More About Destroyed His Trees.

An article recently published
in the Monroe City News stated
that certain trees along Mr.. ].
M. Proctor's fence had been cut
down and that material injury
was done Mr.. Proctor.
No names or circumstances
were mentioned in said publica.
tion and the impression was
thereby conveyed that the trees
were cut with the intention to
injure Mr.. Proctor and the mat
ter still being talked, therefore,
we the undersigned. who we're
prese 1t and did what cutting
was done, beg leave to submit
he following statement:
We were repairing the tele-
phone line from Indian Creek to
Monroe City. In SD doing we
found it necessary to cut some
brush limbs and a few small
worthless saplings such as CON-
only grow along old fence lines
by the edge of timber and con-
sisting If wateroak, honeylo'
Gust, elm and wild cherry.
All were obstructing the tele-
phone wires and were outside
the fence, save one small worth
less, crooked, deformed and
knotty wate:cak which was in
side the fence, but the tops OF
which were an obstruction to
the wires.
We had no lntention whatever
to iujure Mr.. Proctor in the
least and We removed only such
distractions as we were obliged
to remove and such as are com.
monly\cut in such cases along
other places.

Revs. Frs. II. Mullen and Cur

Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Hagan

church was crowded to the
limit with dear and admiring
friends.
The bride in white, reminded
one of lovely pure fully
matured white rose and her APP
pearanCe on that emOrable
afternoon was indicative of the
pure matured woman.
After the happy ceremony,
there was four o'clock dinner
served at the home of the bride
which will be their future home.
That dinner cooked by Ann
johnson, would be a dream for
an epicure, for 1t was not only
elaborate, but cooked and
served to the thirty guests just
as it should be.
AS the bride and groom each
had grown children, a supper
and pleasant evening was serv-
ed and spent by twenty-four Of
their young friends with them
and the loving couple.
Mrs. Belle Hagan Elliott is
one of those interesting, charm.
ing women to know is to ad-
mire.
AS for Jim. well, he is a mere
man. but a sound, solid bust

fresh with them all through

PAYMASTER MAY DEPART

Paymaster I, r. Hagner at the naval

morning announcing that he had been
ordered home. The cable did not state
whether he was to be ordered to Wash

then return to Honolulu, or else he
would be relieved by some other Off
Ger so that Hagner could go to sea.
1t is likely that the official order will

VIDA TELLS HOW
KOREAN CONFESSED
SAYS IT WAS WHEN CONFRONTED
WITH WITNESS AND NOT AFTER
BEING MALTREATED

The charges of brutal treatment
made against myself by the Korean Y.
Marn Young are absolutely without
foundation" said Assistant Sheriff
Henry Vida this morning. There was
never any brutal methods adopted to
secure confession from him. The
man broke down and confessed his
guilt when we were able to produce the
man to whom he had sold the pistol
and to produce the pistol as we'll
When the Korean was first taken in
to custody he made a statement re-
garding his movements before and af-
ter the shooting of the other Korean.
Young denied at first having shot the
other man and denied having had any
pistol We investigated the statements
made by him and found them to be
false. He had told us various places
he had been, about the time of the
shooting. These statements were in
vestigated and found to be false. The
inquiry into these statements was the
cause of delay in the further examna-
ton of the man.
Finally when he found the Korean to
whom the suspected man had sold the
weapon, with which Chan San Duk had
/ been shot, Young broke down and ad-
mitted his guilt. He admitted that he
| had shot Chan San Duk. The first
thing Young said when we produced
the Korean who had bought the gun
was well, suppose he tell you every
thing" and then Young proceeded to
| confess
I'VE did not use any water cure, OF
threaten him or do anything of the
kind. We were two days finally Sc
curing the evidence which resulted in
discredting his first story and also in
securing evidence that caused him tc
confess. The statement that he had
been without food for any time is false
The man was fed regularly along with
other prisoners in the station"

BRUTAL DEED
ON THE SEA

that the man was on board, and they
kept it to themselves.
At about eight o'clock on the even
ing of July H. a report was made to
the chief boatswain that stowaway
had fallen through hatch and was in
jured. He was lying in the hold. The
boatswain, according to the witnesses
this morning, ordered that the man be
thrown overheard. The man lay with
ing in agony, but not the slightest eff
fort to help him was made, except by
one man.
although l was ordered to throw
him overheard" said the witness Ha-
seu, one of the seamen this morning,
still he was a human being and l
couldn't do that. I got a bucket of
water and took it down intending to
help him"
At twelve Haseu went off watch and
the order to throw the man overheard
was carried out Three men, Hoshi-
yama, Sakai and the second boatswain,
said the witness, lifted the injured man
by ropes tied to him or the dead body
which ever it was from the hold. "They
threw it overheard on the port side, in
front of the foremost rigging" said
Haseu.
"was the man dead?" asked Commits
sioner Mailing at this point.
YES" said Haseu.
"How do you know" asked Brec-
kons.
The witness said the second bos'un
and another Jap told him so. That
was all he know about it, The men
who told him so were two of the men
who tied the rope to the body and
! lifted it UP. The three were the Sec
ond bos'un, Sakai and Yokomoto.
All this happened without Captain
Amberman even knowing that he had
ever had a stowaway on board. After
arrival here, however there began tc
be rumors about the strange occur
renee, and it was reported that Jap
! anese had been thrown overheard
while alive, and his money and effects
stolen. The descriptions of his condt'
ton so far given, when he was las
seen, indicate that he was alive wher
his brutal companions cast his body
| into the sea. AS far as the vessel was
! concerned that ended the incident, un
! til Honolulu was reached, but there
win be a rigid investigation here.
The boatswain of the vessel, getting
wind of the investigation that was un
der way disappeared and this morning
warrant for his apprehension was
issued
One theory of the case is that the mer
who threw the body over were in col
2
and were getting him a passage here
| When he received injuries it was evi
dent that if he remained on board and
was theated they were likely to b.
discovered, hence they determined t.
throw him over. Another possibilit!
is that knowing of his possession o
considerable money they carried on
conspiracy to get rid of him b,
throwing him into the hold and ther
/ getting rid of the body.
