and there was a free for-al fight. The

There was verdi-gr on the rail and the

it was all right. He received an af-

captain went below. He saw the same

rolling a cigarette and preparing to
light up The Hawaiian desisted and

ACCIDENTAL SHOT
IS CAUSE Of DEATH
Parker Ranch Manager Killed by
Bullet From His Own
Revolver.

The Hilo Tribune gives the follow
ing account of the killing of Wilmott
l.. Vredenburg, manager of the Waiki
section of the Parker Ranch, on Ha-
waii last Sunday morning:
Vredenburg went out hunting last
Sunday morning, being accompanied by
his son. Both rode horseback. Vre-
denburg shot a pig, and, placing his
revolver in his pocket, he descended
from his horse in order to despatch
the wounded animal. The revolver
fell from his pocket. 1t was discharged
in striking the ground, and the bullet
passed through the unfortunate man 5
heart.
He fell to the ground and, saying
to his son, i am make, / am make, he
expired on the spot. This happened
about three miles from Vredenburg 8
house.
Vredenburg had been in the Ha-
waiian Islands for many years. He
had an exceedingly large circle of
friends all over the group, as he was
an exceedingly pleasant and accom-
plished man. He was very practical,
and added to this an unusual musical
talent. one of his performances which
secured him local fame being his abil-
ity to play the eornet and accompany
himself at the piano.
'Vredenburg spent most of his life
in Hawaii in the South Kohala dis
trict He was nrsU Une principal of
the public school at Waimea. Later
on he went into the chicken business,
and when the Puako plantation was
started he became its manager. He
then started in the automobile trans
portatiOn business, with Waimea as his
headquarters, and finally accepted a
position as manager of the Walk see
tion of the Parker Ranch. When the
ranch began extensive farming in this
section, such as corn plalatiag and hay
raising. Nredenburg was 81 schdrge of
this work. =

A PREsENT-DAY CELEB

Claudius Mcbride, sometimes law

Governor Frear. or else claimant to the
Acting Acting Governor job, met
with another repulse last week in his
capacity as an attorney. Having been
chosen to defend Kato. a japanese
charged with assault with deadly
weapon, and becoming aware of the
fact that the knife with which the as
sault was made was in the hands of
the prosecution, he made a noble effort
to obtain possession of it, and failed
The prosecution did not care to let
the defense see it; in fact, didn t even
admit that it had it, but as Mcbride
was sure that it did he subpoenaed
almost the entire police staff, and then
some. Among these were Sheriff Jar

clerks.

caring to give the case away, went up
to court 10 fight the motion to have

that Mcbride thought favored him ana
which provided for the action which he
wished. but Milverton showed the court
that there was no precedent for its use

Now Mcbride needs that knife in
working up his defense. and he needs
it to win out, or that is the way it

PLAYED CAPTAIN
IN FINE STYLE
WouId-8e Skipper Anchors Craft
in Stormy Waters of
Wharf Slip.

There are many amusing stories told
along the waterfront of the doings of
Hawaiian sailors in the days when the
monarchy was in the height of it's
glory. They tell a story down on the
old Wilder docks of crowd of Hawai-
lam sailors who visited the dock one
night in an intoxicated condition. A
steamer was tied up at the wharf with
nobody aboard except Waterman; and
he was asleep. The sailors thought it
would be great fun to play captain
and crew. One mounted the bridge
while the others went into the wheel
house. One called himself first mate
and planted himself on the bow and
others took positions which suited them.
There were some who just played plain
sailor.
"Hey, first mate, how much water
are we drawing" shouted the "cap
tain.'
Eighteen feet and running up on a
reef was the answer of the "mate. -
Let go the port anchor, Them
shouted the "captain, " and the anchor
was tripped and all the chain ran out
and finally snapped and went to the
bottom of the slip.
''How S the water on the starboard
side?"
eighty fathoms."
''Let go the starboard anchor, :"
growled the ''captain,' and over went
the starboard anchor and the chain ran
to the end.
Finally one of the sailors known as
Centipede got into a row on the bridge

COMMERCIAL CLUB
IN NEW QUARTERS

This week the bag and baggage
Of the Commercial Club changed
headquarters and by this move they
step out into a broader plane than
ever before. The old quarters con-
sisted of but one room; the new
quarters in the Williams block con-
sist of nine rooms admirably adapt
ed to the needs Of the club and they
will be nicely furnished.
The two rooms on the southeast
are to be occupied by the Ladies'
Auxiliary and the Commercial Club
and will be elegantly furnished and
used as parlors for the visiting
ladies as we'll as ladies Of the city.
Adjoining these on the north and
facing Sixth street will be a reading
room where the latest newspapers
and magazines may be found. Next
comes the managers private office,
also fronting Sixth street. Here Is
where the plans will be developed
for bringing to the knowledge of
every man, woman and child in the
United States the wonderful resourc-
es of the Rogue River valley in and
about Grants Pass. There Is a vault
in connection with the room where
all valuable papers can be stored so
as not to be handled over by all
corners as heretofore.
At the head of the stairs is the
large assembly room for the public
meetings Of the club, and will also
be used, no doubt, for the Fruit
Growers Association, the Merchants
Protective Association, Automobile
Club, Poultry Keepers Association
and other organizations.
Adjoining the ladies' parlor on the
west is the room to be used by the
Sportsmen's Club, where trophies OF
the chase will adorn the walls, and
sDortsmen will be always welcome
Adjoialrg This IS ,2rse room adaNf'
ed to any kind OF amusement, and
whether 1t be fitted as a gymnasium,
billiard room or banquet hall has
not yet been decided. And last,
hut mt least there Is kitchen.
There are also several small rooms,
wood room, two toilets and wash
rooms, etc.
Plans are being arranged for a
housewarming soon, on which oc-
casion the rooms will be formally
opened and dedicated to the public
use.
