The defalcation is of comparatively
long standing. The shortage was dis

on his last trip to Kauai several
months ago. At that time the Treas
urer promised to make good the
amount and gave written assurance to
Mr.. COnant that he would do So AS

moval from office, but had heard ru-
NOR Of the shortage and was told today

1t is supposed the money Wright
took was put into the Waimea mer-

CAUGHT IN CHAIN
AND LOSES AN ARM
DISTRESSING ACCIDENT TO BOY
AT UNION FEED CoMPANY-LAD
CRIPPLED FOR LIFE.

A young boy part native, named
Rose was caught in an endless fe "a
belt at the works of the Union Feed
Mill yesterday afternoon at $3.50 Sust
as the days work was cleaning I'D.
The fore risht arm was badly crush > !,
0ecess, in 4 amputation of the entire
arm. - T4sgleCt or blame is attached
by the lads parents to the employees or
management of the Union Feed Com
pany.
The injured lad with several othe q
have been in the habit of playins
around the mill. Young Rose had Oeen
twice ordered out of there and finally
caught in the engine room by the en-
gineer and deposited out of doors on u
vacant lot.
The work of the belt was nearly over
for the day and the last sacks Of sull
barley were being sent along to a IN IN
who stood at one end and opened the
sacks as they came, depositing their
contents into the hopper. After young
Rose had been dumped out of the en-
gine room he ran round and came up
behind the man at the hopper who was
emptying the last half dozen SACKS
The belt was empty and in a few mo-
ments would have ceased running. Sud
denly the man heard a scream and
turning round saw the lad with his
arm caught between the roller and the
belt, being drawn over the roller. The
scream so startled him by it's uneXpect-
edness that he nearly fell into the ma
chinery himself.
The engineer stopped the engine as he
ran back from the fire room tj his lev
ers at the shrek, but the boys arm had
been drawn over the roller until the
forearm was crushed and some of the
tendons and ligaments from the upper
arm torn down. The plucky youngster
started telling his troubles to the men
who We're being paid off and apparent
ly did not feel much imme'ilte pain
while the crushing stopped big flow Of
blood.
The boy was put into a hack and sent
to the Queens Hospital where he rests
at the charge of the Union Feed Com
pany
This morning it was found necessary
to amputate the entire arm which was
successfully accomplished. The par
ents were with the lad and Mr.. Rose
went over the scene of the accident
with F. w. Macfarlane acquitting the
Feed Company from any blame in the
matter. They boy will get well. rhe
father is said to be employed as license
clerk in the Public Works Department
and also to be connected officially with

WANTS CASES HEARD

In the two cases decided by Judge
Gear mandamussing the Fire Claims
Commission TO amend their awards,
Hatch and Silliman have filed a motion
in the Supreme court to advance The
cases to the head of calendar.
The motion is based on the records
of the cases and an affidavit by Judge
Silliman in which he says that the
cases are of great public interest and
concur; that there is $4,000 in the
treasury ready for distribution pro-
rata among the holders of the fire
claims awards, but that it cannot be
distributed until these cases are SET
tied; That everyone of the holders OF
of awards is therefore interested in the
decision of the cases.

employees SECURED NO PAY
Judge Little
Forced To Pay
An Old Bill

A local merchant was smart
enough to get the best Of Judge
little, of Hilo. The Judge owed
q matter of Seventy odd dollars.
for dry goods-to be accurate the
bill was for material for his
daughters wedding outfit. The
merchant waited patiently for
his money, but it never came.
In answer to numerous bills, the
Judge finally sent his latest pho
tograph, but the unsentimental
merchant wanted his coin and
not pictures. The merchant then
decided to get his money. The
claim was put in the hands of
Smith & Parsons, the only law
firm in Hilo that would take the
case. They awaited their op-
pOrtunity and when the Senato-
rial Commission visited Hilo,
they commenced suit for the
amount. When the papers were
served on the Judge, he handed
out the money on the spot to
hush the matter. He realized
that a man with an unpaid dry
goods bill hanging over his head
would not make a very deep inn
preston on the Senators, so he
decided to pay. The Hilo people
were surprised to know that any
one could have nerve enough to
sue Judge Little. All the lawyers
were amazed at the action of
Smith & Parsons. Now that it
is possible to get money out of
the judge other people will not
be afraid to invoke the law even
against a man who is on the
bench.

"Sleepy Bill' was a dreamer Of dreams

to come fo1n all sides in steady currents.

the curious discovery that there was
thick deposit of ice covered by a few
inches of water in the old shaft.
Investigation at that time and since
has failed to occount for the presence Of
either ice or water. for the shelterinp
pines overhead, the high curbing at
the mouth and its location at the top of
the knoll prevent the straight downfall
or the drifting of snow or the possibil-
ity of drainage.
With time the ice has thickened and
is gradually filling the shaft until in
the latter part Of the long dry summer
OF 1901 it was but three feet to the wat
er which is only three or four inches
deep on top of the ice. Again, strange
and disturbing fact. it has been many
times proven that in the heat of SUNNI
er, the temperature within this shaft is
below that Of severest midwinter. and
and that where three inches of water
stand upon the ice in summer there
VIII be twice that quantity in winter.
This water though soft and smooth for
washing and apparently possessing no
mineral or alkaline properties, is ex-
ceedingly bitter and nauseating to the
taste.
Many camping parties visit this
natural, or unnatural, wonder each
summer season. They chop and dig
the ice from the shaft to freeze their
ices, cool their beer and satisfy their
curiosity. The hole, the ice, in grad
ual increasing quantity, very little
water and the noticeable lack of prob-
able reason for the formation are All
there for observation by those who care
to visit and satisfying explanation
would be welcomed By those who have
already visited the place.
The we'll can be easily reached over
good roads from Miles City and For
syth, the latter point being within fifty
miles, and visit to the place, together
with the picturesque and unusual
scenery OF the surrounding country we'll

A Bounty Goes Up

A balloon ascension and parachut.
drop that had an unusual feature ac.
cured here Saturday afternoon. Prof.
Meents who has given a number, of dar-
ing exhibitions in eastern Montana,
treated the large crowd that turned
out last Saturday to unprecedented
sight. This was the professor s second
exhibition in Forsyth and the fact that
full-grown. gray wolf was to accom-
pany him up into the lofty humidity
was probably the potent factor in
bringing out the number to witness the
feat there was. The day was not a
favorable one for such an occasion,
there being a strong wind from the west,
which conflicted naturally with the
proper Initiating of the balloon. About
four O'Clock, however, it had been
charged as we'll as could, under the
circumstances, and the professor and
Thornton & Choisser's wolf were start
ed on their upward flight His wolf
ship had been provided with a para
chute and when at a height of about
500 feet he was dropped by the aero
naut. The parachute was duly opened
but evidently it was not sufficiently
large enough for the weight of its pas
senger. and the canine reached the
ground with sufficient force to break one
OF his legs, and owing to this fact the
owners valued bounty more than the
incapacitated wolf, and his career as
an aeronaut was ended with a bullet.
Prof. Meents had no sooner reached
the height where it was safe for him to
cut loose with his parachute, when the
balloon drifted over the bluffs east of
town and he was compelled to stay
with it until it finally decended il few
miles southeast of here.

SMOKE YOUR PIPE SLOWLY.

1t Is bad Form" to s,uoke Tobacco
Rapidly.
Ihere are many pipe smokers who
40 not know how to get the best there
is out of their indulgence The great
point in pipe smoking is to smoke
slowly. Nervous smokers smoke too
rapidly and burn their tongues with
hot smoke, besides failing entirely to
get the fullest and best flavor out of
the tobacco. 1t is all matter OF
habit, but slow smoking is a habit
which it is hard for some people to ac-
qulre. In some cases pipe smokers
nave tried for years to check their
smoking speed without success. They
began too late, anu the habit of rapid
smoking is shaken off with difficulty
when it is once acquired. Rapid smok-
fng is as bad as rapid eating-or
worse. 1t is also "bad FORM" Wheth-
er 1t ss cigar. pipe or cigarette. the
smoking should be deliberate in order
to get the fullest enjoyment. 1t is
especially SO with pipe. Many per-
sons have smoked all their lives and
yet do not know how to smoke. It is
as painful to watch some people smoke
as 1t is to sit at the table with man
who "gobbles" and georges" his food
on the "ffteen-m -minutes-for- refresh
ments' plan. The deliberate pine
smoker gets out of his pipe an enjoy
ment of which the rapid smoker has
not an inkling. A cigar which has
once gone out has its flavor ruined for
ever and should be thrown away i'm
mediately, for nothing Is more obnox-
ious to the sense of smell than a new
ly extingnished butt" The beastly
