THE application for change OF
venue in the case of the estate of John
T. Morrison VS.. Lancaster county for
$50, 900 damages on account OF the KILL
ing of Morrison at the hands Of a mob
has revived the controversy that grew
out of the affair At the time, and the
quarrel nov seems TO be more heated
than ever. In his testimony before
Judge Gage, in behalf of the change or
venue, Solicitor Henry is quoted as
having made the statement that no Of
ficer Of Lancaster county ever render
ed him any assistance In getting tes-
timony against the lynchers, and this
has brought forth a very warm card
from Sheriff John P. Hunter Of Lam
caster who asserts that he made as
to the identity of the lynchers as did
the solicitor and he thinks the solic-
itor has done him grave injustice in
the matter Sheriff Hunter. however,
does not profess TO have any sympathy
for the present suit. In the first PLACE
he is by 10 means certain that the
lynching took place in Lancaster coun-
ty at all; but is inclined to the prob
ability that it was really in Kershaw
county, and in the second place, he
intimates that the motive behind the
present suit is rot so much the Vindl-
cation of the law as 1t Is the S5O,OOO
Sheriff Hunters card is in very good
taste throughout: but we are Inclined
to the impression that il must be based
partly at least on misapprehensloh,
as we have not previously understood
that he was ever accused of any dere-
liction of duty in this matter. Accord
ing to our information of the circum-
stances of the lynching, and subse-
ouent developments, Sheriff Hunter ac-
Quilted himself in every particular as
becomes such an ideal officer as he Is
generally considered to be.
THE expressed desire of the people of

A little white boy named McMa-

day by a piece of stone thrown out
from a heavy blast. He was 500 yards
away from the scene of the explosion
and the piece of stone that struck him
was about the size of a mans fist.
Death was instantaneous.

John Siemsen, who claims to be a
Hawaiian. and who is under arrest in
san Francisco for the murder of Friede
and the Japanese bank officials, is we'll
known on Hawaii. He has been in
prison several times in the Territory
for petty stealing. Several years ago
he developed into handy boy with his
hands and boxed several times in the
ring at Hilo with men from the trans
ports. His last match was with the
mate of a lumber schooner and by
whom he was knocked out. Just be-
fore going into the ring the last time,
he was arrested for stealing a pair of
shoes from a man rooming in a lodg-
ing house where Siemsen made his
headquarters For a time before be-
coming a boxer he was engaged as as
sistant engineer in the electric light
works in Hilo and was considered a
fairly good man. After being arrested
for stealing the shoes he disappeared
from HiIo and was next heard of in
San Francisco serving time for robbing
the room of one of the Hawaiian sing
ers who happened to be playing an en-
ga gement there.
Siemsens brother Charlie is the hus-
band of the daughter of Postmaster
Desha of Hilo and was at one time
clerk in the office of the Superinten-
dent of Public Works here. Another
brother has been employed by the Vol
cano Stables Co, in Hilo at various
