Fad a Narrow Escape.

Advertiser Bureau, Selma, June "A.
 On Sunday morning last while Messrs. Bill and John Shannahan were taking a drive they came near meeting a watery grave at Shakelford's g did not notice the sign that had been posted on both sides of the creek, marked Dangerous" and drove into the creek unsuspecting- ly. The high waters of the past spring have washed this ford out to a depth of six or eight feet. and as soon as the horse walked in he plunged into water over his depth and commenced to swim.
 The animal managed, to swim across the daep pool and draw the buggy af- ter him, but when he attempted to struggle out on the opposite side the seat gave way and both the Shanna- hans were precipitated into the deep water behind them. The seat split off and they were caught under the top of the buggy as they went under, and they say 1t seems to them that 1t was full half an hour before they man. aged to get from under the buggy top and reach the surface again. .a
 When they did come to the top of the water they were black in the face for want of breath and a struggle then commenced to reach land and save themselves from drowning. They fln- ally reached land in an exhausted con- dition, while the horse pulled out on the opposite shore with part of the buggy attached to him.
 Capt. Jshn Shannahan Is the popu- lar Street Superintendent of Selma, while MT. Bill Shannahan Is a we'll known employe of the Southern shops in this city. They are both sons of Old Erin, but are no kin, and they have been the recipients of many congratu- lations today upon their escape from watery grave.
 A wire fence should be built across tn road to Shackelford's ford, to pre- vent other people from driving into the treacherous waters.

BLACKMAIL AND DEFAMATION
OF CHARACTER
Doesn't Want Kukekakaulani and
More Claimants About to Appear.

a very warm answer has been made
by j. Alfred Magoon to the suit of l<u-
kekakaulani and kui for cancellation
of deed to about four acres of land
for which plaintiffs alleged they made
deed thinking it to be a mortgage
The answer declares that Magoon didn't
want the land anyhow, that it is not
worth what he gave, has a doubtful
title that is about to be contested and
that he would gladly have called the
bargain off if the plaintiffs had not
tried to blackmail him. incidentally
the answer opens up a prospect of
three-cornered litigation over the re-
suits of a freak will, which Magoon
alleges constitute plaintiffs only title
The Will, which was made by former
wife of Kukekakaulani, is given as fol-
lows:
Il also bequeath to my said wife
my heirs and blood relations not to
have any property interest after me,
then interest shall come after my said
wife, and her heirs i'm case our heirs
shall suitably support and care for the
one that shall be on the land, but in
case our heirs shall not suitably sup
port and care for us, then they shall
have no interest i'm the property Chat
isl in case our heirs do not keep the
provisions of this will the one upon the
property can sell and convey the same
in case our heirs do not provide suit
able support and care for her i'm her
old age: but i'm case the one on the
property shall be suitably supported
and cared for, then they shall have no
right to sell and convey, with ri~ht to
lease, and the receipts shall go to her
and all the receipts and benefits shall
be hers"
1t now appears that the "other heirs"
are after the piece of land and will
make the fight three-cornered accord
ing to the defendants answer On
June is, Magoon says, he received
letter from Achi Johnson and Kahau-
lelio. containing a simple demand"
that he cancel the deed in question
Defendant says he didn't want the
deed, but preferred to submit to litiga-
ton that was an effort to blacken his
character rather than submit to black
mail. He had aided the plaintiffs, but
they had repaid him with ingratitude
and deception. The woman once got
$50 out of him by yarn that her hus-
band was about to be sent to Molokai
as leper, whereas he was never sus-
pected of being one.
Now the defendant proposes to hang
on and scrap and he submits a state
ment of accounts showing that the
property for seven years has only real
lied 40 per cent per annum on the
$500 alleged by plaintiffs to have been
a loan. The deciding of the property
was by wish of plaintiffs, who are al
legged to be intelligent in business mat
ters, and MagOon AYERS That this ex-
preston of their wish in this regard
came wholly unsolicited by this defen-
dant to which, believing it to be for
the best interests of plaintiffs mas
much as they would by such an ar
rangement have their d bit paid and at
the same time have a pace to live il
for their lives"

THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
Current Expense Considered and Many
Items Passed.

The session of the joint conference
committee of the Legislature yesterday
afternoon was almost without incident
in almost every instance in the con-
sderation of appropriations, the high
est figure in the two bills (Senate and
House, was adopted. Roads and gen.
eral improvements were under consid-
GRAFTON. AS for roads on Maui and Ha-
wall the committee put the appropria-
tions back just where the Governor had
placed them except that the additions
of the two houses were also considered
and put in at the highest figures.
In Honolulu the police and fire call
systems were approved. This carries
~ appropriation of $4,000. At Lahaina
the item for the street running from
near the landing out toward the PLAN
tation was cut down from $4,000 to
$1,000 When the item first passed the
two houses it was the impression that
the street, or road, was of some length.
The committee was somewhat taken
back when Senator White stated that
it was three-quarters of a mile in
length. There was a motion to pass the
item at $4,000; Makekau favored $4,000;
Senator White kept roaring until he
got it through at $4,000.
The items for roads and other inn
prOvements on the Island of Hawaii
passed at the highest figures which are
At the Governors estimates. The freak
item of breakwater for Hama, Kipahulu
and a few other places on Maui was
stricken out. 1t called for a little over
1000. 1t was remarked that experts
had estimated the cost of the Hama
breakwater alone at anywhere from
100000 to 100000.

NAGOONS WARM REPLYTHE BOARD Of HEALTH
BREWERY MASH AS A DAIRY
FOOD.
Paiai Contract is Dropped--Lodgings
For Newly Arrived Immigrants on
Quarantine Wharf.

Dr.. il. z. Sloggett, the new president
of the board of health, occupied the
chair at yesterdays meeting and E. A.
Mott-Smith was present for the first
time since he went away. f. G. Smith
and Attorney General Dole were also
i'm their seats and DIR. G. l.. Garvin was
present.
The report of DR.. Shorey, Food Com
missioner, for the month of June, was
received In dealt largely with milk
standards and the management of
dairies. The Commissioner had found
no serious shortcomings during the
month, however. The opening of the
new brewery had given rise to new
matter to be looked after, as the brew
cry was supplying its mash to two
diaries for feed. This is prohibited by
law in many clues, but Shorey thought
that as long as the amount of mash
available in Honolulu does not increase
beyond The present, no action was
necessary. He declared that fermented
mash only was dangerous, and that the
quantity is not SO large that fermen-
tation takes place before it is used.
The diaries taking mash were using it
properly said the Commissioner.
The proposed paiai contract came to
grief The Chinese contractor an
nounced that he had finally decided
that he would not attempt to sell paiai
to be delivered and accepted at Molokai
and the Boaru would not accept it in
Honolulu. Poi appears to be getting
more plentiful, and the matter was
dropped.
The Bishop Estate and Union Feed
Company protested against the burning
of garbage on Bishop lands in Kakaako
DR.. Pratt suggested doing the burning
at lwilei and the matter was referred
to him.
The Occidental and Oriental, Togo
kaisen Kaisha and Pacific Mail Steam
ship Companies were granted the right
to use part of channel wharf, to house
immigrants arriving on their vessels.
They have fixed up a place for the new
arrivals, who are not to be allowed to
stay on Quarantine Island hereafter,
beyond the time necessary to fumigate,
etc.
