7. J. Mcfarland Of Iowa Writes Of
the Old uarshal.

the Old xarshal.
T. j. Mcfarland, Of Des Moines,
Iowa, . prominent figure in early
days in Kansas, has written an extern.
sive story Of early border experiences.
He details some Of Abilene's exciting
incidents in 1901 and adds this as
to Wild Bills start in his famous
career as a "bad" man:
1.-The start Of Wild Bill was at
Rock Creek, Kas., where be had a
shooting scrape with the McCandless
brothers, Jack and Jim. There were
nine Of the gang, led by the McCand.
less boys. They went to Rock Greek
to take horses belonging to the gov
eminent from Bill who was agent at
that place at the time. The horses
were in bis care and we're used for
carrying mail through to points in
New Mexico. They had sent him
word they were coming over to take
the horses. Bill lived in 'dugout,
which was residence IS well IS an
improvised fort. They kept their
word. When they appeared Bill re-
treated to his dugout, and at the first
shot be killed Jim McCandless. Jack
sprang through the door with pistol
in one hand and q bowie knife in the
other. Bill leveled musket at him
and shot McCandless dead on the
threshold. The other members Of the
gang, nine in number, closed in on
Bill. Having emptied bis weapon be
had to resort to his own knife. He
killed all but one, who escaped from
the dugout and ran away. He was
wounded, and becoming weak from
loss Of blood, he fell half way down
the hill. Bill followed him, and grab.
bling double barreled shotgun from
government scout, who, hearing the
shooting, had come up, killed the
fugitive. In this fight be wiped out
the entire gang.
The stage drove up short time
after the fight. One Of the passen-
gers was q doctor from Kansas City,
NO., who seeing Bill was badly hurt,
dressed his wounds. One Of the pas.
sengers, asked Bill how he got away
with the gang, after looking at the
bodies lying about. He replied:
"'I just went wild, like wounded
bear slashing about with its paw
"Ever after that he was known by
the name OF Wild Bill so much so
that during his subsequent stormy
life few people other than those &C.
quainted with him personally knew
his real name. His right name was
James B. Hickok. He was born in
LaSalle, III. He made his debut at
Independence, NO., where, during
fight in the streets between the sher-
if and gang Of freighters from the
plains he stepped to the side Of the
sheriff and remarked, having a brace
Of pistols in his hands, If you fel-
lows don't keep quiet there'll be more
dead men in Independence than the
town can bury. The row ended
right there"

BOYD PREPARING A BIG CON.
TRACT.
win Clean out the Bottom Of IN,
Channel and Harbor From End tc
End.

Superintendent of Public Works Boyd
is preparing TO Thoroughly dredge
Honolulu harbor. from end to end. to
get rid Of the mud, coal, coral, etc, that
have gathered on the bottom and ma
terially reduced the depth of water in
some places The work has been de-
Jided upon as necessary IN spite OF the
shortage Of funds, and il Will be begun
In two or three weeks
The job will be quite a large one. %
said Boyd, and ] have not yet arrang-
ed the details, or decided what dredger
TO use, or just how the work will be
ordered. At any rate We shall make a
thorough job Of il, and clear the harbOr
TO the depth il was originally made We
shall work from end TO end, and the
job will probably be quite a long one.
but it is getting to be a necessity for
shipping that the harbor should be
dredged.'
II is proposed to dredge the channel
and beginning with the Waikiki end
wharves, to go down the harbor and
dredge at each one to the extreme Eva
end Of the harbor In some parts this
work has not been done for "A number
of years, and the bottom Is appreciably
higher than it was after the last dredg-
ing out
At all the wharves there is more or
less accumulation of coal, ballast, etc,
month after month At the Pacific
Mail wharf some months ago an old
native who was a good swimmer and
diver made a living by diving down the
2S or 80 feet into the water and bringing
up chunks Of coal from the bottom. For
days he kept at it, repeating at inter-
walls Of a few minutes his remarkable
feat of going to the bottom i'm about 30
feet of water with no diving apparatus,
ana he was never seen to come up with
out a good chunk Of coal showing that
the lost pieces, large and small. must
have been well distributed over the
bottom.
Chunks Of ballast have fallen over in
the same way, and mud has collected
all over the harbOT. gradual filling
up takes place from at least two sources
Every heavy rain undoubtedly carries
much mud into the harbOr from Nuu-
anu stream, which when swollen by
mountain downpours, is always a
murky stream that makes dirty all the
water Of the harbor. on the other side
good kona storm tends to fill up the
channel
There have been one or two cases late
~ In which transports and other deep
steamers have stuck in the mud during
low tiHe and the danger OF a serious IN
eldent or the kind Is not remote. Every
Dig steamer that comes into the harbor
stlrs up quantity Of mud as she works
her propellers, anywhere from the
mouth Of the channel 10 the Eva end
or the harbor, showing that the muddy
bottom Is near. Vessels have stuck at
the railroad wharves and I'm some cases
even In the middle Of the harbor. A
snip or steamer once firmly stuck I'm this
way might have to unload at great ex-
pehse before she could get off

UNITED STATES IURfS
ONE OF THEM WAS OUT ALI
NIGHT.
The other Retired to Deliberate This
Morning-Didiculty Found in Arriving
At Verdict.

The United States court had two
juries out at once this morning, one
having been out all night and most of
yesterday without any change in the
vote from the first, and the other be-
ing sent out soon after nine o'clock to-
day. The jury that was out all night
was in the Rodrigues and Miralda
adultery case. This morning the jurors
came into court and asked for further
instructions.
Foreman Motley reported that the
jury could not come to any agreement
and stood the same as ever. juror
Chamberlain wanted the indictment
read again and another juror wanted the
written copy of the courts instructions
turned over to the jury. The court al
lowed both requests and then gave
some further instructions as to the ad-
INSTABILITY of testimony regarding a
marriage.
There don't seem to be any reason
in the mind of the court why the jury
should not agree" said Judge Estee
THE court doesn't mean to express an
opinion either way, but it don't see any
reason why you should not agree" The
jurors retired again. 1t was reported
that they were disagreeing over the evil
dence as to Rodriguez marriage.
The second jury out was in the cases

JUDGE WILCOX TO STOP BATTERY
CASES.
Says That Fines do Not Prevent Peo-

Natives Get Two Months.

Judge Wilcox is determined to put a
stop to assault and battery cases. This
morning he sentenced two natives to
Imprisonment at hard labor for two
months for such an offence and yesteT-
for assault and battery
The case this morning, was that
against Kaloma and Koilikoi who We're
accused of beating a white man namea
Blake, Last week Blake wandered TO 6
native luau, which was in progress on
Nuuanu street. During the course of IL
the defendants began to beat a wOman
who was the wife Of one of them. Blake,
chivalrous to a degree, but ill-advised,
stepped in between the native and
the wahine The result was that
Kaloma and Kolikoi turned their
attention to Blake. He was beaten bad
ly and taken into the bed of Nuuanu
stream and there put to sleep" for a
few minutes by the severe handling
which the natives gave him.
AS the result Of his injuries, Blake
was confined to the hospital for some
days, and not until this morning, was
he able to appear in court to testify
against the defendants.
"These assault and battery cases will
have to stop" remarked the court 81

does not appear to do any good. The

OPERA HOUSE SOLD OUT
OPENING PERFORMANCE TICK
ETS SOLD WELL.
The sale of Seats for the Opening Per-
a Big Crowd in Attendance.

Almost every seat in the Opera
House is sold for the opening perfor-
nance next Saturday evening. The
sale of season tickets closed yesterday
afternoon, this sale being very sue
cessful.
The sale of seats for the opening
night began this morning at 8 o'clock
with a long line of buyers leading up
to the ticket case at Wall, Nichols
Company. Buyers were given number
ed tickets as they made their appear
ance and tickets were sold to pur-
chasers in the order of the numbers
on their tickets, it being impracticable
to form a line.
The sale proceeded very rapidly and
by IL o'clock scarcely two seats to-
gether could be purchased in any part
of the house. BY noon most of the
scattering seats had been sold. 1t is
almost certain that every seat in the
house will be sold long before the
opening night.
The inquiry for seats for other per-
formances during the season was con-
siderable, so that the outlook for the
entire season is good. These inquiries
were usually based on some preference
in the inquirer for a particular play
or set of plays, and so thus early is
beginning to be shown the popular Sc
lections from the repertoire.

Misunderstanding Trip of the Mi

The last trip of the Mikahala to
Kauai was the most exciting Captain
Gregory and his crew have eXperien-

talists went up to Mcl3ryde plantation
and shot sky rockets off the hurricane
deck of the steamer on the way
The steamer left Honolulu last
Thursday ana about a. m. Friday
morning All You, the Chinese fireman
on watch, became demented by the
heat in the fire room and, deserting his
post, wandered up on deck. Second
Assistant Engineer James Wilkinson
did not notice the absence of the Chi
nese for a minute or So but as soon as
he did learn that the fellow was miss
ing, he called another Chinese to take
the watch, and went in search of the
missing All You
The Chinese was found i'm the port
alleyway, jabbering at quite rate.
He was led back toward his quarters
by Mr.. Wilkinson but broke away and
ran to the side of the vessel and tried
to jump overheard. Wilkinson caught
him again and some of the sailors took
charge Of the Chinese, whereupon the
demented fellow began to cry out.
"Haulee lay Abastee 'lere. Damn
ed haole puttee me in boat. Me drown.
Heap haid."
The Chinese created such a disturb
ance that Captain Gregory was arous-
ed from his nightly study of Dooley' $
philosophy and, with 'Hennessey'
Friel, to the rescue, went art to learn
the cause of the disturbance. All You
was finally quieted and put into his
bunk. He gave no further trouble dur
ing the voyage, but was unable to work

MORE BIRTHS THAN DEATHS
THIS MONTH.
Nine Successful Prosecutions for Fail
ure to Report Births on Maui and
Hawaii

For the month OF November the
births reported in Honolulu are ahead
of the deaths, which Is a most unusual
state of affairs. Last months low
death record is more than keeping up.
and the number Of births De- ahead.
There were IA births and only ~ deaths
reported up TO yesterday This ma
be in part due 10 the more complete
reporting Of births since the Board OF
Health began TO prosecute in cases or
failure TO make report, but the fact Of
the low death rate is evident neverthe-
less.
On Maui and Hawaii nine cases
have been prosecuted in which par
ents failed to make report Of births.
Seven were on Maui. The births were
sent in by Dr. McConkey, the govern
ment physician at MakaWao. Regis
trar Henderson sent word back that
they were reported too late and sug-
gesting that the parties responsible be
prosecuted. DR.. McConkey took action
and fine of 81 and costs was imposed
in each case. Ia Puma district the
same course was taken in two cases.
with the same result, by Or. Holland.
Registrar Henderson proposes TO con-
tinue the same policy all over the
Islands.

DR.. McConkey Of Maui has suggested
that notices be sent out at frequent
intervals throughout all the districts,
calling attention TO the requirement of
the law that government physicians
be notified Of births, deaths, etc. This
vii probably be done.

NO IMMEDIATE DANGER FROM
'YOODPECKERs.
Commissioner Taylor is only Making
Inquiries at Present-Transportation
Presents a Knotty Problem.

Commissioner Wray Taylor has as yet
made no definite connections for bring
ing woodpeckers to the islands and says
that the whole affair Is purely in an
experimental stage.
"The idea Of woodpeckers as a means
of annihiation or at least a partial pre-
ventive against the bOrers," said Mr..
Taylor, was first suggested to me by
Professor Koebele as a possible means
of getting rid of those insects. l i'm
mediately began making inquiries and
at the suggestion of Jared Smith wrote
to the distinguished head of the de-
partment at Washington for his Opt
Mon, not as a court of last resort but
as a part of a systematic inquiry. Be-
yond that stage nothing has been done.
IF from the opinion of the Territorial
entomologist, Professor Koebele and
from other enquiries we decide that
Woodpeckers are needed, why we shall
try and get them here. The people VINO
have so vigorously objected to the in
PRODUCTION of this bird are the ones who
have under cover of scientific research
and desire for complete sets of speci-
mems, done more to denude Hawaiian
forest of their feathered creatures than
generations of the old time bird catch
ers The woods are silent now and the
bringing over of woodpecllers or any
bird would destroy the calm of the
glades where once was heard the chirp
of the native birds and seen the flash OF
their plumage as they flew from bough
to bough.
1--WE have had many offers from
woodpecker sources of supply. Some of
them, the downy variety for example,
have been the wrong kind. Some have
proved too expensive. One man Of
fered to deliver them at the railway
station for one dollar a bird, to say
nothing of the risk and the freight
"As the woodpecker is entirely in
sectivorous, feeding him en- route pre-
sents grave difficulties to getting him
here at all providing he would settle
down and acclimatise himself once he
arrived. Jared Smith suggested yester-
day that possibly the best way would
be to send for the eggs and then in
cubate them. However the whole af-
fair is in a very embryonic stage and
no fears need be entertained of our
forests being in any immediate danger
of being ravaged and laid waste and
desolate by the Introduction of the ter
rible woodpecker The situation is at
present like the first sentence in the old
cookery recipes First, catch your hare
