Numerous Small Flres.

On last Saturday evening a fire wa
seen on the mountains near Kahakr
.oa- Small fires were seen during tn
day in different parts and in the even
ing there was nice scene of fires be
| yond Waihee. A report was then cur
rent that there were several fores
fires in that district, but upon inquIry
/ through the telephone. these report:
proved to be without foundation. A
! fire started in a forest on Maui causes
considerable CONSERVATION. and almost
as soon as a fire IS seen. il is check.
ed Maui people do not care
to see a repetition of the Hama
kua fire. and hence the alarm when a
fire is heard of. There have been nc
fires lately on the slopes of Haleakala.
Maui Has Rain.
Several rains have fallen in Wailuku
district the past few days. There
were showers nearly every evening.
although much more is desired. The
weather is cloudy now and it looks
like more rain. There was another
shower this morning.
A Robbery.
Hans Amundsen. manager of the Bis
marck Stables, was very unfortunate
man last Saturday evening in that he
was robbed of Sos, $50 in coin and the
balance In a note. According to Hans
statement Manuel R. Coelho. who was
an intimate friend of his, is to blame
for the theft Hans states that on
last Saturday evening he went to a
luau given at the corner of Vineyard
and Chapel lane. and admits that he
was a little under the influence OF
liquor. He was also at T. B. Lyons
new saloon where he had a few glasses
of efferyescent waters, but Hans says
that he knew just what he was about
and where he was. He had also treat
ed Coelho to a glass at the same time.
Mr. Lyons then told Hans that it
would be better for him to go home,
and Hans thereupon proceeded home.
but Coelho insisted on seeing that
Hans did get home. Hans however
wanted to go home without any help.
From this II can be inferred that Hans
must have been pretty much under
the influence of intoxicants. However,
when Hans got home Coelho was still
with him. according to Hans state
ment. and as he (Hans Amundsen)
was feeling verv tired. he fell in bed
at once. Hans got up the next morn
ing and found that he was Sos short
and upon further investigation. he was
inclined to believe that Coelho had
gotten hold of this treasure. On the
following Monday Coelho was at the
Aloha Saloon giving complimentary
drinks to his friends. and this aroused
a little suspicion on the part of Hans
Amundsen. Coelho was arrested the
following dav pending an investiga-
ton Hans states that he has known
Coelho for eighteen years. and that
his character is not of the best. Coel-
no was arrested only recently on a
charge of larceny in that he stole sew
eral pigs from a ranch at Makawao.
He was found guilty and convicted
Coelho's side of the present case has
not vet been heard. and an entirely
different story may be told.
