Court against L. Ahuna, has submitted
an answer to the motion of the de-
PENDANT that he be required to file a
bond to cover whatever damages, il

FEDERAL COURT SENTENCES.
Indictments in three cases We're re-
turned in partial report of the Fed
eral grand jury yesterday morning,
and in two Of the cases the indicted
ones were arraigned before Judge

Inouye, whose indictment had been
placed on the secret file, We're also ar

same penalty as Camancho, with the
exception that Nishikawa will spend
two months on the reef.
The third indictment, which also had
been on the secret file, was that

Along case was made and granted yes
terday before Judge De Bolt, despite
the objections raised by Frank Thomp-
son, attorney for the party complain
ant Bessie r. Burns, who asked that

LOWRIE VS.. BALDWIN.
Another move was made in the $780,
100 damage suit brought by w. ]. Low
rie against H. P. Baldwin, r. D. Sill
man filing an affidavit regarding
he had had with w. r.
Castle in 1906, in which the matter of
he superseding of Lowrie was dis
,ussed. The underlying intention in
he affidavit is to show that Lowrie is
bringing the suit in Honolulu in good
aith, believing that he has good
grounds for action. The affidavit
quotes from a letter written by Sill
nan to Castle in July, in which he
aid

lowrie had a contract with James B.

Now the matter in hand relates to
