Roundabout Way Of Getting a Boy
There.

Kama, a young Hawaiian, was found
guilty of larceny in the second degree
yesterday afternoon, in Judge Robin
sons Court. He is small yOungster,
and the judge was at a loss what to do
with him, as under the law the court
has no power to commit to the Reform
school. This power is with the district
magistrates alone. Kamas case was
finally postponed to Monday. If his
father in the meantime has him sent to
the reform school by Judge Wilcox
sentence will probably be suspended.
This roundabout method is the only one
by which youngsters arrested and in
dicted for petty larceny may be sent to
the reform school.
temporary injunction was granted
by Judge Humphreys yesterday upon
the application of Jacintha Jose Rodri-
guez against A. r. Silva to prevent the
defendant from interfering with her
peaceful possession of certain prop
erty near Punchbowl street. The prop
erty in question is irregular in shape,
and j. NJ. NiVas, acting in behalf of
former owner of the lot, secured from
Queen Kaliolani a lease of premises
adjoining to piece it out, which piece
was afterwards assigned to plaintiff in
this action, the lease providing for it's
expiration in conjunction with the lease
held by plaintiff. Silva is said to have
secured a renewal of the lease for his
wife, and refuses to recognize plaintiffs
right to any portion of the premises.
Defendant is alleged also to have des-
trCyed a portion of the fence erected by
plaintiff and with threatening to des-
troy other buildings upon the premises.
H. G. Middleditch has sued j. M.
Monsarrat and NJ. d. Monsarrat upon
note for $500, alleged to be due and
unpaid. The total amount Of Judgment
asked is S673.93
The second annual account of j. *.
Prendergast as administrator of the es-
tate of Kaalekai Pearson, was filed
yesterday. The receipts were $l63.6O
and the expenditure $40 more.
A discontinuance has been filed in the
case of Kwong Lee Yuen VS.. Wing
Duack Chang.
Cecil Brown has filed his final ac-
count as administrator of the estate
of William H. Cummings. A balance
of S2723.59 is shown.
Judge Gear heard a demurrer yester-
day in the case of Brown VS.. Bannister
Kmura, the japanese alleged to have
killed a woman of his race at Waialua
two Sundays ago, was arraigned be-
fore Judge Robinson yesterday and en-
tered a plea Of not guilty. His trial Is
to follow that of Ferris, which is set
to follow the trial of j. w. Hall.
Emaki pleaded guilty to the larceny
of iron pipe, and sentence was sus-
! pended.

PROFIT IN GEESE.

A geese raiser says: Geese come
as near being all profit az any stock
raised largely on grass and are
practically self supporting. They
do not require large pasture field,
but one that produces a good yield.
Add little grain occasionally and
you will have no trouble raising
geese. They only require water for
drinking purposes, same as a hen.
They are louise and mite proof, are
seldom subject to any disease, and
hawks seldom prey upon the young
goslings."
