Luna Captured and Maltreated--On His Rescue

Ja.-Railroad Improvements, etc.

MAUI, June 3.-During the past weel
Paia plantation has had some troubl
with it's Koreans, though the difficult,
is now happily settled and all the la
borers have to work except four o
the leaders who are in jail awaiting
further trial.
1t seems that the eighty Koreans al
Paia had a grievance against then
chief luna, Kim, a fellow countryman
Saturday night last, they took him
by force, and locked him up in the
camp where one after another, so it is
reported, took turns in maltreating him
D. c. Lindsay who placed him for
safety in a house where Hoomalu a
luna, resided.
Sunday afternoon, the Koreans gath
cred before Hoomalu's residence, de-
manding that Kim should be deliver
ed to them or otherwise they would at
tack the house. Then it was that Mr.
Lindsay summoned Deputy Sheriff
Morton and the police, who took him
| in charge and secretly placed him in
the plantation hospital, where he re-
mained receiving some attention for
his many bruises.
! On Monday afternoon the Paia Ko-
reans were paid off and another gang
of eighty Koreans from Kailua march
ed to Paia on a sympathetic strike.
The same afternoon, Deputy Sheriff
Morton and five policemen arrested
four of the leaders of the Paia strikers
and quickly placed them in two hacks,
but while they We're driving away the
crowd threw sticks and stones at the
carriages. The police then sprang
from the vehicles, mounted their
horses and, armed with black-snake
whips (Which however they did not
use), hustled the rioting Koreans down
the road to the Spreckelsville boundary
line.
That night all the Koreans returned
to Paia in twos and threes and begged
to be taken back to work, stating tina
the plantation had always used them
we'll and that they We're repentant of
their bad be. aviour. So all is serene
again in the Korean colonies both at
Paia and Kailua.
The police were successful in placing
the four leaders in Jail and on Friday
they were tried for assault before Mag
istrate Chas. Copp OF Makawao. but
the case was continued until next
week.
