SUICIDE AT KANEOHE THAT WAS
NOT A SUICIDE.
Spaniards Wife Runs Away and He
Feigns Karikari to Bring Her Back
His Story.

Anthony Lee, a South American
created little sensation near Kaneohe
yesterday. He came near having q
coroners jury working over him al
though he was far from dead AS a
matter of fact the policeman i'm charge
there during the absence of Deputy
Sheriff Frank Pahia actually subpoened
jury and had it ready for business.
Lee had had family troubles. His
wife ran away yesterday with another
man. Some of the neghbors, while
talking over the line fence, said that
she was stolen or abducted. Lees Ideas
at the time are not known but he de-
termined upon a piece of strategy to-
bring back the lady. Striking
himself in the nose he caused the blood
to flow. Taking the blood he smeared
it all over his clothes above the abdo-
men. He then took a knife and cut
straight across through his clothes
above the stomach and then put blood
on his stomach beneath. He thereupon
laid down to Idle"
The dying" man was discovered by
natives. Naturally they became very
much excited. When the police arriv-
ed he found Lee in great pain, as it
were, and apparently at the point OF
| death. He was made as comfortable
as possible There was no time to send
for doctor The next thought of the
policeman was a coroner's jury, and
he prepared a list of names.
In the meanwhile, however, Lee took
a little more life and the fake came
out.
Over the telephone this morning Lee
made this explanation. but refused to-
say any more: II love my wife. She
ran away from me and l did this thing
to bring her back"
Asked of he would likely be arrested
for the trick he played on the police
he said that he thought he would not
be. He added that the police were now
helping him to recover the errant lady.

JURORS MADE A NCK|DVORG FROM KUNALAE
soDERGREN JURY APPEALS TO
WASHINGTON.
Seven Sea Captains and Mates to be
Tried as sodergren Was, Arraigned
This Morning.

The seven captains and mates who
are to appear before Judge Estee and
a Jury in the next lot of cases OF aileg-
ed cruelty on the high seas, in spe-
cial Jury term, were all arraigned TINS
morning and given time to plead. The
last term ended with a sudden dis
charge of the jury, after sensational
roast by District Attorney Baird, VINO
declared that the jurors were preJudic-
ed against the federal government and
would not give its case fair hearing.
They acquitted CAPTAIN Sodergren on a
second charge, after finding him guilty
once, and Baird nolie pressed his other
cases and brought the term to an end,
having the jury dismissed as unwill-
ing to be fair.
The members of the jury that were
so attacked have sent memorial to
Washington on the subject, and it is
expected that Baird's speech will be
heard from again Several of them are
Grand Army men and they each one
got on his ear at being declared pre-
JUDGED against the United States,
They have sent their side of the case
to the Department of Justice at Wash
ington and think that Baird will hear
of me matter again.
In the present cases a jury is to be
drawn under similar circumstances and
exactly the same issue will be presented
as to crediting the evidence of sailors
against their officers. The seven men
arraigned are Captain George A. Baker,
of the ship Emily Reed, his First Mate
Charles Mcdonald and Second Mate
John Kernes; Captain Albert Wallace
of the bark Sea King and Second Mate
Charles Albert; Captain r. M. Tapley
of the bark st. James and First Mate
c. Mccarthy. With the exception of
the Sea King cases, in which Attorney
w. A. Kinney appears for lie defense
the cases went over till tomorrow MORN
ing. Tom Fitch represents the defen-
dants and will enter a demurrer to
some of the charges. The Sea King de-
PENDANTS will plead on Thursday morn
ing.
The cases of the four sailors of the
c. d. Bryant, F. Hansen, G. Reid, II
Forst and r. Schroeder, charged with
deserting the vessel in time of peril,
were postponed until Thursday morn
ing, as the men are without counsel
Judge Estee will appoint counsel.

'WTOMOLOG|S'S TRALSTAE SENATE MEETS TODAY.
DIFFICULTIES IN GATHERING
SPECIMENS.
The Entomologically Unexplored Re-
gion is up Above 1900 Feet and it is
Very Hard to Get There

Professor Koebele returned on Satur-
day from bug-collecting expedition
to Waialua. bringing back with him
considerable collection of new insects.
He is, engaged in making a general
collection of insects. assisting the De-
partment of Entomology at Washing
ton in getting its collection of Hawai-
ian insects. Curator Ashmead, of the
National Museum, is now on Hawaii
doing the same work.
The collection of native Hawaiian in
sects is peculiarly difficult, owing t.
the nature of the forests on the noun
tain slopes. The insects to be found on
lower grounds have all been secured
long ago and are in the Professors col
lection, but the nature of the territory
to be gone over makes further addi-
tions to the collection very hard.
"It is almost impossible to get at the
land over 1900 feet above sea-level," "
said Professor Koebele 1.-The only way
to climb is up some stream and it is
next to impossible to penetrate the lam
tana.
"The insects in the lower districts
are not many of them native to Ha-
waii, most of them having been intro
duced here. The new varieties are high
in the mountains"
Professor Koebele brought back with
him several jars full of moths. wasps
and others. They were caught by net
many of them at night time, in Wal
alua mountain districts.
AS a sample of the extreme difficulty
of the work Professor Koebele says
! that in a recent trip he was obliged to
wade up stream up to his neck, with
Ashmead and Perkins. The entomolo-
gists kept on and secured some needed
specimens. The only way to climb uI
such places as Pauoa valley. away
from the road, is up the stream at the
bottom of the valley.

HABEAs CORPUS FOR PAHIA.
Writ Issued at Noon Made ReturnabIe
At 2. NJ.

Chief Justice w. f. Frear signed at
noon at writ of habeas corpus in the
interest of Deputy Sheriff Frank Pahia.
of Koolaupoko, who was confined in
Oahu Jail by orders of Judge Gear ON
Saturday for contempt of court, The
writ is made returnable before Judge
Gear at 4 O'Clock this afternoon. As a
jury trial is on, the case will have to
go over until some time late tomorrow
or Wednesday. A. G.. NJ. Robertson
will move for bail for his client, which
will almost without doubt be allowed.
The bringing of the case before the
Judge that sentenced the prisoner is L
bit unusual but is not without prece-
dent and Is legal. 1t is to be done on
motion of the prisoner, through his at
torney. 1t amounts to review of the
matter by ordinary procedure. One of
the defenses to be put up is that the
young woman whose land was sold by
j. M Poepoa the guardian, was over
eighteen years of age at the time Of
sale and therefore of legal majority
although the guardian had not been
formally discharged

W HlLE DEMENTED
Unfortunate Woman Shoots Her
self Through The Breast at,
The Home OF Her Parents
This Morning, Inilict-
ing Death Wound

While suffering from the hide
Gus torments of puerperal mania,
which had followed the first sweet
ioy of motherhood. Mrs. Charley
Martin sought relief in death, at
the home of her parents, this morn
ing, by shooting herself through
the breast iuflicting fatal wound.
The ball entering in line with
the heart coureed straight through
thebody ofth- unfortunate woman,
periorating the lung and il is feared
touching the heart. Drs. Fortner
and Bagby were summoned at
once to the bedside bat the fiutter-
ing pulse aod labored respiration
offered no hope Of recovery and
her death is but question OF
hours.
The tragedy of this morning is
the awful elimination of succee-
sion OF affections that have been
visited upon the unfortunate vic
tim during the past few weeks.
Less than six weeks ago the pretty
home was blessed by the advent
of eon, the first born, and the
mother heart was thrilled with
that Joy that another alone knows.
This happiness was but Of day.
The awful mania followed quickly
robbing ige victim OF her new
found Joy.
A close watch has been main
tanned since the fret evidence OF a
dethroned reason, to prevent any
attempt to do herselfinjury. This
morning che was in an improved
condition and appeared perfectly
rational.
She was able TO leave her bed
and went into an adjoining room
where she conversed for a while
with her mother, Mrs. A. B. G.
Allen, and Mrs. Peden Tolbert,
who had assisted in ncrsing her
through her illness. Complaining
Of fatiOue she returned 10 her room,
and her mother closed the door
between the apartments TO prevent
any noises disturbing her rest.
A moment later the pistol shot
was heard and rushing into the
room the distracted mother found
her lying ON the floor with a
CHASTITY wound in her beast, while
a revolver with the pungent smoke
still curling from the barrel, lay
in The pool Of blood that had gush-
ed rom the wound.
Medical aid was at once sum-
moned but the bullet had almost
completed It's deadly mission and
no hope was given of recovery.
The unfortunate woman is the
only daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. A.
B. c. Allen ard with her husband,
Charley Martin, bad lived with
them since their marriage.
The awful ending Of a life so full
OF promise has cast gloom over
the entire community and the sym
pasby Of al is extended TO the
family in their terrible sfiliction.

ES TIMATED COST

tees.
The estimated cost incident to

OF lobby there during the pres
ent congress is 5000. and the
committee will attempt the raising
of this amount.
Letters received reeeatly from
members of congress in different
states said that beyond the intro
duction Of bills it would be un-

work before that time. The fol-
lowing persons were appointed as

ter, McAlester.

ion that about $1,000 would be
needed this winter. 1t was order
ed that half of this be raised by
! December Is and sent to Mr.. Nc.
Alester. The delegation to Wash
ing,on was given authority to en-
list the services of all who are will
ing to assist in the work.

IT SOUNDS IMPROBABLE
Life OF . Bueyrus Man Said To
Be Saved In . Peculiar
Manner.

Bucyrus, o., July 11.-Rudolph
Weichold, of this city, has small dog
which saved his life In a peculiar way.
Weichold while in the performance Of
his duties at the ROehr mill, overstrain-
ed himself, and suffered rupture in
the abdomen. Doctors decided to per-
form an operation as last resort.
Weichold had pet dog, which during
his sickness was always at his bedside.
In preparing for the operation the dog
was fastened in the back part of the
house. The patient was prepared for
the ordeal, and some one accidentally
liberated the dog, and before he could
be stopped he bounded into the sick
room and jumped frantically upon the
PROSTATE form of his master. The dog
landed fairly and squarely upon the
rupture. The patient was partially
under the influence Of an opiate, and
the excruciating pain was PARTLY dead
ened. The family was badly frightened,
and took the dog away.
It was found that the Jar of the dog
upon the rupture had pressed II back
into it's normal position, and entirely
removed the trouble. When the doc
tors arrived q few minutes later the
operation was not necessary.

Workmen on Bixler Farm
Receive Injuries.
CAN OF OIL |GN|TED
BY Explosion Of Gas--Men Were
Working In an Excavation
and Could Not
Escape.

Joseph Snyder, John Cocklin and Mr..
Braucher were badly burned at the gas
we'll on the Henry Bixler farm, six
miles north of Canton, at 4 o'clock
Wednesday. Two Of the men were
working down in an excavation at the
well at a depth Of twenty-five feet try
ing to get the flow Of water into the
proper channel to supply a spring which
had gone dry when the well was drill
ed for gas. Snyder and Braucher were
in the we'll and Mr.. Cocklin was letting
down a can filled with oil to be used to
oil the pump. When the can was about
half the way down, there was an explo-
sion and the oil ignited. Mr.. Snyder
was badly burned about his hands and
face and his eyes are swollen shut. His
injuries are very painful and quite SER
ious. The other two men escaped with
less serious injuries.
The origin Of the fire is mystery.
The pump was being run by gas, and it
is thought some escaping gas took FIRE.
but in what manner is not known, as
there was no fire near.
