TO DEATH
WITH A BIBLE
A KAHUNA IN PUMA TRIES TO
CAST OUT DEVILS WITH A
FATAL RESULT.

HILO, April ga case in the district
court of Puma attracted considerable
attention in that district last week and
resulted in the defendant being bound
over to the Grand jury on the charge Of
manslaughter.
The victim in the case was a patient
of DR.. Holland, the government physi-
clan of the district The mans rela-
tives clandestinely engaged the SER
vices of the kahuna who Immediately
ordered discontinuance of remedies
prescribed by the haole physician. The
mans condition was serious, he was too
weak to sit up and the Kahuna de-
clared him afflicted with red devils and
proceeded to drive them out. He was
placed in a sitting position and beaten
over the head with a bible.
The wife of the victim was thorough
ly alarmed over her husbands condi-
ton and was in dread of the Kahuna so
that when she was commanded to beat
the patient she complied. After an
other beating by the Kahuna the man
died
The Kahuna was arrested and in a
preliminary hearing before Judge Ka-
mau he stated that the man had devils
In him and he was following the ms
tructions in the bible relative to casting
them out. Asked to tell how he knew
the patient was possessed of devils he
replied that his general appearance
proved the fact. He had red eyes was
restless and his hair stood on end. The
judge asked him to point to a passage
In the Bible which gave authority for
such treatment but the Kahuna failed
to locate it,
Three witnesses were examined and
leach one corrobOrated the testimony re-
latlve to harsh treatment. Judge Ka-
mau held the man in bonds in the sum
of $500 on the charge of manslaughter
to appear before the grand jury.

Attorney General Andrews is in the
pleasing position of a lawyer who is
able to study a case and select which
side he wants to appear on, in the mat
ter of the settlement of questions aris-
ing about transfers of public property
to the new board of Public Institutions.
Preparations are being made to submit
the questions involved to the Supreme
court, but so far there is no one to
appear in defense of the bill.

FIND A WAY
GOREO BY A
WILD STEER
JAPANESE SAILOR ON HELENE
NEARLY KILLED WHILE HELP
ING TO DISCHARGE CATTLE.

Nado, a Japanese sailor aboard the
steamer Helene, narrowly escaped
death this morning while helping to
discharge stock from the steamer at
the cattle pen.
The Helene had 81 head of fine fat
steers from the Parker Ranch aboard.
The native and Japanese sailors were
busy putting the slings around the
bodies of the cattle, in order that the
stock could be lifted up by the donkey
engine and slung onto the cattle land
ing close to the Railway wharf. a big
steer much wilder than the rest was
landed, but instead of getting into the
pen with the others that had been put
ashore, it jumped over the steamers
rail onto the boat again.
There was a wild scramble when the
sailors saw the steer come over the
rail. The Japanese did not get out of
the way soon enough, for the animal
rushed forward and knocked him down
on the deck. To the officers and 9TH
ers on the main deck and about other
places of safety aboard the vessel, it
seemed certain that the man would be
gored to death. The steer tossed and
rolled him about the deck. Once it's
horn ripped his scalp open. The man
was unable to regain his feet. He was
completely at the mercy of the infu-
rated beast.
In a frantic effort to kill the man,
the steer tossed him over the covered
hatch into a corner where it was i'm
possible for the steer to follow. The
steer then turned away after a few in
effectual attempts to reach it's victim.
The Japanese was dragged away by
other sailors to the upper deck out of
the way of the steers.

The brilliant meteor which was re-
ported from Mahukona last Thursday
night appears to have been viewed at
various other places about the Island
of Hawaii Hilo saw it and the people
along the Hamakua coast also viewed
the wonder. Perhaps the best view of
the meteor was that had by Captain
Nicholson and others on the steamer
Helene when that vessel was lying at
Ookala Thursday morning.
The meteor suddenly made it's ap-
pearance in the heavens about 6 O'Clock
The meteor was most brilliant. So
bright was it at first that the eye could
scarcely bear the bright glare from it..
The meteor appeared at about the 80
degree point in the heavens and de-
scribed an arc of about II degrees, ac-
cording to Captain Nichoson's calcu-
lation.
The head of the meteor resembled
the nozzle of a hose and from the head
sputtered little tiny rays of light. The
course of the meteor resembled a gild-
ed shaft of lightning.
The following account of the occur
renee is given by the Hilo Tribune.

TOGETOVERTHE
NEW JURY
LAW
A Decision Has Been Found
Which it is Thought IWiIl
Help Matters 0ut-The Jud-
geS at Work.

The circuit judges and Chief Justice
Frear had conferences yesterday re-
garding the difficulties in the new jury
law. The fact that there was no way
provided in the bill to put 1t in effect
until 1905 appears to have slipped past
judges and lawyers galore. 1t was a
case of too many cooks spelling the
broth, l think" said Judge Robinso?,
land If one on two men had had all the
work to do, the bill might have been
better. Under a Washington decision
found yesterday by Judge De Bolt, L
think we have authority to consider the
positions of jury commissioners vacant,
and appoint at once when the new act
goes into effect, and therefore we can
have the new system working by jan
uary 1, 1904 instead of 1905. In the
meantime the judges may be able to
draw juries for the September term"
The jury act was presented by the
bar Association, and was read by the
members of the judiciary generally, but
no one appears to have noticed the
troublesome sections which postpone
for such a long time its practical ap-
plication. A provision allowing action
by judges and clerks under certain cir
cumstances was inserted by Judge De
holt, when the act, as it stood then,
provided for the drawing of juries by
the supervisors of the counties.
The circuit judges will appoint jury
commissioners after the act goes into
effect, under the legal theory that,
though the offices have never been fill
ed, there is a vacancy in them now,
and the commissioners may take office
at once ara draw jLries, thus providing
juries under the new system for the
year 1904.

Smith was United States Commits

pilots and harbor masters under the
laws OF Hawaii, except as changed by
this Act and subject to modification by
the legislature.
1t is claimed that the words subject
to modification by the legislature" con-
tain authority for the provisions of the
county bill regarding the control of
the various public institutions mention
ed in the section, also that the author
ity to provide city and county govern
ment includes authority to give such
government control of streets, etc,
within the cities and counties.
There is some talk of bringing the
proposition before the federal courts,
as the construction of a federal statute
is involved, and the final decision lies
with United States courts. In the event
of a decision against the county bill
by the Hawaiian Supreme court an ap-
peal would lie to the mainland or the
matter could be taken before Judge Es-
tee in many ways and ,piliika would re-
suit from conflicting decisions should
they be rendered.
If the sections of the county biH
which are attacked should be knocked
cut Hawaii would be in peculiar sit
uation, according tb attorneys who
have been figuring the matter out, The
rest OF the Dill would remain IN tOrce
and the counties would be esta blished
just the same, but there would be moth
ing for the various county officers to do
1t is claimed that the same questions
can be raised regarding the business
which the Treasurer, tax collector. at
torney general and other heads of de-
partments turn over to county control
as in the case of the Public Works de-
partment. This would leave county
officers with absolutely nothing to do
but draw salaries.
