurn as a Deputy Sheriff is prima-
rily to have him serve summonses, both
civil and criminal, which are sent
down by the Circuit Court to the High
Sheriff or his Deputies.
