The trial of Anton Tavarsh, in
dicted for murder in the first degree
for killing John Kane at Pahoa on
Christmas day, ended on Tuesday with
a verdict Of not guilty. DR.. Holland was
tie first witness called and he was
on the stand for several hours. Other
witnesses followed and their stories
all agreed. 1t was shown that both
men were under the influence of liquor
and were inclined to be quarrelsome.
1t seems that Kane was the aggressor
and that Tavarsh was holding his own
against the old man when the latter
struck Tavarsh with an axe handle
knocking him insensible. When he re-
vived Kane had gone toward his home
and Tavarsh followed. A fight ensued
| in which Kane received the injury
which caused his death.-Herald

ONE BRIDGE ARRIVES.
Among the cargo of the Roderick
Dhu which arrived last week was one
Of the steel bridges for the Hilo Rail-
road Company which will be used to
span the Waiakea river. Unfortunate
ly it was the bridge to be placed near
the mouth of the stream and, conse-
quently, will be of no service in the
construction of the beach extension as
all of the ballast will be brought from
along the main line and it will be nee
essary to have the other bridge in
position before the trains can cross the
stream. The company has received no
advices regarding the shipment OF the
second bridge.-Herald
