%, telling of visit to the crater where
ahe main lava flow started:
There were six of us with two native
guides and two pack animals. We
started from upper Hoopuloa at 4 a.
an, rode till 1890, had lunch and then
rode till 4:30 and made camp.
The first part Of the ride was fine
through the woods, though all the ferns
were dead-lookihg from the sulphur
smoke. The last part of the ride was
over tough "a with streaks of pahoe-
hoe. We had to look out for holes
and bubbles. Every once in a while an
animal would break through.
Without waiting to eat we each took
grub and water and blanket and
walked over "a about mile. We
could then look across about two blocks
and see the crater where all the lava
came from. We could not get to it on
account of flow of hot lava.
We could see lot of smoke up ma
mka, and there was a great deal of
heat coming out of the crater, but at
dark all that showed up was an in
candescent cone.
We thought of going mauka but we
noticed quite bit of fire makai, so
we got on hill below and saw that
things were doing. We watched it a
mile and half distant, and could see
that lava flow was coming from this
place. We decided to get down there,
and got along very well travelling over
rotten lava, and now and then breaking
into hole couple of feet deep; not
knowing but that we might break into
one fifteen or twenty feet deep we
went in single file.
We finally got to point where we
could look right down into lake of
red hot lava about 500 feet in dia-
meter. 1t was grand. We had been
following down partly-cooled flow.
We climbed partly on top of this to
get a better view. We stayed there
half hour and took pictures but could !

MURDER OF
KOREAN LEPER

LIHUE. February 4.-On Wednesday
January %. the body of a Korean leper
was found by three of the McBryde
Sugar Company's men in heap OF
loose dirt beside the Laval ditch. The
men first discovered blood on the road.
and followed the trail to the mound
of dirt. After the Deputy Sheriff at
Koloa had had the body excavated, 1t
was discovered that the Korean had
been murdered. as the body was
bruised and lacerated as though It had
been pounded with clubs. There was
a deep wound in the back OF his head
evidently made by sharp instrument
1t was five days after the crime before
the Sherif or the County Attorney were
notified of the crime. The Deputy
Sheriff had tried to ferret the criminals
out himself. but with little success. Up
to the present time no clue has been
gained to the murderers. Robbery was
probably the motive of the crime. as
the dead man in life had been possess

Saw the Lava Flows Source

not see all the lake as il was partly
behind bluff.
We were getting more used to our sur
roundings and little Drawer, and
walked down further, and kept getting
better view. 1t became grander still.
At length we saw the whole lake, and
found two great holes in the side of
the bluff out of which two streams of
lava were running. A little way from
shore there was a fountain that kept
shooting hot lava fifty or sixty feet
into the air. The lake would cool in
spots making little black islands, and
great tidal wave of molten lava
would rush across the lake and bury
these islands. We sat there three or
four hours watching it; and it never let
up once, the scene continually chang
ing.
There was flow of hot lava between
us and the lake. Some of us wanted
to get still closer. So we crossed the
flow which was all aglow underneath
and got right to the base Of the lake
which had built itself up about sixty
feet. We found ourselves looking up
a glowing hill to the rim of the lake.
1t did not look safe so we sneaked
back. We were all tired and decided
to sleep, but being pretty well under
meath things hot we thought it best
to take hour watches as we could not
tell when a flow might come down on
us. Not only that but we thought the
walls Of the lake might give way and
rush down the hill and we wanted to
see it.
Next morning Terry and crossed
the flow again wanting to get on the
bluff to look right down into the lake,
but We could only get part way on
account of hot lava.
l think we saw grander sight than
any who went to the flow. We were
the first to go up there from the
Kona side, and do not think that peo-
pie could get there from the Kau
side. Mr.. Gartley may furnish pic
lures of the lake.

NETT BOUGHT A GUN
BEFORE DISAPPEARING

| Carl Nett, an expert accountant in
Bishop & Co.'S bank for many years
has disappeared and all the evidence
secured points to his probable suicide.
An examination of his books shows a
defalcation of $500, the discovery of
which occurred within a few minutes
after he had hurriedly left the bank.
The money which the accountants
posted in the bank on January 80, the
deposit entry in the depositor's book
being in the handwriting of the miss
ing man. On Tuesday check for the
amount deposited was presented at the
bank and payment refused, the ledger
showing no money to the credit Of the
drawer. Shortly afterwards the
drawer of the check appeared at the
bank with his book and asked for an
explanation of why his check had been
dishonored.
His appearance had evidently been
noted by Nett, who Immediately left
the bank building, ostensibly to go to
Cunha's, just across the road. He
never appeared at Cunha's, nor has he
since returned to the bank. Within a
few minutes of his disappearance from
Bishop & Co.'s, however, he purchaser
3S-caliber Harrington revolver ct the
store of C. M. Tai, on King street, get
ting at the same time box of fifty
cartridges. He explained to the clerk
that he wanted the gun to shoot cats
with.
The theory Of the police is that Nett
took the $500 when 1t was deposited,
depending on being able to replace 1t
before the defalcation was discovered.
The sudden demand for the money,
however, upset whatever plans he may
he e had, and in desperation at the
position In which he found himself he
purchaced the revolver and has prob
ably taken his own life.
In this connection 1t is remembered
that some years ago a close personal
friend of Nett, a Gel man, committed
suicide In the crater of Diamond Head,
his body lying undiscovered for
Nett has had domestic trouble. Late
ly he secured a divorce from his wife. |
These things brought him financial diff |
ficulty and for some time he has prac-
tised rigid economy In his personal
affairs. 1t is feared his mind is af-
fected. Telegraphic orders have been
sent TO San Francisco and to Hilo for
his apprehension should he turn up at
either point. The steamer Alameda be-
fore departure was searched in vain
for him.
There are few of his contemporaries
who have stood higher In the esteem
Of their employers or been more gen.
orally liked in Honolulu than Carl
Nett. He has several children. a son
having left here some time ago In a
sailing vessel. Mr.. Nett was an enthu-
siastic charter member OF the Honolulu
symphony Club.

WILL HAVE new TYPE

At a meeting Of the stock
holders Of The Times Publish
ing Co., held last Monday even
ing it was decided to put in an
entire new dress of type for the
paper and job department.
In line with the progress this
city has shown in the past few
years, this paper will be in the

things in this city, the material
now in use, is slightly out Of
date, and the move made by the
board OF directors is most time
ly, aud they have our sincere
thanks.
1t will be our aim to get out
a better paper, both typograph-
ically and also in a more newsy
manner. But Notwithstanding
this, we need the assistance OF
all in gathering the news. We
also hope that our subscribers
and patrons will appreciate this
move by giving us all the sup
port they possibly can.

McoLELLAN's PROPER VETO.

Mayor Mcclellan of New York City
was put in a close place by the passage
of the bill for a recount of the votes
for Mayor of New York. He is sup
posed TO be the beneficiary of frauds at
the election, that recount Of the votes
would demonstrate, 1t was therefore n
very ungracious task for him to pass
upon tins bill at all; and it was espe-
cially tender point for him to veto
it,, az he has done. And yet it seems
to us that he has exhibited great moral
courage and intellectual force in doing
so, and in stating very good reasons
therefor.
Mayor Mcclellan justly says that if
there is to be recount of the votes of
New York, that recount ought to be
complete. He should have the benefit of
all the votes. He is just AS much en-
titled to this as Hearst is to have

OF all the Inconsistency that the

say anything in Washington which
would render the Smith position insc-

holding of ecclesiastical position by
law w'breakers, Taylor and Cowley were
