THE POTATO BLIGHT

The much advertised potato blight
on Maui has practically proved TO be
nothing but potato starvation. In 9TH
err words the Kula and Makawao po-
tato lands have so long been cultivated
to potatoes that the elements OF the
soil essentisal to potato growth have
absolutely been exhausted. New lands,
or Old lands properly fortified with
potato food fertilizers, and planted to
potatoes imported from healthy stock
on the coast or Cn the east produced the
same wonderful potatoes that We're the
pride and delight of the Maui house
wife. This has been demonstrated 10y
practical tests since the alleged blight
appeared, and potatoes can today be
bought in the Makawao district which
are as good as can be raised anywhere
OF earth.-Maui News.

MANY PORTUGUESE STABBED.
Ugly Street Row Last Night with
Painful Results

Five Portuguese We're stabbed during
the course of a row on Kinau street
between Miller and Alapai streets, last
night about Q o'clock The nemes Of
the men injured are John Comes, alias
Spaniola. stabbed in right side. knife
blade entering pleural cavity; serious.
Charles Ferreira, stabbed in right side
of abdomen; not serious. John Hol-
lerson CPeter), stabbed in LETT side of
abdomen; not serious. Antoine SUuza
stabbed in lower part of abdomen: not
serious and Joaquin Tarres. Tarres is
alleged to have stabbed the other men.
He sustained a knife wound in the
right hip. The wound is not serious
however. Most Of the injured men
went to the Queens Hospital.
Versions of the affairs differ consider
ably. Tarres claims that while walking
along Kinau street last night, he heard
a stone Whiz past his head. He turn
ed and saw crowd OF young Portu-
Guese men standing in the shadow He
surmised that they had thrown the
stone at him so he brandishea his
walking stick and drew his pocket knife
and struck couple of his supposed as
sailants, who closed in on him. Tar
res was apparently able to give a good
account of himself for he wounded four
of the men. He thinks that either
Comes Of Ferreira stabbed him. His
reason for this belief is that some days
ago, he got into trouble with these
men because he took the part of a
Portuguese who was being attacked by
them. Comes and Ferreira are quoted
as saying that they would get even"
with Tarres
Fereira claimed that he had been at
tackled by some unknown men. Other
men in the crowd, assert that Tarres
attacked the young men.

The Greeley tribune., 1903-11-19

one OF the most picturesque that the
council has ever held,
The trouble began when just as
the councilmen had commenced to
examine the map showing the streets
upon which it was proposed to run
the line, and to verify the signatures
of the residents along these streets,
d. f. Carmichael and two associates,
headed by II. T.. Churchill of this
city as attorney, appeared and re-
quested that the whole thing be side
tracked until they could prepare
proposed franchise and secure. some of
the streets upon which Mr.. Spear
has already secured the consent Of
the property owners to run his line.
No reason whatever was given why
the council should throw out a plopo-
shown by experts to be absolutely
practicable and which everyone knows
would pe one of the test things for
the town that could happen, for the
sake of helping some outsiders to a
franchise that majority of the
cuurcilmen are now convinced is only
scheme to prevent the building of
the home road.
AS soon as Mr.. Churchill had fin
ished his harangue, II. n. Haynes,
attorney for Mr.. Spear, was on his
feet to show what an injustice and
how senselcss thing it would be for
the council to delay action on Mr..
Spears petition after he had met all
the requirements necessary under the
statutes and rules OF the council with
the whius OF the mayor thrown in.
Alderman Thompson then suggested
that in as mach as it was MI. Spear s
proposition the council had met TO
consider, it would be well to take
that up without complicating it with
another request for franchise, and
hiuted that If Mr.. Churchill and bis
clients would retire for the evening
the same privilege us was then
granted Mr.. Spear and his attorney
would he accorded them at a future
meeting The mayor insisted that
il IL was to be an executive session
nobody except the members OF the
council could be present, and If 1t
were not, then anybody had the priv
