Judge Carter yesterday gave his final
decision regarding the custody of Nettie
Canary, which grew out of the Canary di-
vorce suit litigation. Mrs. Canary, who is
now Mrs. Bud Swift filed suit against her
husband for divorce. but he got the divorce
on a cross-complaint. The custody of the
child was given to Mrs. Swift's mother, but
she was afterward taken away and given
to Canary's sister. This was to have been
the final decision, but it has been shown
that the child grieved so for her mother
that the judge finally decided she would
be better off in her custody.

HOLD-UP ON
VOLCANO ROAD
-Four Porto Ricans Stop a Jap
dnese Hackman-The
Men Arrested.

Last Monday night a Japanese driv-
fence that was quite new to him. He
was driving slowly out the Volcano
road. and when he reached a point
about three miles from town, and just
beyond where the Chinese hackman
was killed a year ago, he was stopped
by four men and his money demanded.
The Japanese plead poverty until one
of the men pulled a large knife and
threatened him with death if he did
not disgorge. Then the driver became
frightened and made a jump from the
hack and darted into the cane and made
his escape, leaving his horse and hack
standing. The man made his way to a
telephone and reported the matter to
the police. Deputy Sheriff Overend and
two officers proceeded at once to the
place and found the hack, but the har
off. No trace of the men was found.
Returning toward town the officers
found the men hiding in the bushes
about half a mile away from the scene
of the hold-up. AS they were. being put
under arrest one of them drew an ugly
looking knife and showed fight. He was
promptly overpowered and with the
others taken to jail and locked up.
They were charged in the district court
on Tuesday and their cases postponed
until September 4th.-Hawaii Herald.
