MOTH SERIOUSLY HURT AT
MINES IN TAYLOR 81

Last evening abuot 1880 O'clock a
serious accident occurred In a mine
at Simpson, Taylor county. resulting
most seriously for two men. William
Reed and George Wllnoth. Reed Is
a miner and was working in the mines
when he struck a seam Of slate which
had to be blasted. He asked Wilmotk
to aid him and two shots Of dynamic
were placed and touched of. The
men ran and got away before the e1s
plosion occurred.
They then went back, but one Of
the shots had failed to go on, and as
they approached the explosion came.
The men were both terribly burned
aud knocked unconscious. They lay.
in that condition until 1880, when VII
moth sufficiently recovered to crawl
about 400 yards to callfor help.
The men were brought to the Nj
ners Hospital in this city on the noon
train today. Mr. Reeds wife accom-:
panied them. The men are both inI
a serious condition. Their faces look
almost as IL they had been cooked.
They have a chance Of recovery but
they will be greatly disag,ired for life.

MANY
FAVOR
RECOUNT
THINK THAT THE
CLOSE RESULT OVER SHREIVAL-
TY SHOULD BE CONTESTED.

There was quite marked sentiment
this morning in favor of the RepubH-
cans asking for a recount The re-
count would be sought in the interest
of A. M. Brown the defeated Republican
for sheriff of Oahu county. The Re-
publicans concede his defeat by from IA
to IS votes. Where 5000 votes were cast
with such a slight margin of difference
between the candidates, and from 400 to
500 ballots rejected it is argued that
every effort ought to be made to secure
a count of rejected ballots If many
were, as claimed, thrown out on ground
less technicalities. other ballots were
accepted in other precincts i'm disregard
of the ruling that in some precincts had
resulted i'm ballots being rejected.
Chairman Harry Murray of the Re-
publican committee has expressed him
self as very much in favor of seeking
for such recount but he will not act in
the matter leaving the decision In the

What Iaukea
Has To Say
Of Himself
TAKES HIS VICTORY MODESTLY
AND SAYS IT WAS NOT UNEX-
PECTED-HIS OFFICE POLICY.

Iaukea was the subject of congra-
tulations coming to him from all parts
Of the island, and by both word of
mouth and telephone. He took his
victory very modestly.
During the past few days" he said
"I have received so many and such as
surances of support from the white ele-
ment of the electorate that together
with the assurances 1 had from the
Hawaiian element, 1 felt fairly sure
of election 1 realized it was the Ha-
waiians who would elect me as they
are so much more numerous than the
foreigners, and l was therefore more
concerned about them and whether
their assurances would be kept than L
was regarding the foreigners, not how
ever, failing to appreciate their as
surances and their help. The night
before the election l became satisfied,
that if the assurances given me by
the Hawaiians were carried out, 1
should be elected.
"I have been elected and 1 am CRATE
full to those who gave me their sup
port In the conduct of the office
shall try to do my whole duty. 1
dwelt so much on my purposes during
the campaign that l can only repeat
now what | said then"

ANSWERS TO BEEF TRUST CASE.


The answers cf Z. a. Knudsen of Kauo
and II. NJ von Holt of Oahu as defend
ants in the beef trust case, were filed
WITH the United States clerk yesterday,
The answers are filed by BalIou and
Marx. Knudsen denies various allega-
tions of the original petition he espe-
cially denies that he is engaged or ever
has been engaged or will engage in the
meat raising business in restraint of
trade. He also claims that Ire does not
sell his beef outside of the island Of
Kauai. Won Holt denies that he has
ever been engaged in raising beef for the
market and says he has simply been a
director of the ranch department of tire
Oahu Railway and Land Company and
that concern has, on its own behalf
filed an answer to the charge brought
against it.
