The witness was not disposed to
modify his statement as to the necessi-

he considered it absolutely necessary

him as to the proper compensation for
such man, but Kinney objected on
the ground that the witness had not
qualified as an expert in regard to the
business of fixing prices, watching the
market and other matters outside the
routine of cattle shipments, and the
court sustained the objection. Jarrett
thought that such a man might devote
part of his time to another ranch. AS
between his present recollection of his
ability to fill all orders for fat cattle
and the letters that Kinney had read,
he thought the letters were correct.
Henry Hall, a butcher at Honokaa
was the next witness called, and was
testifying to the poor condition of cat
tie furnished him by the ranch, when
the court adjourned for the day.
