| days been before Judge Lindsay, and
yesterday the woman was remanded

to the ruling of the court, and gave
notice to the effect that he would with
out delay take the matter before the
Supreme Court.

to have the case of the other woman,
similar to that of Kamakahia, go over

On Monday evening the High Sheriff
sent men to the place described by his
informant. A dog barked and the
officers hid.
Suddenly man, who looked like the
escape, doomed at the door of the house
which had been surrounded. A glimpse
of his face could be had in the faint
dawn. He began firing at the officers
Several shots were exchanged, and
then the man made his way to the
road, calling out in Hawaiian. The
officers were convinced that he was not
the man they wanted and withdrew.
The man had been instructed, he said
later, to shoot at any intruders who
might present themselves around the
house in the night He had, naturally
enough, not knowing who they were,
mistaken the officers for robbers.
The High Sheriff's men are still in
vestigating the story of Lopez being
