FOUND POLICE ALL RIGHT ON
HAWAII.
Passed Delightful Three Weeks Time
on the Big Island-Stayed One Week
At the Volcano.

High Sheriff A. NJ. Brown returned
last Saturday by the Kinau from a de-
lightful three weeks business and plea
sure tour of Hawaii. He was accompa-
MED by Mrs. Brown who also return
ed with him. The trip benefited them
very much and the High Sheriff was
greatly improved in health and spirits
Deputy Sheriff Overend was in charge
of affairs at Hilo when we arrived"
said the High Sheriff "as Sheriff An
drew= was attending the term of court
lat Kailua. | remained two days at Hilo
inspecting the police force and Jail and
found everything to be in excellent
condition. 1t has been decided to in
stall a watchman's clock in the Hilo
Jail similar to that recently placed by
the Gamewell company in the Honolulu
Jail. It'is not thought necessary how
ever to install any regular police alarm
system at Hilo as the town does not
need it as the present time.
From Hilo, we went to the Volcano
House and passed one week at that
place. The weather was delightfully."-
cool and the visit was of the greatest
benefit. 1 passed six days in Kau where
| held COnsulta ton with Henry Martin
Jr. The murder cases have been well
cleared up in Kau and police matters
are in excellent shape in that district.
returned to Hilo and then accompani-
ed by Sheriff Andrews and Mrs. Brown
l drove up through Hamakua, North
HilO and South Kohala. The roads were
in bad condition and the crops, in
many instances, showed the effects Of
the drought of last year.
aside from the pleasant personal
features of the trip, l was very much
pleased to find conditions in police mat
ters on Hawaii, so excellent. With one
exception the various murder cases
have been settled up and the offenders
given various sentences. The single
case which is, as yet unsolved is that
which occurred last year. A Japanese
was found murdered in cane field in
Kau. Koluna a native, was recently
acquitted on a charge of having done
murder 1t is thought that the Japa-
nese was murdered by natives in that
district"

RAISED BIC WEIGHT

A big weight was raised from Davy
Jones locker last Saturday when the
ship Arthur Sewall recovered her lost
anchor and chain. 1t was due to the
successful work of Diver Herb. Young
that the anchor and chain which We're
lost by the vessel. over a year ago, We're
recovered. He located them in about
Is fathoms of water, got his gripping
irons firmly fastened on them and
marked the spot. When the Sewall
was towed outside of the harbor Sat
urday afternoon, Captain Godfrey, aid
ed by Young, then went ahead and
raised the lost implements.
The anchor weighed 5000 pounds. In
addition to this, there were 60 faith
oms of chain, Weighing 800 pounds to a
fathom, or a total of $4,000 pounds for
the chain, and $4,000 pounds for the
two articles. The chain was hauled up
first, of course, and then came the an
chor Captain Godfrey was delighted
to recover the lost things, and Young
cleaned up quite tidy sum from his
excellent work.
Young will probably begin looking
for the lost anchor of the battleship
Oregon. This anchor was lost last May
when the battleship was anchored off
the port en- route from Yokohama to
San Francisco. Although the water is
very clear where it was lost, Young 5
former efforts failed to secure any
trace of the anchor. He hopes to get a
line onto the anchor very soon, and add
another to his successes as a finder OF
lost chains and anchors.

SUN KwONG MAU COMPANY'S
SUIT.
Tramways Lawyers Appear to Be Rum
ming the Case Alone-Question of the
Real Plaintiff an Issue.

McClanahan brought up the matter
of the Sun Kwong Mau Company VS..
the Waikiki Land & Loan Association.
McClanahan stated that it had been re-
ferred by Judge Robinson to Judge
Humphreys and asked if the latter
could set time for hearing. The case
was one of more public interest than
mere private controversy, said the
attorney Judge Humphreys stated
that he would be at liberty any day this
week, but would not set the case, as
counsel for the other side were not
present. Brooks, who appears of record
for plaintiff said that ne didn't want to
do anything without consulting Dunno
and BreckOns, who are also counsel.
1t appears that the Chinese corpora
tion as plaintiff, has been swallowed up
by Pains attorneys if not by Pain. 81
don't know whether 1 am counsel or
not" said Brooks, i'm answer to Judge
Humphreys, who said that an attorney
whose name was of record ought to
known whether he represented a Iiti-
giant or not Il notice that by name
has been left off the papers by the other
counsel Brooks promised to consult
with Dunno and BreckOns and be ready
this afternoon to have the case set.
Brooks began the suit as counsel for
the sun Kwong Mau Company the ac-
ton being between that company and
the Rapid Transit Company, and re-
sulttng in stopping the latters con-
struction of a road through the Me-
Gully tract. Soon Dunno and Breck-
ons, attorneys for w. H. Pain, appear
ed in the case, and the Chinese cor
poration seems to have found it un-
necessary to fight the battle any more.
The first issue to be heard is a mo-
ton of the Tramways Company to
strike out many sections of the defend
"a N HArs IN f1,.
are scandalous and impertinent In
this hearing the question of whether
the Sun Kwong Mau company is really
the aggrieved plaintiff, or whether the
Tramways Company is really fighting
the case, the latter company not ap-
pearing in the pleadings at all, may
be raised.

San Francisco at the same time of the
day April 90 but for two weeks were
not in sight of each other after the
first night. The Coronado got i'm at 8
a. m. yesterday and the other boat ar
rived about two hours and a half later.
The Coronado had about 400 tons of

WAFER FRONT TABUED
BOARD OF HEALTH PROHIBITS
FISHING THERE.
District From Kalia to Kalihi Tabued,
Will Have Hard Time to Enforce
Rule.

An order has been issued by the
Board of Health to prohibit fish being
taken from the stretch of water extend
ing between Kalia and Kalihi, for edi-
BILE purposes until the notice is revok-
ed. This order tabus the whole stretch
of the water front and has been issued
to protect those eating fish from the
possible effects caused by feeding on
fish caught in waters that are more or
less impregnated with sewage and the
general eXcreta of the city.
Several complaints have been made of
illness, more or less serious, from the
eating of such fish A native woman
and children were reported sick on Sat
urday from having eaten the flesh of an
eel, the variety, yellow with black
spots, that usually furnishes good
food.
The symptoms were described as
those of mild attack of cholera, The
eel was perfectly fresh, having been
alive when purchased and killed by the
Chinese salesman at the request of the
purchaser.
While the order is accepted as a wise
precaution, those who know the fisher
men are wondering how it is going to
be enforced short of a perpetual night
patrol in the shape of a steam launch.
Providing the fishermen see the notice
which is thought doubtful, they will be
prepared to swear that they did not and
'all of them are smart enough" said
Inspector Berndt, ito tell me that the
fish they brought in came from some
other than the tabud district; a state
ment that it will be impossible for me
to disprove."

wAHIAwA GETS WATER SUPPLY.

The Wahiawa ditch was opened at 2
O'Clock on Saturday before the assem-
bled colony of planters who cheered
the waters as they came through the
gate. Several people from Honolulu
were present who were interested in
the scheme, riding out on horseback to
within a mile or so af The headwaters
of the Kaukonahua stream in the Ko-
olau mountains where the head gate of
the new system is located. The levers
releasing the pent up waters from the
ditch were operated by l.. G.. Kellogg,
manager of the Wahiawa Water Com
pany, who made a short speech de-
scribing the carrying out of the plan.
The cost of the ditch construction was
given at $50 900.

Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1902-09-11

Some time ago a delicate though ar
tistic girl of Naples, Ida Rizzi by name,
saw a photograph of Queen Helena in
which her majesty was represented In
thoughtful mood. Straightway she
conceived the idea of painting por-
trait of her sovereign and of beautify-
ing it with smile, which was wholly
lacking In the photograph.
This she did, and when her work was
finished she sent it to the queen, with
these words: May her majesty smile
in this manner all her life"
A few days later the child became Sc
riously i'll and the physicians decided
to perform an operation on her. Mean
while the queen had learned who had
sent the painting, and the result was
that few hours before the fixed time
for the operation DR., Quirico, the court
physician, entered Ida RizZis home
with instructions from the Queen to
take the best possible care of her. Soon
after him came the Countess Guicciar-
DIM, one of the Queens ladies in wait
ing. with large box full of beautiful
presents, among them being boxes OF
choice paints, brushes, engravings, a
| jeweled brooch and fine portrait of lit
tie Princess Yolande, below which were
written some kindly words by the queen
| herself

Canny Paupers Had
Fat Bank Account
,AA~%>~%@%%A~e~~>

Whether the town or State shall take,
action to recover nearly $1,000 said to,
be ON deposit in a Ware, Mass, bank
to the credit of family that has been
receiving pauper rations from the town
for ten years is bothering the authori+
ties in Palmer.
AS far as the town is concerned it
has lost nothing by the transaction and
1t is not likely to, unless it may be-
some expense incidental to an attempt
that will be made to recover the money!,
for the commonwealth, which has REL
imbursed the town for the charity
doled out
1t has been learned that there Is
something over $1,000 owned in Ware
by this family, which has been get
ting week after week orders on bust
ness men, so that annually the bill
footed up to amounts between $50 and
$50.
The case first came to the Attentions
of the Palmer overseers as far back as
1892 and since then aid has been give
en- regularly after it was found that thss
family was State charge, and THAI
the town was merely acting as agent
for the State in giving assistance.
Rumors that occasionally reached
the ears of the officials ended with the
investigations and legal advice waS
taken in the matter.
The legal opinion was solicited in the
question as to whether it Is for the
town or the State to take action; and
the answer was that there being no
action of contract between the State
and the family it seems incumbent on
the town to take it up with clause
specifying that the attempt to recover
the money is to be made in behalf Of
| the State.
1t was suggested, says the New York
Herald. that if the family got an idea
of the intention the money would be
withdrawn, but even if this was done
it is believed there will remain just
as strong a case of obtaining money
under false pretenses.

ried industries that have shown unusu-
al results there are none with a more
notable record, for the crop of 1900 was
500 600 bushels. These facts mean that
the owners of the cranberry boys have
received nearly $1,700,000. Cranberry
raising is an industry which, despite
the popularity of the fruit, has COM
manded small attention from others
than those directly interested. Capital
is an absolute necessity to engage in it
successfully, as productive bog costs
from $500 to $500 an acre to bring to
a state of profitable bearing.
In September the cranberry harvest
properly be called the harvest month";
When the section of the bog where the
picking is to start is selected it Is di-
vided into rows, the boundary lines be-
ing marked by stout Irvine running the
entire length of the section. These rows
vary in width from two to three feet.
A row is assigned to a picker, who must
strip the vines therein thoroughly be-
fore he is allowed to change to another
row. The method of removing the ber-
ries from the vines is simple and eX!
peditious. The picker places his fling!
ers slightly spread apart beneath the
vine, or bush, close to the ground. A
quick upward movement, and his hands
have stripped the vine of its fruit.
The cranberry bog blossoms in June
and it is it's appearance at this stage
of growth that gives the berry it's
name Just before expanding into per-
feet flower the stem. calyX and petals
resemble the neck, head and bill of N
crane Hence the name "craneberry,"
which usage has shortened to Gran
berry"
