will penetrate only the least accessible Dor
tons of the body. Nor does the title to the
hide necessarily pass with making fast the
weapon.
One afternoon in the Cheesehowitzkee
river I harpooned a large alligator which
towed me up and down the stream for an
hour or two and then sulked in it's deepest
part. I pulled on the line until the boat
was directly over him and stirred him up
with the harpoon pole. He rolled himself
up on the line in the manner peculiar to
sharks and alligators, and banged the boat
SUCCESSFULLY. We rowed to the bank and
making fast to some bushes. hauled on the
line until we succeeded in worrying him
nearly to the boat. when he rose to the sur
face and attacked us with open mouth We
repealed the attack with harpoon pole and
rifle. The former was promptly bitten in
three pieces. but the latter apparently fin
ished him. 1t was so nearly dark that we
decided to carry him in the sl1iff a mile
down the river to where our sloop was an
chored. We broke the seats out of the boat
and together managed to lift the head of
the alligator aboard and tie it. We then tied
the other end. when the reptile came to
life and landed a blow with his tail which
lifted me out OF the skin into the saw grass
with the breath knocked out OF my body
and my hand and face badly cut by the
grass.
Boat and boatman were capsized As my
rifle had fortunately been left upon the
bank. was able to kill the alligator again,
We secured him by floating the boat under
him and then bailing 1t out. The alligator
completely filled the boat. SO that my COM

antly near the water.
1t was growing dark and the water around
us was becoming alive with aiiigators.
While We were rejecting upon our over
loaded condition. our alligator came to life
again and shifted ballast until water poured
over the gunwale. We quickly balanced the
boat. only to see 1t again disturbed and to
ship more water. A scramble for the shore
followed, which we reached without cap
sizing and where we left our victim for the
night after again killing him. In the MORN

river, surrounded by his family, was sitting
above him in the tree, waiting for us to
attend to our carving duties.

that she had not expected to receive any
thing half so beautiful. She said that while
she appreciated the kind words and praise
of the post. she had only done her duty

ambitious desires. She left the treasury

design, exquisitely colored. Mrs. Hall had

to the front of the stage the pianist, Mrs.
Katherine M. Phillips, who has served Lin

JUDGE DAVIS HAD
HIS HAMMER OUT
PROCEEDED TO JUMP ON THE AID
NERT,SER AND OTHERS THIS
MORNING.

Judge George \. Davis had his ham,
m,r out this morning iu thc police
court He struck while he thought the
iron was hot. the sparks flew and the
hot air was all around Lorrin A.
Thurston, Editor Smith. the Advertiser
the Missionary Parry ct al were the
particular objects of his wordy blows.
The cause of the attack was an edi-
torial in the Advertiser this morning
regarding Davis administration of the
business in the police court. The
particular thing that drew forth the
remarks wa sa motion by High Sheriff
Brown that sentence be suspended in
the case of All Thu a Chinese convicted
OF selling liquor without license.
well! l don't know" Judge Davis
said. whether l had better suspend
sentence in this case or not. The Ad-
vertiser and the papers might attack
me for doing it. l want to say right
here that Lorrin A. Thurston and his
Missionary Gang are trying to do me
up. They have begun to attack me
again and are continuing the attack
upon me in the columns of the Ad-
vertiser. This morning a certain
sCurrilous editorial appeared in that
paper rejecting upon me as Judge of
this court. The attack on me is by
Thurston the ring leader of the pro-
motors of Kihei plantation a scheme
whereby thousands Of dollars Of honest
hard working people were sunk in that
proposition. This same LOrrin Thurs
ton is the man who received all manner
of honor from the former government.
He was granted railroad franchise,
he was granted franchises to run cleo
trio cars about the streets of Honolulu
and he was granted various other pri-
vileges. and he was given high honor
and he rewarded that government by
being one of those who overthrow the
Queen. l am reciting these facts not
because | am opposed to the presence
of the cars or improvements of that
description but l simply mention these
things to show what character of man
he is.
Through the columns of his scurru-.
lous paper, he and his scoundrelly edi
tor are attacking me. Not that l care
personally but my family are concern
ed in this matter as well. When gov
ernor Dole appointed me to this posi-
ton, it was an evidence of the conf
dence that he had in me. But these
attacks have continued by the Mis-
sionary party. l don't include Gov
ernOr Dole. all honor to him but the
attacks are by the ThurstOn gang. l
am here presiding in this court in the
absence of a man who is Ill in the hos
pital. l wish that that man would re-
sumo his duty and l might leave this
bench. so that l could show that these
attacks are directed solely against me
personally.
