JAPANESE LIBEL CASE.
Some weeks ago the japanese Sun
day News printed what was considered
libel on Mr.. Higashi, the japanese
merchant, and in the same issue of the
paper was an article rejecting upon a
young Japanese girl. The injured par
ties swore out warrants against the
owner, Okabe, and Temaki, editor of
the paper. The case was called for
trial in the district court week ago
but as Okabe was not on hand his at
torneys, Messrs. Andrews and Irwin,
asked for a continuance of one week,
which was granted On Friday the
case was again called and Okabe was
still absent. His bail was declared for
feited and the editor was called upon
to plead. Much to the surprise of
counsel he pleaded guilty and was fined
one hundred dollars. He pleaded the
same to the second charge, but the ap-
peal by counsel for leniency brought
the prisoner a fifty-dollar fine. AS
Okabe had deposited cash bail for him
self and his editor an effort was made
to have the sheriff accept that de-
posted for the editor as payment of
the fine, but Deputy Sheriff Fetter de-
clined and the man was sent to Jail.
He spent Saturday with the other mis-
demeanants cleaning Front street,
much to the amusement of members of
the Japanese colony with whom, it APP
pears, he is not on the best of terms.
Okabe, the owner of the paper, has
been in the employ of the Richardson's
on Church street for number of years
and has had little experience in news
paper work. 1t is thought he will or
der the money deposited by him used
to pay the fine of the other fellow.
ITEMS.
Word was received from Kona of the
announcement of the engagement of
Miss Eliza Low, sister of Eben Low, to
John Mcguire, the well known cattle
man of Kona and the father of Audi
tor G, X. Mcguire. The wedding will
take place on November 80.
The coffee crop in Kona this season
is large and the berries are ripening SO
fast that it is impossible to secure the
labor to pick them. The crop is excep-
tionally thick and the pickers have no
trouble to earn two dollars day.
The planters are looking for the labor
and will pay good prices.
When the band boys arrived at Pa
hoa last Sunday they found that Su-
pervisor Makuakane had anticipated
their visit and prepared fine luau.
After the feast the boys gave an en-
joyable concert and later went over to
Kapoho where they were well received.
The music was enjoyed by a large
crowd at both places.
DIR. Milton Rice, for the past seven
years resident and practicing physi-
clan in Hilo, has received an offer to
enter into partnership with the former
dean of the college from which he was
graduated and has decided to accept.
He has disposed of his practice here to
DIR. Henry Hayes. The doctor will
locate in Chicago and will leave here
