The examining trial of Damian

charged with having accidentally shot
Refugio Lisardo in a restaurant at
San Benito last Monday, from which
the latter died in this city the follow
ing morning was held this morning
before Justice of the Peace GaVito.
Several witnesses who were in the
restaurant at the time of the shooting
were examined. All testified to the
fact that the deceased and Leal were
sitting at table together facing each
other and that they were laughing
and joking, when Leal, who is en-
poyed in the restaurant. left the table
and started for the kitchen still jok-
which is a 44-ealibre Marlin, stand
ing in the corner, it is alleged that
he picked it up, working the lever,
when the gun was discharged The
testimony further showed that it was
several seconds after the shot was
fred before anyone knew that Lisar-
do was shot when he (Lisardo) sud
denly clasping his hand over his
stomach, exclaimed to Leal: you
have hurt me-" Leal, 1t is claimed,
at once ran to his side and endeav-
.ored to aid the wounded man.
1t was further declared by all of
the witnesses that the defendant did
not point the gun at the deceased, nor
did he even pull the trigger, but that
the gun was accidentally discharged
when the lever was worked.
The charge first made against Leal
was for murder, but it has been
changed to accidental homicide, he
being placed under a bond of 500

which he Immediately gave.
The inquest held by Justice of the

the effect that Lisardo was killed
by a gunshot wound inflicted by Do

the shooting was intentional or ac-
cidental

Doubts OF Jack
Starting In
Marathon

AS some doubt Is expressed as to
the rules applying to Marathon run
ners being rubbed down. etc, dur
ing the course of race. a cable has
been sent to the mainland asking
that copy OF the rules governing
such contests be forwarded at once
to this city. From the press accounts
Of indoor or track Marathons, 1t ap-
pears that no outside assistance, ex-
cepting refreshment, is allowed.
Cross-country Marathons are in a
different class. however, and there is
not much doubt. that massaging and
such like stunts are carried on.
With reference to the Marathon to
be run on April IS, all the men are
In active training, and quite num-
Der of them seem to have good
chance OF winning. The veteran
Paddy Walsh, is anxiously awaiting
the arrival OF his elastic bandage
from the Coast, and II Il comes In
time, p. w. will start In the contest
and then the public will see the race
OF its life.
Nigel Jackson, on being interview
ed yesterday afternoon, stated that
he had doubts about starting in the
big race. Il took spin over twenty
miles this morning" he remarked,
"and made good time. Still, | find
that training is going to interfere
with my work, and It may be that
will not start in the Marathon"
This is bad news for the sports
who are all looking forward to see

track. or course Nigel may find
time to train, but II is hard prop.
osition for a man to work all day
and then train at night. Well, lei
us all hope for the best, and trust
that the first Marathon winner will
be starter in the second race.
Scharsch is going to run great
race on April is, and the man who
beats him will about win. His run
in the Haleiwa event was a corker
and only for getting cramped whilst
resting. he would have been close vi
to the winner.

The Mid-Pacifics put 1t over the

crowd attended the game and excite
ment ran high at times, especially

good ball for the winners, striking
out no less than nine men. Smith.
Kamaka, and Chas. .Mokeau made
home runs for the Mids.
There are three teams In the La
hainaluna League, and the Mid-Pa-
cities are leading with a percentage
of $50: East Maui comes second
with 1898; and the David Malos. who
have not yet won game are in the
zero class. The Mids have won three
out OF four games; the Easts one out
of three, and the Davids have lost
all three games. Great interest is
taken in baseball around Lahaina,

Wonderful

The Boys Field was again crowd
ed yesterday afternoon. and great
many more haoles attended the fss-
tivities than on the first day. All
the side-shows were in evidence and
were Just as well patronized as be-
fore. The swordsmen gave some line
exhibitions, and most of their bou;s
were very much in earnest. The
champion was again on deck, and
his easy manipulation Of the two
handed sword was remarkable. At
times he would have his opponent
guessing as to where the next blow
would land.
= The charming geisha girls were as
good as ever and their dancing and
poses we're the delight OF the large
audience, which applauded the turns
with great fervor. The juggler did
some wonderful work with bow
and arrows. His accuracy Is remark
able, and he seems to be able to hit
his mark at any angle and from any
position. His target consisted OF an
other arrow held upright by an as
sistant; the archer knocked the tar

the assistant wobbled the thin OBJ
