THE WILD CHlNAMAN
DEAD IN HIS HERMITAGE

HILO, March 10.-Vun All Chow, the
famous wild Chinaman" of Papaikou-
mauka, is dead.
The announcement comes a trifie
late. fnasmuch as he has been dead
for possibly three months or more, but
il was last week, when some natives
had the temerity TO approach his
haunt, that Vun All Chow made the
announcement OF his demise, very
plainly, himself.
Captain Fetter went up to investi-
gate and found the remains in a coffin
shaped box in which. the hermit used
TO sleep The body was in a terrible
state OF decomposition. There were no
signs of foul play. II appeared from
portions OF food left that the China
man had Just laid down after a meal
and had then died. Nothing could be
done in the way Of removing the
corpse, so the shack was set on fire
after a quantity OF firewOod had been
piled about the self-made coffin. This
action was rendered doubly necessary
from the fact that Vun was a leper
suspect.
The old Chinese hermit lived for
thirty years in his shack away up on
the mountain side. He was originally
