Go on T0ur-VariOuS
News Notes.

LIHUE, March 14.-The court dis
missed the jury for the term last We'd
nesday on account of lack of male
factors. Kauai might be tempted to
use the Pharisaic expression soon.
Manuel Santos was tried for larceny
of money from a japanese woman at
Laval while buying bananas and onions
from her. A failure to have him identi-
fed and evidence that he was in Ko-
| loa at the time of the theft caused
the jury to acquit him. Another case
| of larceny, alleged to have been COM
mitted near the same place as the first
one, was dismissed as two Japanese
children of seven and five years old re-
spectively We're the only witnesses
against him.
| Henry Naumu, who had shot a friend
while fooling with a gun, pleaded gull
ty to a charge of assault and battery
and was given fine of fifty dollars
and a strong lecture.
Manuel Lukini, charged with breach
of the moral statutes, pleaded guilty and
got six months for it.

very good music, delicious refreshments

departure will take place tonight, Mrs.
W. H. Rice Sr. having invited a few
friends to meet her at poi supper.

who get the six highest scores tonight.

WAIMEA NOTES.
| The district has been blessed with
| copious downpour this week and every
thing is lovely, though the road between
| this place and Makaweli has been a
| qualifying exception.
Harry Bruins of the Marshal's office
is in town again, this time hunting up
more witnesses in the Korean counter
| feiting case.
Waimea expects to be able to wei
come the steamer Kinau next week and
committee of representative citizens
has been selected to make the neces-
sary arrangements .for the proper cere-
| monies on the occasion.
j. J. Hjorth, who for some three
years has held the position of book
keeper in Lihue store, has been ap-
pointed to the vacancy at Kekaha store
| created by the sudden departure of the
former storekeeper there.
The cheerful sound of the county IS
rock crusher is heard in Kekupua and
| the work of extending the macadamiz-
ed roads of the district is being push
ed along. 1t was at first feared that
it would prove hard to find the neces-
sary number of citizen laborers, but
the reverse has turned out to be the
case, more men applying for work than
there can be used.
