DEATH OFasJUDGE
NORRIS NJ. ESTEE

universally expressed on the street for
the loss Of Judge Estee, there was con-
siderable discussion of the appointment
Tof his successor. 1t was common opin-
ion that the office falls naturally within
the patronage of the Republicans of
California, as Hawaii is a district of
the Ninth judicial Circuit having it's
chief seat in San Francisco. AS will
be remembered, Judge w. E. Greene, of
the Superior Court of Alameda, was a
strong rival of Judge Estee for the first
appointment. Whether Judge Greene
will renew his effort to obtain the Of
fee now remains to be seen.
It is imperative that an appointment
be not long delayed, if not a permanent
lat least temporary one There is a
very heavy term calendar, with the
grand jury still having work ahead.
Besides, bankruptcy and admiralty
cases for disposition at chambers are
coming up all of the time In short.
without a judge of the U. S. District
Court, the administration of Federal
law in Hawaii is practically at stand
still.

those brave lads had spent together.
But little by little the gaze relaxed and

to induce the young woman or some
member of the family to assign a reas-
on for the shotting but all such at
tempts were unavailing. However, re
ports had already been circulated and
there are few among the neighbors
who do not believe that the young man
took his life because refused in his
suit for wife, he considered life not
worth the living.
Jesse e. Brooks was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. J. B. Brooks, who reside at
Pleasant Home, a small farming COM
munity west of the city. The Brooks
family is on familiar terms with that of
Mr.. Valley and few months ago
young Brooks came to this city to live
at the Valley home while he attended
business college. He became acquaint-
ed with Miss Hall, niece of Mrs. Wal
ley, who also makes her home with
her aunt. The young people are al
most of the same age and a friendship
sprang up between them, which it is
said, grew into a stronger feeling on
the part of the young man.
Were Together Often.
| Brooks and Miss Hall were seen to-
gether at several places, such as
church services and entertainments,
together, and a report was circulated
to the effect that young Brooks had
offered his heart and hand to the girl,
but that she had refused to marry
him, claiming that they had known
each other only a short time, not long
enough for them to think of Joining
| their lives and fortunes for all time.
The refusal, if there was one, evil
IDENTIFY affected the young man greats

in his manner was noticed by the
family, however, and the surprise to
those who knew him best is no Egreat-
err than to those who were only slight

Young Brooks was quiet and unas-
Stunning in manner but was highly re-

shock occasioned by his rash act is
great among those who knew him best.
He is survived by his parents, three
brothers and one sister. One of his
brothers, Everett Brooks, is principal
of a school in Kansas City, Mo-. Two
