who locked him up in the Koolaupoko
Jail. Medical assistance was also got
for the wounded man, DR.. Wood being
called to attend to him.
The assault took place about mid
night on Friday, but the first report
of the matter came to Sheriff Jarratt
Yesterday morning, due principally to
the fact, that there is no longer any
telephone service except by private
wire from Kahuku to Honolulu. Sher-
if Jarrett, accompanied by Deputy
High Sheriff Chester Doyle, went over
to Punaiuu yesterday, returning last
night with prisoner, complaining wit
ness and three spectators of the fight.
The prisoner will be held for the grand
jury.
Kahuku Japanese Are Happy.
About four hundred strikers from the
Kahuku plantation are camped around
Kahana, on the windward side. They
have plenty Of provisions and appar-
emily an unlimited supply of sake,
many of them yesterday showing the
effects of too much of that delectable
beverage. They appear to be happy and
quite contented that their voluntary
holiday is lasting. They are kept in
touch with the situation in Honolulu
and profess to be satisfied with the
way things are going.
Waipahu Records Break.
Yesterday there was slump in the
ranks of the Waipahu strikers, thirty
men and one woman reporting for work
from among those who struck. These
went out with the strikebreakers. On
the other plantations things are un-
changed At Aiea, the strikers have
returned to the number of fifty. Eva
is working full force. Waialua is pro-
crossing as before the strike, while Ka
huku is depending altogether on strike
breakers.
Quiet at Headquarters.
Things went on as usual around the
strikers headquarters and open air
dining room yesterday. The helpers
about their work cheerfully and the
supply of kaukau appears to be suffi-
cient for the day. Ono pilikia' was
the answer given an Advertiser repre-
sentative, when questioned about the
food supply and the prospects for sue
cess.
The Honolulu strikers appeared to
have no knowledge of the Punaluu as
sault and evinced a great interest in
the details the Advertiser reporter was
able to give them.
When questioned concerning the feel
ing of the strikers over the rearrest of
Maxine and the others, they looked
grave, stating that the action of the
authorities was ono guru." One of
the number exhibited the photograph
of Maxine and his crowd in the patrol
wagon on the way to the reef, looking
at this evidence of martyrdom" tery
proudly He refused to let the photo
graph leave his possession, however.

The five men appeared before Judge
De Bolt at l clock in the afternoon,
but were allowed their liberty upon
their own recognizance until this morn
ing at 9 clock, the continuance being
granted upon the representations of At
torHey Lightfoot, who asked for time
in which to examine the complaint and
be prepared to give more lengthy rea-
sons as to why the request of the pros
ecution for an immediate trial should
not be granted.
Attorneys Kinney and Prosser were
in court for the prosecution and they
both insisted that Attorney Lightfoot
had declared that all his clients de-
sired was an opportunity to secure a
vindication before the people of the
Territory and that they desired it just
as soon as possible.
GIVE are ready to proceed with the
trial of these men at the strike of the
clock said Mr.. Kinney, "before any
judge on the bench. -
Lightfoot said that only bare I'M
derstanding of the general tenor of the
complaint had "filtered through my
poor BRAIN and said that continu-
ance was essential to allow him to
secure an intelligent comprehension of
the charges it contained.
Judge De Bolt seemed to think that
postponement until Monday next
would be fair to all concerned, but the
attorneys for the prosecution objected
A compromise was finally reached with
a continuance until clock this morn
ing at which time it is expected the
date for the arraignment and plea OF
the FIVE men on the new conspiracy
charge will be fixed.
