EDMuNDs ACT COMPLICATION

William Kaanaana seems to have
given himself Jail sentence. Yester-
day he came to United States District
Attorney Breckons to tell him about
Sarah Manu-. He said he had lived
with Sarah for the past six years,
though not married to her, until about
three weeks ago she left him to go to
live with Keoholau. But firing of him
she had insisted on coming back to VIII
liam. This William would not have,
and to save himself he reported the
matter to Breekons.
Warrants were at once sworn out
for all three and they were brought
before Commissioner Judd. Their eases
were continued, and the bail of the
men fixed at $500 each. The woman
was allowed to go on her own recog-
nizance, as she has two children and
the probability of her leaving the jur,
isdiction of the court is extremely
slight.
