.B|G MAUI LAND DEAL.
KALIKINUI RANCH AND CATTLE
SOLD.
Waterhouse and Company are Pur-
Report of Sale Confirmed Locally.

PAIA, Maui, December Attorney
George Hons of Wailuku has just closed
a deal between Waterhouse & Company
of Honolulu and A. Enos & Company of
Wailuku involving the sale of Kahik-
nui Rancr and cattle by EnOs & Com
pany to the Honolulu company at a
price said to exceed $780, 900.
Kahikinui Ranch consists of about
$500 acres of fee simple land and about
$4,000 acres of leased lands on which a
five year lease is to run. There are
estimated to be 1000 head of cattle on
the ranch. Waterhouse & Co., will also
take over the butcher shop of Enos 60
Company in Wailuku.
1t is the purpose of the new COM
pany to find a market for all their beef
on Maui. AS the ranch contains fine
pasturage, and turns out the best beef
on the Island, this will be good news
to the beef eating citizens of Maui, who
have heretofore had to be content with
very poor beef the best going to the
Honolulu market
1t is rumored about town that a new
incorporation will be organized to take
over the purchase, and that possibly
Ulupalakua will be taken into the deal,
some of the owners of Ulupalakua be-
ing largely interested in the present
deal

HORSE BEATEN TO DEAH.TH OBSTINATE SQUATTER [
REFUSES TO VACATE THE OLAA
HOMESTEADS.
Purchasers at Recent Sale Appeal for
Protection, and Places Government
in a Predicament.

The persons buying land in the Olaa
tract, recently sold at auction by the
Territorial government, seem to be up
all sorts of trees and the authorities
are nearly or quite as mucn at sea as
they. Two earnest, urgent appeals
We're read at the council of bureau
heads this morning. They were from
persons who had bought. These men
repored that when they went to take
possession of their lands they found
squatters in charge. The squatters had
guns and dogs and refused to vacate.
The buyers of the land requested the
government to oust the squatters and
place them in peaceful possession of
Their property.
No action was taken The bureau
heads are uncertain what may or may
not be done. What District Attorney
Baird intends doing is the stiCkler. 1t
is asserted that he has instructions to
pursue certain Investigations and if
certain conclusions are reached that
he shall bring suit before Judge Es-
tee for the recovery of the land, set
ti~ forth at the same that the Terri
torial government had no authority to
sell it. Mr.. Baird has refused to deny
this report. Until the matter works
itself out from Baird's office nothing
can be done by the Territorial govern
ment to relieve the purchasers OF the
ieihu llbll llltH tlllDdITdSSlleul.
Captain Pond, of the Iroquois, is
equally embarrassed. He was instruc-
ted to look out for squatters. Now,
two have appeared-the instances
above cited. As sailing up the volcano
road is rather bad he is at loss to
know how to look after the squatters." 8"
Akona was denied a liquor license for

UNUSUAL CHARGE AGAINST LUM
SING.
Took Big Club and Beat a Trespass-
ing Horse so That 1t Died from the
Effects.

Lum Sing, a Chinese who lives in Pa
lama, was committed to the Circuit
court this morning for trial on charge
of having beaten a horse to death with
a club. The horse in question was own
ed by Sam kanahele, who testified to
having buried the animal after Lum
had been seen beating it. 1t was worth
$40.
Two native women were the witnesses
against Lum. Last Wednesday they
saw him striking the animal with a long
club that looked like a hoe handle. The
horse ran from him and he followed
with the club. This took place in an
empty lot near Lum's place. Later in
the day the owner came home and
found the horse lying dead. 1t was bad
ly bruised as if by blows, and had been
bleeding. He swore out a warrant for
the arrest of Lum on a charge of mali
cious injury.
Lum swore that he had never seen the
horse. He had not even seen any horse
at all last Wednesday. Judge Wilcox
thought, however, that jury would be
likely to convict on the evidence in the
case, and bound Lum over for trial.
The horse is alleged to have been
straying on the land that Lum wanted
for other uses and this is supposed to
have been the reason for his beating it.

.ESTATEMATTERSADJUSTED BROKE THE SABBATH LAW
INTEREST OF e. A. JONES IN
WAIKANE.
Mistake of Settlement Causes Some
Complications in Guardians Accounts
Maui Jurors.

Mrs. Isabelle McC. Jones has filed a
supplementary account as guardian OF
the minor children of herself and the
late T.. A. Jones. 1t will be remembered
that the master, w. J. Robinson, was at
a loss to account for certain items in
the original account and referred them
to the court with a request that ex-
plantations be given. The principal
trouble seems to have arisen over the
matter of r.. \. Jones' interest in the
estate at Waikane. Mrs. Jones, the
guardian, and Z. G. Jones, father ofde-
ceased, was of the opinion that the
young man owned a half interest there,
Such, however. proved not the case.
Negotiations for the requirement of a
half interest were under way when
death occurred to Il. A. Jones, the deal
having never been effected
Subsequent to this discovery p. c.
Jones decided to give to his son $ child
ren the value of half interest in the
Watkane property anyway. He there
upon turned over to the guardian sew
enty shares of the Peter G. Jones Com
pany, Limited, Ji the par value of $1,000
to be divided @1Iallv between the four
children. This was accepted as gift,
and so appears in the amended ac-
counts, which seems to Straighten out
matters. Receipts have been $1051.59
and expenditures $4SS.4S since the last
accounts. The income of the estate is
$3.50 a month.

INDEPENDENT TT-AT-

WA1LUKU, December IA luau was
given last Wednesday by the Indepen-
dents of Wailuku at the Skating Rink,
for double purpose, to celebrate Ha-
waiian Independence day, and the sue
cess of the Independent party, but par
ticularly the latter.
The affair was an unusual spectacle:
very large number of Hawaiians
seated themselves at four long tables,
on which Hawaiian delicacies were
spread. Everything was conducted in a
purely Hawaiian fashion. The hula
was in evidence and appreciated. Dur
ing the luau shouts of "Kuokoa" were
heard from different parts of the hall
The day was spent in eating and drink
ing and they made merry.

GOLD storage VESSEL
THE ELIHU THOMSON HERE
FROM SEATTLE.
She Makes a Cut Rate for Passengers.
Beer Famine Ended-Hot Time at
Cape Nome.

The steamer Elihu Thomson, Captain
Whitney, looked for for several days,
arrived early this morning from Seat
tie. She was two weeks in making the
trip owing to very stormy weather
during the first few days. The Elihu
Thomson will probably run here reg
ularly, and she has already begun to
cut into the passenger business by
making a rate of $50 for first class
passenger passage. She brought fifteen
passengers from Seattle.
After leaving Seattle the Elihu Thom-
son ran into a severe storm. She is
about the six size of the Czarina,
which came here for the Oceanic
company few months ago, and when
the weather got bad she played some
startling antics, in the opinion of the
passengers. The officers didn't think
so. They had been to Cape Nome with
her and had held on while she stood
on end there, and they told the pas
sengers that the sea was quite smooth.
The Elihus arrival was important
to Honolulu in two particulars. She
ended the beer famine and she began
the cold storage business from Seattle,
which will probably keep up hereafter.
Beer, in bottles and barrels, to the
amount of $500 barrels, came in the
hold of the steamer, and the Metropoli-
tan Meat Company gets from her about
! so tons of frozen meat.
The Elihu Thomson has about $50
tons cold storage capacity, and this is
! likely to make her a valuable vessel
in island trade just now, when the inn
portation of meat is attended by a
| good deal of difficulty She is owned
by the Pacific Cold Storage Company,
of Tacoma.
! The Thomson carried 225 passengers
/ on one of her Nome trips. Where she
put them is a mystery to all except
| those who We're there. Purser Styles
says that it would have been a COM
Portable trip if the barometer had be-
haved itself, but as it was there was
good deal of excitement connected
with the journey. OF course there
wasn't much room to spare, and at
night time the passengers were almost
in the predicament of the famous
company of sleepers who all had to
turn over at once, at a given signal
but in the day time some of them were
able to yawn and stretch, by going uI
in the rigging.
The Elihu Thomson will leave here
on Friday or Saturday for Seattle. She
will carry passengers but as the Cop
tic leaves for the coast on Saturday
will not take mall

THE CIRCUIT JUDGESH|P.
GEAR SUDDENLY LEAVES ON THE
RIO.
Said to be Going to Look After His
Candidacy-Report of De Bolts
Appointment.

George D. Gear left on Saturday on
the steamer Rio Janeiro. His departure
was quite sudden and is said to have
had something to do with the matter OF
the circuit judgeship, for which he and
Attorney De Bolt are candidates. The
matter has now been pending for some
time. and it is expected that decision
will be made at a very early date.
Gear did not confide in his friends be-
fore going and did not book at Hackfeld
& Company's as is the rule. In fact
Mr.. Gear seemed anxious to keep his
departure secret and when on the
steamer about ten minutes before she
left he denied that he was going. He
was not covered with leis, nor was there
an assemblage of friends to see him Oft
and he was not to be seen at the railing
with others who were departing, when
the Rio pulled away from the wharf,
but he is nevertheless said to have been
down below, on his way to where he
could be in closer touch with the autho-
rites at Washington. Perhaps he will
continue his journey to the national
capital.
The Independent on Saturday pub
lished a paragraph that advices had
been received from Washington, in
dicating that De Bolt had been ap-
pointed" Editor Norrie says that he
got a letter from correspondent to
whom he wrote inquiring about the
luuBeSllll, III WHICH, II was Sb1NCu biit'N
De Bolts appointment was about to be
made Norrie saws that the writer of
the letter is a man who has good oppor-
tunities for making inquiries regarding
such a matter, and has been reliable in
the past.
Attorney De Bolt has not heard any,
thing indicating an appointment either
way. He said this morning that he had
received no news about the matter at
all and was not worrying about which
way the cat Jumps.

MARINE sQUATTERs ELECTED
Residents of Edward O'Brien Wreck
Ordered to Vacate

The marine squatters who took up
their abode in the wreck of the clipper
ship Edward O'Brien over on the reef
by the quarantine island have been or
dered to Vacate. Instead of living the
free and easy life, half marooned, half
in touch with the world, James Kuhuea
his family and former companions are
to be no longer allowed to use the
broken, useless fragmnts of the ship
for place of habitation.
Three weeks ago notice was served on
them by the agents of j. X. Summer
who claims ownership over that strip
of sand reef where the vessels bones
are beached that the squatters would
either have to pay rent or else leave.
huhea and his friends have been MAX
ing a scanty living by fishing and as the
alleged owner thought that the catches
must be good the old Hawaiian law OF
the chiftains tithe was threatened. Ku-
hea claimed that as he is now on Ame-
rican and American laws govern the
islands ii was not necessary for him to
pay the rent. However he moved his
family from the wreck although he still
goes out to fish there.

Judge Wilcox Refuses to Punish Them
Because White Haoles are Likewise

Three Japanese were arrested yester-

heathenish violation of the Christian

thing about the sacred day of rest. kept
on working on a house they are build
ing on Liliha street. until an officer
came up and told them they had COM
mitted crime in laboring on the Sab
bath.
The law says that only work that is
necessary shall be done on SUNDAYS.
When he heard this Yama announced

Its S mystery to me-" continued the
Judge "how these permits to work are
issued. l don't see how the high sheriff

anyone to violate the Sunday law per-
haps he has the right to give permis-
sions to break the burglary law and all
