San Francisco.-People who have

Chinaman Of the Papaikoumanka" is
dead. Like many worthy folk, All
Chow did not have his name printed
much in the newspapers until after he
died, but that was the fault Of the
papers and not of All Chow.
They say down In Hilo that All Chow
came to the islands 80 years ago as a
contract laborer on sugar plantation.
He evidently did not like being con-
tract laborer for he fed from the plan
tation soon after his arrival and
worked his way up to the almost mac
cessible mountain crag Of Papaikou'
manka to a little plateau hanging diz-
zily over cliffs edge. When some of

All Chow put up such fight by roll
ing powders down on the only trail
to his retreat that the attempt to bring
him back was given up.
Eighteen years ago the report spread
about the country thereabouts that the
lonely Chinaman was a leper and a
posse was sent up the mountain to
bring him back into town for transpor-
tation to Molokai, the Hawaiian leper
colony. All Chow fought the posse
with powders until they gained foot
hold in his narrow shelf of the noun
tain, and then charged the timorous
kanakas with spear fashioned of
hard wood and with the point har-
dened in the fire.
He was captured finally and exam
lned. 1t was found that the wild Chi
naman did not have !eprosy and hi,

From that day until the Chinaman's s

him. The tax assessor and tax collec-
tor gave him wide berth; the man
who owned the land which he had pre-
empted made no attempt to eject him.
He never came down off the mountain
and neither white man nor Kanaka
cared to 60 up to see him.
His body was stumbled on by a
stranger who had gone up the noun
tain without knowing that danger was
popularity supposed to wait at the top
for all intruders. When this stranger
reported his find several men from the
nearest plantation went up to the wild
Chinaman's hut.
The body could not be removed, 80 a
pile of wood was heaped about it and
1t was burned where it lay, with the
hut which had for 80 years been the
lonely hermitage of All Chow. The
strange man must have known the an.
proach of death and deliberately laid
himself down in his coffin to die alone.
The investigators looked about and
discovered how it was that the wild
man had lived high up the mountain.
alone with birds. BY what must have
been tremendous and long continued
effort All Chow had cleared about two
acres of the tropical jungles back of
his hut on the mountain shelf and had
there planted plineapples, peanuts.
mangoes and potatoes.
He had even set out a few orange
and lemon trees, probably from cut
tings stolen at nights from the planta.

had kept no animals; all the bitter
work of grubbing the jungle from his
place he had done with his own hands.

not lacked for flesh, as bird snares

He had even fashioned out of bamboo

of the civilization that spread out
