MISSING THOUSAND DOLLARS.
In the matter of the estate of Kua-
lana (w), deceased, Judge Robinson ap-
pointed J. A Thompson as administrator
under a bond of $1,000. Edmund H.
Hart had been the temporary admin
istrator on the petition of Henry H.
Huihui who prayed for the same ap-
pointee in a permanent capacity. At
the hearing C. w. Ashford appeared
for the petitioner, and w. T. Rawlins
for d. KaiIua, contestant. 1t was at
the request of Rawlins that Thompson
was appointed. Ashford having no OBJ
jections to the appointment. Huihui
claimed to be the nephew of deceased,
testifying at former hearing that he
knew of no other relative. He believ-
ed it was necessary to have a Temporal
ry administrator at that time, so that
one Kaiewe (l). who had lived with
the deceased, should not dispose of the
$1,000 cash which the petitioner under
stood to constitute the estate.
In the hearing, when Thompson was
appointed, Kaiewe failed to account
for the $1,000 and was summary COM
mitted to the grand jury.
OTHER PROBATE MATTERS.
Judge Robinson granted the petition
of w. F. Allen, guardian of Walter
Ross Cpfergelt and Leonora Opfergelt,
minors, to increase their monthly al
lowance from $40 to $50. Walter is now
IA, and Leonora II years of age, and
the petitioner represented that the
former allowance was inadequate in
order properly to care for and educate
them owing to their advancing years
and increasing needs. The income of
the estate for 1902 was $500, and the
actual expense for the care, mainte-
nance and education of the children
that year exceeded their allowance by
$3059.
J. A. Gilman administrator of the
estate of John Phillips, deceased. has
presented his final account to the Cir
cult Court. He charges himself with
$453 and asks to be allowed $3.50, so
that the balance is $377.50.

estate of the late DIR. Richard Oliver,
has rendered his final account. 1t

$4,000. but this had been assigned to A.
S. Cleghorn as security for debt a
mounting to $59,076.74.
