Tug OF w ar Contest.

There was big crowd at the
Aala warehouse on Saturday mig hit
The All Americans which we're
scheduled TO pull with the Long
shoremen failed to show up and a
substitute team gave up e. ghost
after minutes 81 seconds. The
Wela Ka Haos and the PortuL uese
took the cleats next. A large sum
OF money changed hands during the
contest. The Wela-Ka- Haos weighed
twice as much as the Portuguese,
still it took them 36 minutes before
the Manuels gave up. Most OF the
betting was that the Hawaiians
would win in % minutes; but the
Portugu -se pu led ard pulled and
held on to the ropes until be
hackers Of the Wela Ka Hsos wond-
cred what was going TO happen.
There are rumors that the pull was
a fake but it did not look that
way. 1t cannot be denied, how
ever, that the Wela Ka Haos were
a cruel deception to their friends.

IN DEFENSE OF DIR. OLIVER.
Statement from tho Dispensary Side
of the Recent Leper Settlement
Incident.

case OF Piip) Mikila have not been
made public, therefore propose to
make short statement, as Doctor
Oliver was not allowed to be pre-
sent in the Committee Room when
his accusers we're examined nor 10
hear their evidence. He has learned
it in second hand way only. II
the report the Doctor received is
correct, he unhesitatingly says that
certain witnesses lied.
1t has been customary at the Ka'
laupapa Dispensary for the Jailor
to bring or send up prisoners once
a week or SO. The Doctor insisted
on this, as formerly he was frequent
ly called to the prison for trifljng
ailments, aud often as not, on ar.
rival at the jail, he was unable TO
obtain admittauce. When any
prisoner was unable to come to the
Dispensary, for instance, a fever
case, he was attended to by the
Doctor at the jail.
The man Pilipo came to the Dis
pensary on several occasions with
the Tailor, and the Doctor seeing
that he was far advanced with the
disease, told tie Ailor not to bring
him up again. but seq to it that he
was washed, as his condition was
anything but clean. The Doctor
also found out from the man that.
he suffered no pain and that he was
able 10 attend TO thu sores on his
feet himself. The Tailor was in the
habit, ell her personally or through
one of the pri oners, of receiving
lint, medicin al soap, dressings and
simple medicines from the Dis
peusers, when they we're asked for.
In all far advanced cases Of
leprosy, the patient requires nurse
rsther than a doctor, and unless
there is pain or a wound threatens
to mortify, doctor is OF little use
In the present instance, the Tailor
and thu prisoner were told by the
Doctor that medicines were useless
All that anyone could do for him
was to give him wine, nourishing
food, keep him clean and attend to
hi, sores. The Jailor was also told
to report to the Doctor il the man
should experience psiu, or il his
condition should become worse. As
he heard nothing more Of him, the
Doctor, after the lapse of ten days
or go, supposed that the man was az
usual aud that he had received
dressings, etc.
The Doctor heard nothing what
ever about the state OF the map, or
that maggots had appeared in the
sores on his feat, until hs had been
allowed to be taken to his home.
He then OF course attended him,
being requested to do so by mem.
bers OF benevolent society.
When thu Doctor saw the weak
state of the man, as said before, he
told the Tailor that he would speak
to Superintendent Reynolds about
removing Pilipo to the Bay
View Hone, The Doctor did
speak to Superintendent Reynolds,
He told him that doctor wac OF no
use in such a Gaze. That the man
required nursing, wine and nourish
ing food, Supt. Reynolds replied,
after visiting the man, that he
would not remove him, but that he
would see that he had every atten-
tion paid to him by thu Tailor, and
that he would get better treatment
where he was, than he would re,
ceive at the Bay View Home. Supt,
Reynolds also told the Doctor that
the Jailor was fully able to look

DIVORCE CAUSES
A TRIPLE MURDER
YOUNG Ma n Murders His Wife's
Parents and His Own
Little Daugh-

Mount Pleasant. Mich, Oct 17.-As
the bloody sequel of a divorce suit
Archie Woodin. 20 years old, is under
arrest here. charged with the triple
murder. in which Mrs. Woodin's par
ents and the prisoners 1s-months-old
daughter were shot and killed
Woodin was overpowered Just as he
was about to turn the weapon upon
himself and had inflicted wound
that is not expected to prove fatal.
He visited the court house this morn
ing and about o'clock looked over
the papers in suit for divorce which
his wife instituted October 10. From
there he went directly to Isbell's
hardware store, where he purchased a
revolver.
Having secured the weapon, he first
rode his wheel to the Gulick farm,
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Gulick being the
first victims. Mr.. Gulick was shot
twice. once above the heart and once
in the right side. and was instantly
killed. Woodin then turned upon his
mother-in-law. who was sitting in a
rocking chair. and shot .her iIi- the
throat She ran into the kitchen and
fell upon her back. Woodin followed
and emptied three chambers of his
revolver into her breast, killing her.
A 14-year old daughter of Gulick
came in at the sound of the first shots
and. seeing the blood on her mothers
heck. ran to the neighbors and gave
the alarm.
The murderer then dashed madly to
lis mothers home six miles away.
He rode his wheel for one mile, then
