Jap MURDERED
IN KAU DISTRICT

Sheriff Martin of Kau writes of a
murder committed on September 30, as
follows:
"On Wednesday, September 3Oth, at
about 10 o'clock in the forenoon, Jap
anese was found dead on the road to
Kona, about five miles on the Kau side
of Kona and Kau boundary, by keka-
ula and party. He reported the mat
ter to me at about noon from Papa,
South Kona. / called a physician to
hold post mortem and called a coro-
ner's Jury which viewed the body at
about 6 p. m. We found that the mans
skull was cut right through, the wound
starting from the left eye and running
up to about an inch above the hair
line. The brain was exposed and part
of 1t fell to the ground. The cut looks
as If It had been inflicted by means or
n hatchet.
Together with a police officer l
searched the place where the body was
found but no weapons of any descrlp-
ton were found. l found q tax re-
ceipt on the dead mans person. 1t
had been issued in Honolulu on Feb.
l6, 1903, by James L. Holt to Matsu so
| judge that his name was Matsu. l
also found 1885 in cash on his person
and some letters addressed to different
parties. None of them ever mention
ed Matsu or the bearer.
THE case is certainly one of murder.
We have no clues as to what the mo-
tive was for committing the murder or
who did it. The deed was done at q
place about twenty miles from Waio-
hinu. 1t was right on the road where
it crosses the lava bed, where the road
is made up of large loose gravel. We
could not see any trace of footsteps, nor
of horses either. We have CONSEQUENT
ly nothing whatever to work on; but
I hope we will find something soon.
"The inquest has not been held as
yet as Kekaula and his party are at
Kohala and we need their testimonies.
We expect to hold it on Saturday, oct.

A WONDERFUL
INVENTION

| After two years of patient study and
work our townsman Henry Rempe has
succeeded in perfecting a clock which
promises to revolutionize clock max
| ing in this country. The clock is
really a wonderful invention, which
runs without winding and keeps time
absolutely correct. You put the clock
on the shelf and it runs for two years
without any attention whatever.
The clock is of the same style and
shape that we are accustomed to see
ing in any jewelry store. The power
that runs it is a small dry battery,
which at the end of two years is re-
placed by a new one at a cost of 30
cents.
The clock as perfected by Mr.. Rempe
embodies the first basic Improvement
since the spring superseded the rays
of the sun AID the sand in the hour
glass as an indicator of time. 1t is
most simple piece of mechanism, con
tanning only three wheels as against
fifteen wheels III the spring clock. The
cost of manufacture will be CORES
pondingly less than the ordinary spring
clock. The retail prices when the
clock is put upon the market will be
as low as 81 or 50 up to higher prices
corresponding to the case used,
which may be very fancy. Mr.. Rempe
has had a model of the clock running
in his store for year past and he Is
positive that it will do all that he
claims for it.
Mr.. Rempc. the inventor, has just
returned from a trip through Con-
necticut where five million clocks are
made annually. He brings the most
fiattering reports from the heads of
the great mechanical establishments
there. They predicted that his inven-
tion would make a revolution in clock
making and create monopoly, as the
public will no longer have any use for
the old key winding clock which must
be wound every day or every week
when they can buy one that will run
two wears without winding and keep
better time than any fifty-dollar watch
ever made
The simplicity of the clock is anoth-
er feature which recommends it, The
construction together with the few
pieces employed is such that it is next
TO impossible for the clock to get out
of order.
The market for such a clock is the
field of the entire world. Mr.. Rempe
has secured several patents broadly
covering every detail of the clock and
he is now having the timepiece patent
ed in Europe and ali foreign countries.
NJ. G. Youngman, Cashier of the
Danville National Bank, has under
taken TO organize a stock company to
manufacture Mr.. Rempe's clock in
Danvillc. There is no doubt as to the
future, OF the industry. As the clock
is destined TO come into nearly uni
ve1sal use so the plant manufacturing
it must in time assume gigantic pro-
portions.
Mr. Rempe's working model will be
found in his store and any one inter
estcd is invited to call and examine it.
Mr.. Rompe, if on hand, will be glad to
explain its workings and impart any
information on the subject that may
be desired

The two Danville girls have never seen
their German kinsfolk. The latter,
however, have arranged for the visit

As to Weights and Measures,

There is suspicion among the pa
irons of the curb stone market that the
borough ordinance relating to the in
spection of weights and measures is not
carried out as faithfully as it might
be. At all events it is charged that
products are sold in market that are
short in weight
\ gentleman who purchased pound
of butter on Saturday found it upon
re-weighing to be one and a half
ounces short. Other cases have been
cited recently which show that sever
al vendors have been a little off in
weight.
The borough ordinance provides that
an inspection of the weights and mea-
sures used in the curb stone market
shall be made at least once a month
and that if such weight and measure
be found short they shall be seized
and forfeited and for the second otfense
the offender shall be arrested and pros
ecuted according to law
All butter, lard and other articles
exposed for sale in market, if found
deficient in weight or given measure,
shall he seized and sold for the use of
the borough.

There are few men living who in a
long life time ever passed through am
experience more thrilling than that
which Monday fell to the lot of
Charles Lowe, who resides ON the
farm at Edgemont, near Groyania, ut
present owned by 7. f Hyde
In company with Jackson Winter
steen and John Krum he was assisting
to bring bull to Danville where the
animal was to be placed on the cars
and shipped to another point. Tho
bull was of the Jersey stock and as
common with that breed is at time,
quite vicious.
Anticipating trouble in taking the
! bull on the road every prccaution pos
sible was taken. Mr.. lowe led him
by staff connected with a ring at
tached to the animals nose, while
| Messrs Wintersteen and Krum fol-
lowed holding a chain fastened around
his horns.
The trip was made without incident,
until point mile or so west Of
Grovania Was reached when it began
to rain and Mr.. Lowe temporarily re-
leased his hold TO put on mackin-
tosh. This seemed to give the bull
some advantage and he became un-
governable. In the struggle the staff
broke in two, which left Lowe at the
mercy of the infuriated animal, which
made a lunge striking the man and
bearing him to the ground.
The spectacle at this time was hor-
rifying in the extreme. The bull was
trying his best to gore the man but
the latter had succeeded in seizing the
ring in the nose Of the bovine, and
every time he rammed his head down
upon him by twisting the ring Mr.,
Lowe managed to stand the animal
off. Time and again the bull rushed
upon the PROSTATE man, but every time
the latter succeeded in getting hold of
the ring, which was all that saved his
life.
Meanwhile MessrS. Wintersteen and
Krum after vainly endeavoring to
check the mad bull carried the chain
over to the fence where they succeed
ed in making it fast around post.
The bull now turned his attention to
the two men who jumped over the
fence. Thus Mr.. Lowe was enabled to
escape, although badly hurt. The
bull tore down several panels of fence
and escaped. At the farm of George
Leighow he WAS driven into the barn
yard and secured.
Dr. Paules was called to attend Mr..
Lowe. No bones were broken but the
man was painfully bruised from head
to foot. The index finger Of his right
hand was broken. His right eye was
swollen shut and his head and face
were badly SCARED.
