HE SHOT At A BURGLAR
NJ. p. LUGAN NEARLY BAGS
HUMAN GAME.
Bold Attempt to Commit Burglary on
The Asylum Road Saturday Night
Thief Managed to Escape.

NJ. =. Lugan of the Inter-Island S. S
Company nearly bagged a burglar last
Saturday night Lugan took one shot
at the thief, but, owing to the darkness,
the burglar escaped. The attempted
burglary occurred on the Asylum road,
about midnight.
Lugan was aroused at that hour by a
noise at his window. He looked up and
perceived that a man was endeaVOring
to open the window. The window was
closed, SO the burglar could not gain
entrance. Lugan arose, got his revolver
and went into his aunts room as the
burglar had gone to the window in her
room and was trying to effect an en-
trance.
Lugan wanted to wait until the burg
lar opened the window and was climb.
ing in. The thief could have been shot
then, but Lugan's aunt was so fright
ened, that she insisted upon the burg
lar being scared away, at once. Lugan
went to the window and pointing the
revolver toward the burglar, fired one
shot Lugan was not able to take good
aim however and did not, he thinks
hit the fellow. The latter escaped by
running away. Lugan thinks the burg
lar was a white man.

MAUI ENTOMOLOGY.
Parasites Getting in Their Deadly
Work.

Entomologist Koebele has lust re-
turned from Maui with some fresh
grubs and varieties of wasps who are
doing damage to the trees. The trip
was made to look especially into the
welfare of certain parasites The grub
that has been destroying the koa trees
was found to have been destroyed to
the extent of fifty per cent by the para
site introduced by Professor Koebele
two years ago.
Mr.. Koebele deplores the outlook for
the trees on Maui and wishes that more
would display the public spirit of Mr..
Baldwin who has fenced the plan
tation at Lihue with the result
not only of the plantation having bene-
fitted, but the fact that there is hardly
sick tree in the fenced area where
the growth has been so vigorous that
ii is impossible to force a way through
the forest. Professor Koebele states
that the time will come when many
will lament their short sighted business
policy in not making a more vigorous
effort to preserve the trees and, emuat-
ing Mr.. Baldwin, plant out several
thousand every year.

THREE FAIL 70 RESPOND.
EsTEE IssUEg WARRANTS FOR
SHIPS OFFICERS.
Captain Baker and Mate Mcdonald to
Rooney Also to be Searched For.

Captain George A. Baker and First
Mate Charles Macdonald Of the snip
Emily Reed, ana second mate IA.
Rooney of another vessel were not pres
ent when they were called in the United
States court this morning, to answer for
cruelty on the high seas. Attorney
Fitch appeared FOR the first two, but
there was 10 appearance for Rooney,
and his bail of 500 was ordered forfeit
ed and a bench warrant issued. War
rants were also issued for the others.
The case Of Macdonald was called
first. When IL was found that he was
absent District Attorney Dunno moved
that his bail be forfeited and a bench
warrant be issued Fitch asked for a
postpOnement. He stated that the two
men had gone with their ship to San
Francisco and that he had received a
letter from them yesterday asking II
they must return at once, or II they
could ship for Newcastle and stop OF
at Honolulu on their way back with a
cargo Of coal to stand trial.
Fitch said that the men had been
given to understand that the charges
brought by Information. under which
the bonds had been given, were to be
withdrawn, this having been announced
by Attorney Baird. II would be an act
Of bad faith and great hardship to for
teit the bail now, When the men were
willing to come back for trial.
Dunno said that the bonds given
called for the men to be i'm court on the
18th of October. 1901. and they had fail
ed to appear. having instead left the
Territory. He renewed his demand for
the forfeiture Of the bail, $500 in each
case.
The court allowed until Monday next
without a forfeiture of bail ordering
warrants to issue at once, however, SC
that they may be sent to the coast by
the steamer to leave tomorrow. Fitch
wanted time enough 50 that he could
send for the men and have them here
without warrants, but the court refus.
ed to grant further time, and intimateC
that the bail would be forfeited next
Monday
Captain Wallace of the Sea Kinf

ented by S. VI. Ballou. The case will b,

pus at Olaa mill on Saturday in which
a white fireman on one of the lOcomo-

was accused by a Porto Rican with hav-
ing written letters to the latter's wife.
An interview was sought by the hus-
band without effect, but on Saturday
the man waited for the fireman and
while he was away from his engine at
tempted to assault him. The fireman
fought back and was doing effective
work when he noticed a number of
Porto Ricans coming toward him in a
threatening manner. He started to run
and they threw rocks at him. He man
aged to get on the train and then crawl
ed into the cab Of the engine. As the
Porto Ricans were wrought up the en-
gineer decided to cut loose from the
train and get away from the crowd by
taking the fireman into town. This he
did without further injury to the man.
IT Is said that the Porto Rican recruited
his friends before the train arrived at
