Mrs. George Gear Has
Strange and Painful
Accident.

Mrs George D. Gear met with an
unusual and painful accident at her
home at Kaimuki yesterday.
The Judge is quite farmer and live
stock is greatly in evidence about his
premises Two cows and calves af-
ford much milk and opportunity for
pleasant study of bovine traits to the
Gears.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Gear wanted
to milk one of the cows, and in order
to get it to the milking shed, pro-
ceeded to tie a rope roand the neck
of the calf, thinking that where the
calf went the COW would follow.
The COW, which is famous for its
tameness and good nature, watched the
roping of the calf with an angry eye,
and suddenly made a rush at Mrs.
Gear, tossing the lady over a fence into
the next lot.
stayed in bed all day. No serious re-
suits are apprehended.
Judge Gear was appearing in a case
in the District Court when he receiv-
ed a telephone message that his wife
had been horned by a cow
The case was dropped for the time
being and the Judge set out for his
home Immediately.
He was greatly relieved, on his ar
rival, to find things no worse than
they We're.

FOR BIG PULL

Every detail in connection with the
rreparations for relocating the trans
port sheridan have been completed and
today, probably this afternoon, com
bined pull will be made by the Buford,
Manning and Iroquois, in which it IS
confidently expected that the stranded
vessel will be hauled on the sand and
towed safely into port.

Ship there has been no attempt made

having struck the beach at slow
speed, so slow, in fact, that she did not

worked further ashore to hold her
steady. Yesterday three more anchors
were laid, upon which she will pull to-
day. and all the cables arranged for the
towing.
The steamer Iwalani has been work

one of the anchors to be placed. She

COFFEE GROWERS MISTAKE
Geo. w. McDongall. in charge of the
Kona Agricultural Company's pIanta-
ton, has demonstrated that a serious
mistake was made in the early expert
ments with coffee in this island in the
system of trimming trees. He says it
S a demonstrated fact that trees should
be allowed to grow and not be pruned
back, as was done by all coffee growers
here He also approves of planting
trees as closely as three feet apart in
each direction and thinning out as trees
attain their growth. The benefit of al
lowing the coffee trees to grow without
trimming was accidentally discovered
by a man having a few coffee trees
near Hiio, attention to which was called
by the Tribune recently.

a Honolulu lawyer said yesterday,
I asked one of my clients, a saloon
man, why he didn't support Iaukea for
Sheriff. He answered that he liked
laukea personally, but it was simply
a matter of business. Under Brown the
town was wide-open one and the sa-
looms made money. As for Iaukea. he
understood that he would strictly en-
force the law and he. for one, could
not afford TO have such a Sheriff in

Going by the rear of the house, he

away with a new suit Of clothes be-
longing to a yard boy, who was using

The thief next visited the room of
a Chinese servant, but was seen. and
an alarm raised. He got clean away

An immense mineral field has been opened up right at

mines are developing very rapidly every mine opened
up should be made feeder to Baxter Springs Every
man who within gates should be made feel
perfectly wecome he should be made feel sorry that he
did not come to Baxter Springs The population
OF the mining camp bound to increase; it is increasing
every day. The people of Baxter Springs who able
and who own lots of property the town. should get to-
gether and let opportunity escape to advance their
terla interests, by advancing the interests of the town
What will help the little fellow will largely help the
big fellow because he able to seize every oppor
