Of {. AFONG
A CLAIM FOR $4,000 FOR FEES
AND INTEREST ON SAME is
FILED.

Another attack on the Along for
tune has been begun. f. B. McStocker
has filed a suit in assumpsit to try
and land large sum, much of which
consists of interest
The suit is brought against the

tion property of Along. 1t was agreed
that McStocker was to receive for this
deal the sum of $32,5OO. This indebt-
edness was alleged to have been in
Cured September 80, 1889.
Although the late Along was re-
quested to dig, he failed to do so, so

nently in 1890 He died last year. On
May 2S, 1907, the plaintiff presented to
the administrators of the estate his

BLOCKED THE
WIRELESS
SHERMAN TELEGRAHED MARE
ISLAND 900 MILES AWAY BUT
ONLY GOT HONOLULU TODAY.

From one thousand miles at sea the
United States Army transport Sher-
man, Captain Bruguierre, tried to con
meet with Honolulu by wireless, buC
failed. .
The Sherman, with her new $4,000
wireless telegraph plant, communicat-
ed with Mare Island at distance Of
900 miles. After ceasing to talk with
Mare Island the Sherman almost imme-
diately tried to pick up the Naval
wireless station here.
At $3.50 o'clock this morning, after
the vessel had been sighted the operat-
or aboard the Sherman sent a long
message to the Naval station.
Most of the communication was con-
versational. The operator aboard the
transport asked when the next mail
would leave for the coast from Homo
lulu and was informed that the China
would probably leave Monday This
news was posted at once aboard the
ship and some folks lost no time in
beginning to write letters.
Then the operator aboard stated that
the vessel would dock soon after 10
o'clock and went on to say that the
long passage was caused by trouble
with the condensers. He announced
the fact of having communicated with
Mare Island at distance Of from $50
to 900 miles and incidentally, reported
all we'll aboard.
Though an operator has been on
watch day and night at the Naval Sta
tion, the $3.50 o'clock message today
was the first word received from the
transport. 1t is thought that the
mountain range interferes with com
munication.
At 1O:3O o'clock the Sherman dOckeC

the Congressional party were at the

CANNERY RUSHED.

The Hawaiian Pineapple Companys

been running full handed for the past
week and for the past several days
on an average of seven carloads of
luscious fruit have been put in cans
daily, between $4,000 and 10000 cans
per day. Next week it is expected that
it will be necessary to put on a night
crew in order to handle the big rusn
of pines which will come about that
time, it being the height of the season
At the present time the factory Is
employing between two and three hun

1t is alleged that two negroes TAX
en- aboard at st. Thomas have been
put in irons at every port. They were
in irons here as was also a trachoma
suspect. The master of the ship and
his officers are in the habit of packing
guns, the sailors say, being afraid OF

The best evidence that X. Yama-

fact that the last two steamers from

rice than for any two importers. He

ADVISED
OUR SAM
RUSSIAN WHO HAD EXPERIENCE
IN WAR GIVES COL. JOHNSON A
POINTER.

Colonel Samuel Johnson is making
very rapid progress improving his regl-
ment. Special efforts is being made
to give the men practice in rifle shoot
ing at the longer distances.
Col. Johnson obtained some very
valuable pointers from the Russian
military attache who stopped over here
recently while en- route to the Orient
That attache, Colonel Seminow asked
Col. Johnson if he had any men who
could shoot to kill at 500 yards range.
That was, the Russian colonel said, the
trouble with the Russian army in the
late war. Few of the men could kill
or hit their men at any distance over
200 yards. The result was that the
Japanese would swarm forward in their
attacks in such numbers that the men
could not fire fast enough after the
Japanese reached the 200 yard zone to
cut the attacking forces down. In
consequence, the Japanese would gen
orally dislodge the Russians from their
positions.
Teach your men, Colonel" was the
parting advice of the Russian to the
Hawaiian colonel, 'to kill at 500 yards
Had we had had such men, there would
probably have been a different story to
tell" :"
Colonel Johnson is putting his usual
energy and work into the instruction
of his regiment. He feels confident
that he will soon have very large
proportion of sharpshooters in his or
ganization.

and wolves and was accustomed to
all kinds OF hardships.
The captain informed him that he
had a very important and dangerous
duty TO perform, and wanted 10 know
v he had the courage TO undertake a
task of that kind. Young Hegwer said
that IF Il was in the line Of duty as
soldier, that when he enlisted he did
not expect to shirk any of the duties
that were required OF him, and that he
was ready TO undertake anything that
was possible.
The next morning young Hegwer
was seen crossing the Missouri river
on ferTyboat, making his way in
northeasterly direction. so that he
would arrive from the north when he
got to the plantation; that there
would be no suspicion that he had
been sent from Atchison. His dis
guise was perfect. No one would sus.
pect him as being a soldier. 1t was
almost dark and raining when he ar
rived at the old plantation. When he
got 10 the gate he was met by an old
gray-haired man about 20 years old,
very pleasant and polite. Young Heg.
wer babe him the time of day, and in
Quired If IL would be possible for him
TO stay all night. that he was very
tired, wet and hungry, and that he
had come a long way that day and
was not able 10 go much farther
Young Hegwer stated that his folks
lived In Doniphan county, Kan. imme,
diately west OF ST. Joseph, Mo-; that
his Oldest brother was with the rebel
Gen. Price. somewhere in southern
Missouri; that his father was dead
and his mother was rather cross to
him, and that he had run away from
home. That pleased the old gentleman
very much, and he took a very hearty
laugh over IL. He took him in the
house. gave him something 10 eat.
That night about ten O'Clock came a
couple of men with a mule team. Heg-
wsr went out and helped them to put
up the team. There were some empty
boxes and cans in the wagon that in
dicated milk. bread and food had been
IN them. The leader OF the two asked
the old gentleman. Who's that STRIP
Of boy you got tbere?"
He answered. and told him the
story that young Hegwer had given
him.
The next morning when Hegwer got
up he found no one on the plantation

Next morninS young Hegwer was
sent out TO finish the blowing that he
had begun-the other end of the field
was near the road that went to Atchi-
son. There he wrote the letter to his
brother and handed II TO one OF the
drivers OF a team that was going down
town, TO be mailed. That night every
thing went as heretofore. and all prem
arations were being made for the
start FOR the south. The next night.
nearly midnight, a troop OF cavalry
was heard coming up 10 the planta-
ton. IL surrounded the house. and
the inmates were all taken prisoners.
Young Hegwer escaped through the
back door and hid out until the rest
had been loaded into a government
ambulance and started for Atchison.

been kept The cabin was surrounded
by the soldiers; the guards showed
tight at the beginning. but soon saw
that they were overpowered and sur
rendered. The negroes were liner

oners. BY this time day began to
break. and the whole procession began

they arrived at the headquarters. the
prisoners were all taken TO Leaven-
