HOLD-UP MEN
ARE CONVICTED
Knocked Victim Down and Robbed
Him-Get Five Years to
Repent In.

For assaulting an old ChiHaman and
depriving him of 1886 Of his hard earn
ed cash, Andrew Kupiko and Edward
Mikalemi are To pay sufficient penalty.
They we're convicted Of the charge
against them by jury in De Bolt ;
court yesterday, Harry Kahiki CO.
defendant with them, being found not
guilty.
All made statements previously be
fore Willie Crawford, and they tally but
i'll. According to these and the testi-
mony on the stand, the three, in com
pany with Dave Cummings, George
Macy, Willie Hutchinson, and others,
they all being boilermakers, left Hale
iva and eventually came up to party
of gleeful youths who were organizing
race for a $40 purse. Kupiko and
Mikalemi joined and sprinted off, leav-
ing Kahiki alone. Later the latter
caught sight of his companions chasing
a couple of pakes carrying ducks for
the market. Soon the pakes turned and
the old man went after his pursuers
with a shillalah. Kahiki, according to
his own statement, went to separate the
eombatants in the tUssle that followed
and Mikalemi hit him in the head with
the Chinaman club.
Mikalemi says he hit somebody but
he doesn t know whether it was Kahiki
or the pake. Kahiki, however, is sure
of the fact that it was himself who was
the victim of the amateur Donnybrook
Fair. 1t seems evident also that Mika
lemi eventually laid the Chinaman out
and took his purse and Kupiko helped
him and demanded his share.
MikaleEli has a record as long as
fish story, full of petty larcenies and
gambling and this last affair rounds
them off nicely.
-Four Indicted.
The territorial grand jury yesterday
returned three indictments, among
which was one for Kanagawa for muir
der in the first degree. 1t was this
japanese who cut off the head of Rio,
the servant of Judge Lindsay, at the
Atters home and then tried to commit
suicide, which, however, will fail to
keep him from his probable fate on the
gallOws.
Manuel Ferreira and Frank Marks
are indicted together for ''swiping
Sam Damon s red heifer This heifer,
states the Indictment, was worth 800
dollars in coin of the realm, which
makes the olfense larceny in the first
degree.
zee Sue, because he misappropriated
$50 worth of goods from the store of
Sing Kim, is indicted for burglary in
the first degree.
More Definitions.
The dictionary trial proceeding in
the federal court still furnishes amuse-
ment. If Utchiyama ism It humorist
before his trial for sending obscene
language through the mails is complete,
it won t be for lack of opportunity.
Yesterday Breckons had Doctor
Hasegawa on the stand and he was at
tempting to get the definition of a Japa-
nese word used by Utchiyama supposed
TO mean traitor.
GLOW would you feel if somebody
called you that?' asked Breckons.
Lightfoot interposed a hasty objec-
ton and started in to argue. Mean
while the doctor was bordering in his
mind over his feelings under the cir
cumstanees. His choler rose under his
collar steadily and broke out in per-
spiration on his forehead. Lightfoot
meanwhile talked.
The idea grew upon the doctor. The
offense was compounded a dozen times
in his mind and he called down anathe-
mas inwardly upon the man who would
dare to call him such a thing but he
couldn't express his feelings in words
because Lightfoot was still talking
