Fish browns Boy.

The following remarkable story
comes from Marked Tree;
Sam Williams, 16 years Of age,
living near Marked Tree, was
drowned Wednesday in Old riv-
or, a catfish weighing 80 pounds,
which he had hooked on a line,
pulling him in and holding him
under the water. Williams was
fishing from a skiff and after
casting his line fastened 1t to the
wrist OF his right hand, He had
been fishing but a few minutes
when the big catfish was hooked,
and in running away with the
line pulled Williams out OF the
skiff. The fish made a dash for
the bottom of the river, pulling
the boy after him. The body was
recovered on the following day,
one end Of the line being fasten-
ed to his wrist, while the So
pound catfish was still q captive
on the other end.

ITO The CLUB

The yacht Hawaii will go to the
Hawaii Yacht Club, a majority of the
donors agreeing to transfer and the
members approving such action.
Such was the most important piece
of business transacted at the annual
meeting of the club held last night
1t was unanimously resolved to take
over the yacht and assume the in
debtedness of $4,000 as well as the
amount already paid out, by the com
mittee in charge, for maintenance of
the yacht since the race.
Thirty-five of those who consented
to turn over their interest to the club
agree to become members Of the club,
which will bring the active member
ship up to over a hundred
The new members will turn in their
certificates of donation which will be
accepted by the club in lieu of an mi
tiation fee.
The charter of the club will be
changed so that those who subscribed
toward the yacht fund can turn their
certificates in and receive shares Of
stock in return, thus becoming regu-
lar members OIL the club.

PUGILISTS ARE
WORKING HARD

Everything appears to be lovely in !
fistic circles.
Joe Cohen is smiling the smile that
won't come off, because Of the salts
factory emptiness of the advanced
sale ticket box.
Reilly is favorite over Smith; OF
that there is no doubt. Nevertheless
there are folks going round with money
to bet that Frankie put it over his OPP
ponent.
That's how it should be and how it,
always has been for that matter. There
never was fight where someone didn't
back the loser and there never was a
battle which was won by more than
one man. Therefore, as Caesar re-
marked to Euclid, @. E. D., which be-
ing interpreted meaneth "a quick end
ing is hereby denoted"
Reilly held quite levee at the Or
pheum yesterday afternoon. lie
worked with George Peterson and
'Punchbowl" Silva, also with one Ed
ward Hines. Said work was of a
large and lively nature
Reilly showed up in good shape and
amply confirmed all the good things
that have been said of him He was
there with the lightning jab, the clever
duck and the speedy getaway. If any
thing he has improved since last seen
in action here.
Hines showed himself to be rangy,
green boy, but at that he should keep
the Bouquet Kid busy. Anything that
comes out of Frisco in the fistic line
is worth watching
Peterson is rapidly getting acclimat-
ed. His style and action impress one
more and more and he and Dick Sulli-
van should put up an argument that
will be a hummer
Joe Silva is working like a Trojan
and if he loses to Soldier Miller Punch
bowl will go broke. He is as willing
as ever and if he makes as good a.
showing in the ring as he does at prac-
tice his number stands a very good
chance of going up. Indeed it would
not be surprising were every pug in the
Orpheum stable TO be returned a VIM
ner on Saturday.
Away down at Fort Shafter Frak1e
Smith and Soldier Miller are doing
stunts The former looks a different
man from when he boxed Trinkle and
Miller appears to- be coming on hand
over fist. He showed his friends
whole lot before he stacked up against
Sullivan and his easy defeat may we'll
have been due to an attack of stage
fright, an awfully inconvenient indis-
position for boxer to have, by the
way.

MAYOR IS
STUBBORN

City and County Supervisors got to-
gether last evening, the Mayor pre-
siding and Cox being the only absen-
tee. The meeting covered little more
than an hour and while there was no
thing of great Importance to be done,
there was much of an interesting rou-
tine nature to be accomplished.
AT the end of the meeting there
was a motion to adjourn until Mon
day next, but, it was remembered that
next Monday falls in next month and
it is necessary that meeting be held
before then, so o'clock tomorrow af-
ternoon was the time set and, Incl
dentally, the Supervisors will arrange
for drawing their own salaries.
City and County Attorney Cathcart
sent in a communication noting his
appointment of w. H. Crawford as
messenger in his office at SIS, the Su-
pervisors endorsing the salary.
Committees presented payroll and
salary demands totalling $S,119.07
The mayor refused to put the motion
that the committee reports be adopted
and he was reminded by members of
the Board that this action, or refusal
to act, was blocking business. The
Mayor stated that he knew nothing
of the procedure prior to the presen-
tation of the reports and he was told
by Aylett that he had neglected op-
portunities to confer with committees.
/ The payroll and salary demands were
passed over the Mayor as usual
There was a communication from
the Public Works to the effect that
permission had been given the Rapid
Transit to connect lines with the mill
tary railroad on Saratoga avenue on
condition that the road be fixed and
the track laid in a way to satisfy the
road supervisor. Quinn objected to
this manner of reference to the road
supervisor and desired that instead of
road supervisor the communication
road committee on roads," etc. He
had noticed letters on file from the
Honolulu Gas Co, to the enect that
the company would put the streets in
the condition they found them when
laying pipes. Quinn said this was a
promise that was never fulfilled, but
as long as he has anything to say in
road committee he will see that the
work is properly done and that the
roads do not suffer for being torn up.
The letter was referred to the roads
committee.
The Board OVERRIDE the veto of the
Mayor in the matter of the resolution
appropriating for police court inter-
prefers
The Clerk reminded the Board that
insurance on the furniture of the City
and County Offices expires tomorrow
This will be attended today by the
finance committee.

MAULELE DOES
GREAT ROP|NG

Wild West enthusiasts are talking
of the performance of one of Charlie
Rice's cowboys named Maulele, who
in a roping contest held at Kappa on
New Years day busted his steer in
seventeen seconds and was over him
and ready to tie in twenty-four sec
onds. He lost his tie rope, however,
and thus missed chance to make a
Hawaiian record.
He has tied in eight seconds on sew
eral other occasions. Had he done so
on the day in question his time would
have been thirty-two seconds.
The Hawaiian record is thirty-sev-
en- seconds, held by Angus McPhee.

1t is stated that Promoter Cohen
has arranged with Ryan to referee all
bouts pulled off in the Orpheum.
