Wilt Meet Young Loughrcy in Six
 Round Bout at Philadelphia.

Terry McGovern has been matched by his manager, Joe Humphreys, to en- gage Young Loughrey in the regua- ton six-round bout before the Nation al 4. C. of Philadelphia tonight. Since his match with Johnny Summers was cancelled Terry has been training with Young Corbett, IL will seem somewhat strange to Philadelphlans to see Young Corbett in McGovern's corner The Westerner has been chosen by Terry to be his chief second in his fight with Loughrey.
 Loughrey is pretty tough proposI- ton with the gloves and is recognized as q scrapper of class He is certainly a good man to meet McGovern at pres ent, and the bout will afford the fol- lowers of Terry an opportunity to get line on the little "Terror's" ability

A HARD
SUBPOENA
DEPUTY SHERIFF SEA GETS SOME
ADVICE ABOUT SERVING A DE-
CEASED WITNESS.

There was trouUz IN the office of
High Sheriff Henry this morning as
the result of a subpoena issued in the
case of j. p. Mendonca VS.. George
Markham. Deputy Sheriff George Sea
was the man in difficulty. He had been
ordered by the court to subpoena one
S. X. Kepohoni and after long and
diligent search found that he departed
this life some two years ago. Then
George could not make up his mind
just what return should be made. A
kind friend suggested that he should
state to the court that he had locat-
ed the desired witness in one Of two
places but that he could not get into
the first to serve the warrant and
that if he went into the second, they
would never let him out.
The Sheriff offered to furnish an
asbestos suit, if George cared to make
the trip after Kepohoni, but the lat
ter baked on the proposition. He said
that he would like to go for the trip
but that with Chester Doyle away ar
ter Roger Abe in Japan and he on a
still longer trip, there would be diff
hculties in Honolulu which would be

NO CAMP
THIS YEAR
NATIONAL GUARD WILL WAIT
TILL THE FEDERAL TROOPS
ARE READY.

The local National Guard companies
will not go into camp this year ac-
cording to a decision which has re-
Gently been arrived at by those in COM
mand. The plan was to nave the First
Regiment go INTO camp at Leiiehua
during the present month with the pat
TALON of the Twentieth Infantry which
is located at Fort Shafter.
Orders have been received by the
commanding officer at Fort Shafter
that the camp shall not take place
this month but shall be postponed till
February, and as the result the Ma
tional Guard will also postpone its
week in the field till next year. The
change was probably made as the re-
suit of suggestions made by Major
Dunning to the commanding officer OF
the department. The spring will be an
almost ideal time for camp, but dur
| ing the present month, almost con-
slant rains may be expected at the
| Wahiawa camp, which would not only
make tnlnSS very uncOmlOrIdDle lOI
the soldiers but would also keep them
from doing work which could be done
without trouble under better wealth
err conditions.
The officers of the National Guard
OF Hawaii are very DESTROYS of going
into camp at the same time as the
regulars for they know of the great
benefits which they and their men
can gain from the contact with the
men of the Twentieth The local men
may be able to drill well, or able to
stand a hard march, but when it comes
to taking care of themselves when in
the field and the many little details of
camp life, it is another matter alto
gether.
| Still another reason that the Ma
tional Guard men wish to be in camp
with the regulars is that the oppos~
tunity may be used for the annual
inspection which - made by a regu-

NOT LONG
HOLES IN THE GROUND,-NOT
FOXES, WERE DUG AND DELtv-
Erred, SAYS COMPLAINT.

According to a paper which was fill
ed in the Circuit Court this morning
there is a business in holes going on
in this island. Fox's holes naturally
were thought Of, but it does not APP
pear to be the same case but is differ
ent according to a sworn statement
prepared by an attorney and signed
and sworn to by the plaintiff. 1t might
be thought that Carlos Long was the
attorney but strange to say he was
not. One of the interesting features
is that it is stated and sworn to that
the defendant did let. lease, bargain
and sell and also deliver the holes to
certain people The method of de-
livery, whether by dray, wrapped care
fully. in oil cloth or not, is left indef-
mite. The following paragraph from
the complaint of Rebecca Baker VS..
Aniani Kaalahua, both of Eva, Attor-
ney Wade Warren Thayer for the
plaintiff, is of interest:
mat thereafter, TO VIII on the uay
and year aforesaid and upon other div
ers days between said date and the
date hereof defendant did dig and ex-
cavate and cause to be dug and exca-
waited, certain large and unsightly
holes upon the property aforesaid, and
did let, lease, bargain, sell, transfer
and deliver said holes to divers per-
sons, whose names are to the plaintiff
unknown, for use as graves, and did
permit said persons to enter upon the
premises of the plaintiff and bury the
bodies of certain deceased persons up
on said premises; and did there seri-
ously injure, cucumber and disfgure
the said premises of plaintiff, and de-
prive her of her free use and occupa-
ton thereof"

was to have was that on which her
house stood and that she believed that
the written agreement, written in the
English language which she could not
read, so provided, her attorney, as he
says, merely telling her that it was
'all right" and leaving the plaintiffs
attorney to explain it; also that the
effect of the written agreement was to
place the defendant at great disadvan-
tage in the division far from being
compensated by the plaintiffs agree
ment to pay costs (about 500 in their
partition case, which they discon-
tinued, the surveyors fee CS2S. 500
their own attorneys fee, which the de-
fendana was in no way responsible for
and $50 for the defendants attorney.
The result of a partition suit would
have been far better for the defendant
as the judge might of his own mo-
ton have directed a surveyor to set
apart for her in one lot an equal por-
ton on which her house should stand,
and an equal portion on the other lot.
The expense of this would have been
inconsiderable. The plaintiffs offer to
allow the defendant to remove her
house. which by the written agreement
would be left partly on the division

Equity will not compel a defendant
to perform a contract which was made
by mistake of its contents, or which
he did not intend to make or which
he would not have entered into had It's
true effect been understood" and this
whether the mistake was "either inten-
tionally or not induced or made prob
able or even possible, by the acts or
omissions of the plaintiff" "A mis-
take which is entirely the defendants
