RASFQRD,S BINGOMBE.
According to expectations, the
last issue Of the Redtield Press,
edited by O. Sanctimonious Bas-
ford, was largely devoted to the
Free Press and Hon. G. 81. Burke.
After a careful perusal OF what
the Press has to say the only c. IL
clusion is that it hasn't said any
thing, albeit the paper still per-
sists in reiterating and working
over the falsehoods it furnished
in past Issues.
The only point III issue just
now, between the Free Press and
Mr.. Basford's paper, is that the
latter has printed the statement
that Congressman Burke has been
opposed to the rate Legislation
proposed by the president of the
United States. This paper, by
printing II part of the Congress
sional Record. and referring to
other parts of it, giving pages
and dates, has conclusively proven
that Mr.. Burke has stood and
now stands with President Roose-
velt on the railroad rate PROPOSE
ton. Basford valves all this
aside-the official record--and
franticalty proceeds to reiteratc
his falsehoods and try 10 deceive
the people. Notwithstanding he
frequently wears the clerical
robes of a church and breaches to
his hearers Il certain passage IN
Holy Writ. found ia ENota.ls
twentieth chapter. which says,
amongst other commandments J:
g Thou shalt mol a,ear false W.T.
ness against thy neighlpor. This
may be stating it pretty strong
against Brother Rasfoid. but ii is
the fact nevertheless.
There is nothing more TO reply
10 in what Elder Basford SAYS on
the ssabiee'f. He has been proven
4 preyafslcadda by the record. and
won't acknowledge ii. He is en-
failea to the contempt of all fair
minded people, and only shows
up his dishonest motives by still
persistng in Il course of reckless
disregard OF the truth.
The Free Press is pleased to
note that the journal Observer,
of Redtieia, printed entire the
ari.'ale in this paper, which gives
Mr.. Bur'ke's record in congress
ON The rate question. so that the
readers Of both the journal OBJ
server and Press in Sphinx county
will BE able to Judge as to who is
The liar.
We want rosassnre Elder Bias
ford that Dewell is not ..side-
stepping, whatever that means.

facts and let such gentry as Bas-
ford dodge thsm-if they can.

ing government lands located in the
kalwiki-Wailea tract, consisting of
about $500 acres. The lease on this
tract to the Hakalau Plantation Co.
expires June Is, 1906. There are about
1900 acres cleared and under cultiva-
ton and is regarded as a very valua-
BILE tract in the very heart of the plan

an annual rental of $4,000. In response
to the application of the Association,
Commissioner Pratt has replied stating
that it is not his intention to open up

DR.. SHEPARDSOn'S
CONDITION GRAVE

The Rev. DR.. Shepardson, at a late
hour last night, was unconscious and
not expected to live. He became very
nervous last Saturday night and soon
afterward his condition, which had
long been at the point of breaking, be-
came worse. Yesterday afternoon he
sank rapidly, his temperature running
beyond 103. AT 10 o'clock last night he
was no better and it was reported that
Mrs. Shepardson had given up hope.
Arrangements were made by this paper
to be notified up to l AS this morning of
any turn of the patient for better or
it becomes known this morning, will
evoke wide sympathy, as he has en-
deared himself to the people of Cen
trail Union Church during his Temporary
pastorate. DIR. Augur is the attending
physician.
At 1:45 o'clock this morning, DR.. Shep-
ardson's condition was reported to be
unchanged. No new developments have
arisen since 10 last night Having
passed the midnight hour in safety, it
is possible that he may live another
day.
At 2:15 this morning, word was re-
ceived that DR.. Shepardson was sink

RESALE IS
ST|PULATED
Pacific Heights Railway
Fight to Be Upon
Money.

Notwithstanding the pending appeal
to washington on the matter, the re-
sale of the property of the Pacific
Heights Railway Co.. Ltd, is to take
place under the order of Judge Robin
son. Commissioner Simonton is making
arrangements for the event
AS previously reported c. G. Ballen-
type, the purchaser for a thousand dol
lars of the main portion of the plant,
taad Honolulu Rapid Transit & Land
fsCo!, Ltd, a party in interest, took an
appeal to the United States Supreme
Court from the decision of the Hawai-
ian Supreme Court affirming the decree
of Judge Robinson which set aside the
sale for gross inadequacy of price.
Now the contending parties have
come together and concluded that, as
the appeal is not likely to be deter
mined at Washington for a year at
least, the property in the meantime is
liable to deterioration such as would
render it not worth buying at any
price. W. o. Smith, trustee of the
bondholders, and Chas. S. Desky, the
principal shareholder in the defunct
company, are the parties in opposition
to the appellants.
In view of the conclusion of the par
ties on both sides just stated, it has
been stipulated, between Castle &
Wilmington for the appellants and Louis
Warren for the trustee, that the re-
sale shall take place upon due notice.
This will simply change the issue
from a contest over the property to
one over the proceeds of the sale. If
Ballentyne and the Rapid Transit Co.
win their appeal, they will have the
property and the excess of the pro-
ceeds of the resale over the purchase
price of the first sale, with probably
their costs from the other side in ad-
dition. On the other hand, should the
decision Of the Territorial Supreme
Iseurt be sustained, the proceeds of the
resale would go to the trustee for the
bondholders, and any possible surplus
to Desky, while Ballentyne and the
Rapid Transit Co. would probably be
mulcted in costs.
