man and could talk broken Hawaiian
English to perfection. He was beset
by number of boys who pretended 10
make away with his fowls and eggs.

emit business men but were not award
ed, the judges finding it hard to choose
from the remaining field. They an
nounced that the goods would be sold
and the proceeds distributed among all
who had not received prizes. As some

| is raised as to how the district magls-
| trate. the county attorney and the
county auditor can sell them without
license-those offices being held respec-
lively by the judges.
