TALE OF A TAILOR.
| Several letters have been printed re-
Gently rejecting upon Deputy Sheriff
F. Wittrock of Hama for discharging
from office kahele, the Kipahulu jailor
Now the truth of the matter is the
Maui supervisors failed to appropriate
money for jailors salaries because
jails are under territorial Jurisdiction,
and hence Mr.. Wittrock had no power
either to reappoint or discharge IA
hele.
| All this was beyond the jailor's COM
prehension, and so he wrote the high
sheriff that Wittrock had discharged
! why he did so. Then several letters
appeared in the newspapers heapins
abuse on the innocent deputy sheriff.
! Kahele thinking that he had lost his
position, was naturally much offended.
