K|KILb MIXED On
THE AUTO NUMBERS

George Kikila, a well-known young
man of the PaIama section, came to
the police station yesterday with a
bandaged foot and swore out q war
rant for the arrest of the owner OF
auto number 40. In swearing out the
complaint, which was in the form of
a penal summons, Kikila said ne was
bowled over suddenly and that the
car sped away before he had time
to . catch the number. All he could
see was 49, But when the officer went
10 serve the warrant it was found
that a mistake had been made. Some
of Kfkila's friends said it was number
$40. This machine belongs to an army
officer.
The driver of auto 40 stated last
evening that the irresponsible swear
ing out of a warrant for the arrest OF
a man through a guess as TO identity,
deserves a criticism. AS for himself
he states that he was in another part

decided that it were best for all con-
cerned that the fifty should be gotten
rid of without delay.
Sheriff Jarrett, who returned yester
day morning from KahulSu, has warned
Maxine to keep away from Kahuku
Maxine, on the other hand, bristled ur
