More than that, however, the Territory
claims damages in the sum of $500
from the defendant company for the
use it has already had of the captured
road.
Once upon time, some years ago,
when Charlie Chillingworth was Deputy
High Sheriff and Lorrin Andrews was
Attorney General, the two descended
upon Maui, Chillingworth armed with
a brace of enormous revolvers, each
big enough to kill a mastodon, and An
drews with an axe and spade, and
while Chillingworth held the fort with
his artillery, Andrews proceeded to de-
molish dam which the government
claimed had been illegally erected to
cut off the supply of water from La
hainaluna. Possibly the remembrance
of that occurrence may make the de-
PENDANTS in the present suit throw up
their hands and quit early in the game.

Dean Ramsay has story of that
border hostility between English and
Scots which used to go to halter
lengths. A Scottish drover was re-
turning from the south in particularly
bad humor with the English. having
done poor business, when he saw in
Carlisle a notice offering reward of
800 to any one who would volunteer
for the unpopular task of hanging a
condemned criminal. Seeing his chance
to make up for his bad market, and
comforting himself with the thought
that he was unknown there, he did the
job and got his fee. As he was leav-
ing he was tainted as beggarly Scot,
doing for money what no Englishman
would. But he answered with a cheer
full grin: "I'Il hang We a at the

Glacier Point, five Berkeley school boys
today, at the risk Of their lives, discov.
cred the body of young Horace R.
Logan, the st. Matthews College stu.
dent, who has been missing for the last
week.
The quintet that took the extreme
hazard to solve the mystery of the dis
appearance of young Logan were
Adolph Sehnack, Frank Warren, Ray
Hyne, Carl Burke, Alvery Littel and
Jack Spivey.
Logan IS body was far below the dan

wnere the rill of water leaves the ledge
and slides out over the slippery granite
in series of staircase falls.
Keep Doggedly at Hunt.
Although Major w. w. Forsythe, act
ing superintendent of Yosemite Ma.
tional Park, felt that to hunt for Logan
over the sheer granite precipice below
Glacier Point was an undertaking too
perilous for his cavalrymen, even
though they volunteered for the task,
the five lads entertained no such fears.
Ever since the military authorities
abandoned the search they have kept
doggedly at the hunt.
They explored a ledge 400 feet below
the point where Logan IS hat was dis
covered, and later they went still lower,
letting themselves down by long ropes
and creeping over the cliff in places
where it seemed impossible for human
being to obtain and keep foothold.
In neither of the two main lodges
was any further trace of the lost lad
found, and they were beginning to feel
discouraged, when they decided to make
final search in the lowest ledge of all
Using their ropes, they let themselves
down the wall of cliff fully 1000 feet

tween two boulders, they found the
mangled body of the young student.
Every Bone Broken.
Every bone had been broken in the
fall over the precipice and the rocks
had torn the clothing from the body
until it hung in long ribbons from the
corpse. Death was evidently instan-
taneous, and the tumbling, bounding
body had been rnangled to pulp.
The five boys wrapped the body in
sheet and canvas and hoisted it by slow
degrees to the ledgetrain, taking their
lives in their hands every moment of
the arduous and dangerous trip. The
