KIDNAPPED CHILD
kept TEN DAYS

| WAlLUKU, December 1.-THE COM
munity was startled Tuesday morning of
this week, the Maui News says, to learn
that kidnapers were responsible for
spiriting away the little two-year-old
daughter of Antoine +. Serene ON De-
eember and keeping the child until
reward of two hundred dollars was
offered for the return of the child
For some days after the child was
stolen many believed that the child
had become lost and in all probability
persisted for want of food.
1t is reported from Hama that the
parents were informed that the child
was not dead and it was suggested that
reward be offered. This was done
and the same published in the News
and large posters printed here and for
warded to Hama by the Claudine Satur-
day.
When these posters were put up the
father of the little child was informed
that the child would be returned Tues
day. This information was given by |
the son of well known kahuna of |
the district and true to his statement |
the child was returned on that day.
The child was well and had evident |
ly been taken good care of. 1t had |
been kept about four and half miles
up the mountain in a deserted house.
That it was a deliberate case of kid
naping is not questioned, as it would |
be impossible for the child to live ten
DAYS without food.
The notice are making every effort
TO ferret out the mystery and have ar
rested two persons and are holding
them for investigation.
This case deserves the most vigor-
Gus efforts on the part of the author
tiles that the guilty parties may be
punished for their crime.
BAD ROAD WORK.
]. H. Wilson, County Superintendent
of Roads, made his monthly report TO
