THE MOLOKIA NAG.

ssMololkia horses are jumpers" said MT Larsen of the Union Express Go. "They are not only jumpers, but they must be athletes, their skill no doubt having come from jumping palis on Molokai. I have one that performed a feat yesterday, the like of which I will challenge the world to reproduce" :" This is4the story as told by Mir Lar sen and several spectators who saw the occurrence yesterday afternoon at about 3 o'clock.
 It seems that the express company received q raw boned animal of Mol okai few days ago and thinking 10 infuse some degree of strength into his legs, MT Larsen had him taken to the stables and there for three or four days had him fed up on the very best that could be offered. The animal showed some signs of returning activi- ty yesterday and so he was hitched up.
 William, a native, was placed on the wagon as the driver, and, between 2 and o'clock, he was sent out on job on School street. William logged along sedately until the School street bridge (Waikahalulu) was reached Something ill it's appearance seemed to attract the horse, for he suddenly bolted and made for it with q rush. William lost control, threw up his hand and cried: "Auwe, lele ana keia lio ka pali." Great Scottl This animal is about to jump over a preci- pice).
 There was no time for the driver to jump. Before he knew it the horse had sweryed aside and, with one mighty bound, had reached the level of the stream below, a distance If something like fifteen feet On the brink above stood a number of people and on their heads stood their hair-up on end. No one dared to look over for fear of what they might see.
 Finally one of the crowd mustered up enough courage to look and what he did see nearly knocked him over anyway. There was the horse stand ing uninjured and William sitting on the seat. He wasn't smoking cigar cite or reading a paper, but he was there.
 The only damage done was the breaking of back axle and a slight injury to the front one. This reads like romance, but it isn't. A realiza- tion of what had happened came home to MT Larsen and a corps of assist ants when they finally succeeded three hours later in getting the wagon up on the road again. Honolulu Bulletin.

Living Tree. for Telegraph-role..


 On the telegraph line that is being constructed through eastern Africa from Cairo to the Cape of1Good Hope living trees, instead of cut poles, have been used over long distances in order to escape the ravages of white ants, which attack the poles but not the trees. The latter are planted along the line, with their branches cut off. They readily take root, and only need to have their branches trimmed from time to time. The wires are affixed by means of tarred cords of hemp, which serve in place of insnla tors. It is the intention to eventually replace the trees with iron poles, which have al- ready been substituted on part of the line. ' outh's Companion.

TON OF GRAND JURY.
UNhBLE TO FURNISH BOND
Man Accused of Passing Counterfeit
Money May Be Imprisoned Until
September-Says His Attempt to Get
Rid Of Gold Coin Was a Joke
Witnesses Testify Against Him.

United States Commissioner Wood this
morning bound over j. w. Percy, alias
George Allen to await the action of the
grand jury on a charge of passing coun-
terfeit money. Bond was fixed at $1,000
and as Percy cannot possibly give 1t his
chances Of remaining in Jail until next
September are good.
Ralph BasSet, q messenger boy, tes-
tihed that he answered a call and was
sent to get beer by the defendant. The
latter rendered him a ten dollar gold
piece but he saw at once 1t was counter
felt and refused to take it. Then Percy
gave him some good money and he got
the beer.
Defendant asked if 1t was not on the
second call, when he sent for sand
wiches that he offered Basset the coun-
terfeit coin, after he had been drink
ing beer. The object of the question was
to show that Percy was Intoxicated and
did not knowingly give bad money. Bas-
set stuck to his original statement.
Irene Monroe testified that she got
a coin in exchange for $40 when she
paid for drinks at the NJ. & NJ, bowling
alley. She said she asked Percy if he
could pass it for her and he said he
could after he had doctored it up little

MINER ROBBED BY A WOMAN
Henry Rode Visits a House in the
bad Lands" and Is Re
lieved of $40.

Henry Rode, an old miner, who has
been employed at the Parrot mine, wan
dered into the bad lands" last night
while under the influence of intoxicants
and the experience he encountered cost
him six $50 bills and a small amount OF
silver
While passing the shack, known to the
police as Hattie Hardn's," a negress
came to the doorway ana asked him to
enter. Rode did SO and now he admits
that the chOlocate compleXioned damsel
wa stOO much for him. He stayed there
but short time and when he departed
discovered that his wallet, containing q
little more than $120, was missing.
He returned to the shack and demand
ed admittance. The door was locked and
he was unable to receibe an answer to
his knocks. Then he went TO police hear
quarters and told his tale.
The house was dark last night; the bird
had flown. The police do not know tn.
identity of the woman whom r de af'eg IS
took his money, but they are keeping
lookout for her. Rode found Police Judge
Sullivan and related his story this morn
ing but was infol med that nothing could
be done until the identity of the woman
was discovered and her whereabouts
learned.

FIGHTING FOR THE MINNIE HEALY

W. w. Wishon testified today in the
hearing of the cross complaint of F. A.
Heinze in the suit brought by Miles
Finlen against Mr.. Heinze to recover
possession Of the Minnie Healy mine.
He said that prior to the time Heinze
took possession of the property he, the
witness, had been acting as suprintend
ent of the mine for Finlen. and that
after Heinze assumed control he had
been instructed by Finlen to go into the
workings once in while and Sc to it
that the work was being properly per-
formed. This he had done.
The witness also spoke Of the arrange
ment for paying the workmen. He said
that when Finlen was operating the
property the employees had been paid
through the Hennessy store. He had
taken the property and MacGinnis had
told him to let it go on as it had beeil
and the M. o. p. company would make
the amount good.
AS near as witness Guild remember he
had not given Heinze possession. Fin
len was in nominal possession but
Heinze was in actual possession.
The witness further said he had ceased

ing been in the room when the effort
to pass the money on the messenger boy
was made. She said substantially the
same as the other woman. She said the
affair took place two weeks ago Tues
day. The Monroe woman and Bessie
Radcliffe, or Bessie Lotus as she is bet
ter known, were in the room the wit
ness said. She saw no bills or notes
in the possession of the defendant.
In his own behalf Percy said he did
it all for joke. He wanted to get pet"
ter acquainted with the girls he said.
After hearing the testimony of wit
ncsses, Inspector Bell said there was not
evidence enough to convict the defend
ant; that it was SO flimsy, case could
not be made against the man and that
he should be released.
Commissioner Wood took different
view evidently. Then Inspector Bell
showed him the counterfeit coin ana
explained how impossible it would have
been for the defendant to have doctored
it. He gave little dissertation on coin
making and then Commissioner WoeS
looked up authorities and bound the de-
PENDANT over. On request Of the inspec-
tor the two women were allowed to go
on their own recognzance, Inspector
Bell making himself personally respon-
sible for their appearance when wanted.
The inspector said that Percy would
probably be allowed to go on his own
recognizance. He said he would try
to arrange it with. the district attorney
himself There are so many cases to
come before the grand jury when ii
meets in Helena next month that the
case of Percy will probably go over un-
til the September session.

1892
Relative to the condition of the mine
at the time Heinze took it. Wishon said
that James Macfarlane, George H. Rob-
inson and himself had visited the co.,
foot level and found it covered with mu1
and a clean up was the first work done.
WAS there any ore there then?' was
asked.
Yes; but it was small factor, being
principally pyrites. After the level was
cleaned the crOsscut was continue"
south quite ways and some exp!o-
ration was done near the crOss-cut o..
what 1 would call the south vein. My
impression is that considerable pyrites
was taken out before they reached ore
in paying quantities. The vein carrie
a great deal of iron. When we first cut
it there was a little glance. The crosa-
cut south, l think, was carried beyond
the side line Of the Minnie Healy.'
when was it you had the talk with
Mr. MacGinnis about paying the me: =:
asked Mr.. Walsh.
ut must have been shortly after they
took hold of the property"
This afternoon the accounts Kept III
connection with the operation or the
mine were examined in court.

MURDER OF FIVE CHILDREN.
Two Tramps Kills -Four Girls and n hoy
and Attempt the Fathers Life.

Chartrcs. France, April 23.-This
town has been Mortified by the brutal
murder of five children and the at
tempted murder of their father, n
farmer named Bricrc. residing in the
ncighborhoOd of Chartres. Two
tramps entered the farm house in the
absence of Brere, last evening. and
killed four girls, aged II, II. > and 4
and boy years old with knives
and .cudgcls while they were in bed.
and apparently asleep. Briere re-
turned while the murlcrcrs were rob
hing the house. They heard him en-
ter the courtyard, attacked him. and
after n desperate struggle left him for
dead. with four stab wounds I'm the
head. The murderers then escaped

objects of value,
