srders to assist the Maui sheTin III
making the arrest Of Mate sutton OF
the schooner Honoipu, because Cap
tain Olsen claimed the sheriff did not
have search warrant and went post
haste from wailuku last "Wednesday
to Kahului. Upon arrival there now
ever. the captain OF the schooner weak
ened and the military company was
sent back TO Wailuku.
Yesterday morning the mate OF the
schooner at present In the harbor OF
Kahului. was tried by District Magis-
trate Mckay OF Walluku and found
guilty of assault upon one OF the san
ors of the same vessel. The ARRAY
took place on board the schooner about
two weeks ago. but as Judge Mckay
then decided that according to mari
time law he lacked jurisdiction In the
matter, United states Judge Estee of
Honolulu upon request. forwarded
warrant of arrest to the Maui sheriff.
The service of this warrant caused
reuch excitement on Wednesday sew
eral police officers. armed with the
warrant, boarded the Honoipu, but
the captain and cabin boy barred their
entrance into the cabin where the
mates stateroom was located, the
captain claiming a search warrant was
necessary.
The sheriff, becoming nettled and
fearing possible resistance to the au-
thority of the law, sent word to the
wailuku skating rink, where the mil
itary company was drilling under Cap
tain Keola, requesting fifteen men to
assist him in making the arrest Ihe
whole company Immediately volunteer
ed to go to Kahului and the offer was
accepted by the captain, though 1t tax
ed the carrying capacity of the wal
luku hacks to the utmost. The soldier
boys, however, did not have an OPP
portunity to make a military assault
upon the vessel, for upon reflection her
CAPTAIN allowed the search to go on
and the mate was found by the police,
not in the cabin but in the hold, the
hatchway leading to it being nailed
down. 1t is said the schooner was
ready to depart for the Coast ana
therefore the delay incidental to trial
was irksome to the captain

ed in time to save themselves from in
jury, but the brakeman, who was
standing on the front part of the loco

could not save himself and thus met an
antimely death. When found "A portion
of the engine was pressing upon his
abdomen. Death was not instantane-
Gus. for after the disaster he moved his
hands and feet but ne could not speak.
