SOME ODD GUARDIANS.
aS Protectors of False
Mackerel.

The natives OF VeLeZuela and ad-
joining countries on the north side OF
the river Amazon often avail them
selves of the services of a native
crane to care for their poultry, and
also in the place of collies or shep-
herd dogs, to guard and herd their do
nestle animals. says writer in the
Brooklyn Eagle. This remarkable
bird, which the Indians call yakamik,
and the ornithologists psophia crepi-
tans. is found in wild state in the
great forests which lie between the
northern coasts of South America and
the Amazon river, particularly in
Venezuela and British Guiana. The
birds never leave the forests unless
shot or captured. They may be trust

At the afternoon session. the House
again went into committee of the
whole for the consideration of the I'm

his argument on the point that the

to blame than the sheriff himself since

IL is stated that s25 out OF his salary
of 800 had been taken away. The
letter was addressed to "Kekino," and
when the representative was asked as
to the identity of the person named, he
said: "'Kekino' is my Hawaiian name
and 'Kealawaa' is my haole name" II
turned out that Kekino is the middle

Mr.. Andrade protested against TAX

FIRE CLAIMS DECISIONS

In its decision on the fire claim OF
En- Syak Aseu, the Supreme Court
points out that the case differs from
the Colburn case principally In that no
amount is named for the other claim,
which Is mentioned as coming out in
the pleadings to have been by Ly Keau
for 81, 900. The Court says that II the
intention was to leave the parties to
settle the matter between them In a
regular court at law or equity, ut
would seem that the Commission did
not do its duty under the statute and
ought now to proceed to adjudicate
each claim" The amount may have
been set forth In the award and omit
ted inadvertently in the certificate, or
II may have been omitted inadvertently
in the award. II omitted in the award,
that may be void for uncertainty or In
completeness. IL set forth In the
award, either that would be void for
uncertainty or considered an award to
lGn Syak Aseu in trust. as to part, for
the other claimant. In any event the
Court cannot say that the certificate
alone shows that the appellant was
intended 10 have the entire amount,
, much less that on this certificate alone
the Auditor was Obliged to issue u
warrant for the entire amount to tho
appellant.
The syllabus of decision In the case
of the Royal Insurance Company reads
thus:
| "A statement In an award made by
the Fire Claims Commission to the
owner of destroyed property. that the
award was made subject to the sub
rogatlon of that claimant to an insur-
ance company. giving the name OF
company, the number OF the policy and
the amount. cannot be considered as
an award of that amount to the COM
pany SO as to entltle 1t as an awardee
to a warrant therefor"
The owners claim was for S5077 l7H
on merchandise, on which an award OF
$2Sll. G5 was made. The claim OF the
insurance company was for 1926.
The three fire claims decisions hand
ed down by the Supreme Court yester'
day leave these particular claims In
the air. Colburn and Aseu are told
that they cannot collect the awards tc
them respectively. as these are sub
ject to other claims. while the Roya
Insurance Company is informed thai
its claim upon certain owner insured
by II though recognized by the Fir
Claims Commission, does not hold thu
status OF an award.
Whether the parties in these case
may exhibit an agreement OF division
OF awards which will be recognized
and honored by Treasury Agent Mac
Lehman without court judgment re

the Supreme Court suggests rathe
plainly that the Commission ha

RUNAWAY HORSE
AND SMASHED BRAKE

A horse attached to hack No. 1876
created quite sensation along lower
Fort street Thursday at about 10
o'clock by doing spirited runaway
performance.
The hack was standing on 113 hack
stand at Merchant street, near Fort.
The driver, Frank Baker. was on the
sidewalk. close to the hack. Suddenly
the animal took fright at something
and started to run away at full speed,
without the slightest warning. The
whole thing happened so suddenly that
Baker could do nothing but start of
in pursuit.
In the meantime the horse turned
the corner OF Merchant and Fort streets
and ran down Fort street in the ma
kai direction.
Just outside Lucas planning mill, the
hack came into violent collision with
dray which was standing there. The
shock was so great that the bride and
headstall OF the runaway horse were
sundered and the hack was detached
from the animal.
Freed from the encumbrance, tho
beast continued on its mad career at
staccato gait. However. II did not
get very far. Outside the lnter-Island
wharf Antoine Gomez. the driver OF
the express wagon which carries the
mail to and from steamers. pluckily
threw himself in the horses way and
effectually stopped him.
