willing to tackle the task, but the

.lIEi MYSTERY WAS
EASILY CLEARED UP

The headIess corpse which, accord
ing to one of the japanese papers here,
had been found on Friday last among
the lantana in a gulch near Aiea, turns
out TO be the skeleton of a Chinese who
disappeared two gears ago from Sing
Chong & Co. s rice mill at Waiau. The
story of the japanese paper, repub-
Hshed in the Advertiser yesterday, was
correct in so far as a dead body having
been found, but the other details of the
matter turn out to have been purely
imaginary. The corpse was not head
less. neither was it found by japanese,
nor is. there any further mystery in
the affair at ALL Deputy Sheriff John
Fernandez, of Eva, has sent the fol-
lowing facts to the Advertiser.
Last Friday morning a telephone
message was received by the Deputy
Sheriff from the Honolulu plantation
stating that a body had been found in
Waiawa gulch by a number of Portu-
guese labOrers. Deputy Sherln Fer
nandez went over to investigate. find
ing that it was the body of China
man, dead evidently for couple of
years. only the skeleton remaining.
Fernandez gathered up the bones and
took them to the Eva Court House.
Some TWO years ago the disappear
ance of a Chinaman named Char Mi,
had been reported to Fernandez by
Manager Akana. of the Waiau rice
mill. the lost man being about sixty
years old and very eccentric in his
manner, travelling about without mott
flying his friends of his whereabouts.
Akana's attention was called to the
found body and a son of Char Mis- was
telephoned for from Kaalaea, Koolasl.
The son identified his fathers BODY by
a watch charm found on it,
The Deputy Sheriff has concluded
that there is no question of foul DTay
in the death of the Chinaman, finding
that the old man had simply given out
on one of his tramps and died. The
Deputy. at the request of the son, viii
see that the bones are sent to China
for burial.
