had IAN undeveloped mind In con-
versation the child wandered abrupt
ly from the subjects on which she was
addressed. A popularity was an ex-
ceedingly jealous regard for her own
eating utensils-spoon, mug, etc
which she would never allow anyone
else to touch. Yet she remembered the
names of her schoolmates and acted
nationally enough in minor matters
There was much wrangling between
counsel over questions and answers
also verbal distinctions. The hearing
occupied the day, yet is little more
than begun.
UNSPEAKABLE BRUTALITIES.
Judge De Bolt granted a divorce to
Becky Kaluna against Ben Kaluna on
the ground of extreme cruelty The
complaint thus succeeding contained
a pitiful tale of woman's suffering from
mans brutality. Kicking his wife in
the abdomen, gouging her eyes and
breaking her leg with a club We're
among the instances of the husbands
attentions.
Lono Keanini has brought a libel in
divorce against John Keanini, alleging
extreme cruelty, desertion, failure to
provide and criminal infidelity One
Meleana is named as his partner in
guilt. The allegations of cruelty are
horrible in detail. After statement
that the parties We're married in Ho-
nolulu on Dec. 1, 1893, the hbellant
says:
THAT shortly after the said mar
riage said respondent began to treat
over a year thereafter continued to so
treat libellant; that during said period
of one year, at intervals of few days.
respondent either beat libellant with
his fists. kicked or otherwise i'll treat
ed her. and that more particularly on
or about the first day of January, A.
D. 1901, without cause Or provocation,
respondent made a brutal attack upon
1ibellant. and beat her upon the head
and face with his clenched fist, kicked
her in the abdomen with his feet, he
then having heavy shoes on, and
dragged her over the floor by the hair
of her head; that in consequence of said
I'll treatment as aforesaid libeIlant be-
came ill, was confined to her room for
several days and by reason of the
wounds and bruises inflicted by re-
spondent on the face of Ibellant she
was unable to leave her home for two

MINORS ESTATE GROWS.
The fifth annual account of F. w
Macfarlane and August Ahrens, guard
ians of the property of George Rich
ardson, a minor. was approved yester-
day by Judge Robinson, together with
the masters report thereon by NJ. T.
Simonton. Receipts were $1S,3 42. So and
payments $17,09075, leaving a balance
of $1251.60. Capital receipts amounted
to $4,000, while $4,000 was invested in
Pioneer Mill Co. 6 per cent bonds. At
tention is called to the fact that this
investment exceeded the amount order
ed by the court to be so invested but
the master says:
while it is doubtless within the
scope of the master to recommend that
the guardians be surcharged with said
sum of two thousand dollars, still the
master does not feel justified in so do
ing, being cognizant of the careful
mana cement of the wards affairs by
the present guardians. From inVesti- |
cation made and from information Civ |
en-, the master finds that the invest |
ment in the bonds of said Pioneer Mill |
Company, Limited, by guardians or |
trustees is almost unanimously con- |
sidered as commendable and safe in |
Vestment. The master would therefore |
recommend that the further inyestrne 1T |
here noted be approved by your |
Honor
Income receipts We're $11,542. So. and |
disbursements $239S.3S. Since closing
the account the guardians have re- |
mitted $559.03, balance of the wards |
school bill from Rev. A. H. Brown of |
st. Johns School for one year. This
and another small matter so over to
next account
