ASSAULTS THREE
NATIVE SOLDIERS
And Will now Have to Answer
For, His Offence Before
Judge Wilcox.

Last Friday evening youth of gem
erous proportions, by name Barney JOY,
out-Jeffried Jeffries by meeting and
knocking out on the floor of the drill
shed three individuals in more or less
pronounced state of wooziness, by
name F. Beckert, F. White and A.
Lunggren.
All the participants in the affray are
wall but do not belong to the same
company. There had been trouble at
the drill shed during the afternoon and
it seems that JOY took up another
mans quarrel and in the evening
sought to bring matters to an issue.
Patiently he waited for his victims
to leave their company room. Present
ly one of the men appeared, in a state
resembling blind staggers. Biff! went
the muscular Barney's fist and No. l
went down and out.
No sooner had No. 2 rolled out Of the
room when the truculent Joy handed
him brace of hot ones on the chart
and put him out of commission.
No. Jared no better and experienced
may time when Joy gave him the
Iron Works upper cut
When the victims of the ARRAY re-
covered the use of their think-tanks
they ran down to the police. station and
exhibited a bunch Of black eyes, broken
noses and bfmaculated ears to the
Deputy Sheriff. who forthwith made 1t
his business to issue a r. s. v. P. to
the man with the merry mits.
Joy will have try-out with Judge
Wilcox this morning. when his claims
to the local assault and battery cham
pionship will be thoroughly investi-
gated.

BUSINESS OF
THE COUNCIL
Chambers Is Reporte,
Among Horses Of
Kihei.

Chambers is reported to have broken
out among the horses of Kihei planta-
ton. Superintendent of Public Works
McCandleSS is in receipt of a letter
from the plantation veterinarian saying
that the disease was supposed to be
CHAMBERS but he was not positive about
it. He requested that the Government
send the Territorial veterinarian to XII
hei to make an investigation. The mat
ter was considered by the Governors
Council yesterday morning and it was
decided that if the plantation will pay
all the veterinarians expenses they can
have the benefit of his services.
Mr. McCandless also brought up the
old matter of the Rapid Transit Street
Railway Company desiring to extend
it's line through the proposed extension
of Queen street to it's junction with
Waikiki road. The Council took no ac-
ton in the matter beyond recommend
ing to the promoters of the road that il
they can gain the promise of the prop-
erty owners for the right of way they
can do so and go ahead with the prop
osition. The company has already re-
ceived the promise of every property
holder along the proposed right and the
delay in starting the laying Of track
has been due to not bringing them to-
gether and deciding upon what course
to pursue. Another meeting of the pro-
moters and the heads of departments
was held yesterday afternoon to con-
slider the same matter. This will leave
Ala Moana, or the Beach Road, free
to be made into a driving boulevard
unhampered by the presence of rails.

From the first the Advertiser has held
that the House should and probably
would keep Wilcox in his seat. He has
done nothing to warrant Congress IN
leaving Hawaii without a Delegate. In
the event of his expulsion the natives
would have reelected him and put him
where he was before, so the proposed
measures against him meant wasted
time for the sake of feeding personal
spite. That Wilcox amounts to nothing
at Washington does not qualify his
right to be there.

The most important foreign news in
this paper today is that of the curt and
perhaps insulting refusal of the Chi

ing the complete conquest of China,

think that Won Waldersee will go

Red Fork. 7 T., June 26.-The greatest
oil well ever found west OF the Missis-
sippi river. was discovered here this morn
ing when Pennsylvania oil men found
gusher Of yellow oil that went over
100 feet in the air and that still gushes
TO very high altitude. The oil is as clear
as can be and the men who are doing the
boring state that it is the greatest wen
IN America and they are convinced that
Il VIII continue to develop. 1t is csI-
mated that the now is now about 5000
barrels per day and the driliers are hay
ing a food Of oil about their works that
the ycannot restrain.
On the discovery of the well there came
to the scene hundreds Of farmers, labor
ers. ana railroad men and there is a grea-
ter population IL Red Fork now than

Eusher is composed Of Pennsylvanians
