FRIDAY.

John F. Ahlstrand, long resident
OF Virginia, was found dead ia a
creek near what is commonly re-
ferred to as Four Mile Lake on Fri
day last, by two men who are cut.
ting wood and camping at that
point.
Mr.. Ahlstrand had been at the
cabin of the woodsmen early in the
day, and upon their return from
work at the noon hour they found
he had changed his shoes for a pair
of rubber boots. As he did not
again show up, they later went in
search of him, presuming he had
gone to the lake. On the way they
ran onto his lifeIess body in small
creek, the position evidencing that
he had stopped over to get a drink
at a spring. When found his head
was beneath the water, showing
that death must have come iustan-
taneously.
The remains were brought to the
city and inferred on Wednesday.
Heart failure is ascribed as the
cause.

Pertinent Paragraphs

HON. c. A. RICE.-Now that
we have an architect on the grounds
what's the matter with having him
do little work on that County build
ing. We could take the $50, 900
out 500, 900 which Oahu wanted
and go right ahead with our County
building, and the money which
was allowed for this purpose could
replace this amount later on. This
would give us at once a building
which is badly needed. 1t seems to
me that this might be very easily
done.
ARCHITECT RIPLEY.-We
are going to give Hanapepe a school
built along the lines embodying
Superintendent Pope's ideas a S

Japanese yesterday afternoon when
the case of Nakamura charged
with the murder of a countryman,
came to an end and was passed up
to the jury, which, after short de-
liberation, rendered a verdict of
murder in the first degree. The
murder for which Nakamura was
convicted was the killing of a
camp boss in Makaweli on the
niglc of Oct. 11th. This is prob
ably the record for speed of any
trial so far recorded in our local
court, the murderer being arrested,
tried and convicted i'll little more
than months time. Nakamura is
known among the Japanese as a
bad" man, having for some time
acted in such way as to get the i'll
