HILO, May 9.-Work on the roads,
except absolutely necessary repairs
and matters of maintenance will
cease, the Hilo band has been given
a vacation, and the supervisors have
cut down considerably the expenses
of the various departments.
The meeting of the board held last

difficulty with the law, and as a conse-

charged he found that the wife haG
departed for Honokaa with another
man. The original husband made {
complaint, the result being that the
erring couple was arrested on charges
of adultery. But when the case came
up before the Hamakua district mag
istrate, the defendants produced a sen
sation by producing evidence to the
effect that they were married, and the
deputy sheriff Immediately threw ur

In the mean time the authorities got
busy, and they now claim to have evi

marriage in Japan, but also the sub
sequent marriage here, and they fur

been re-arrested on charges of adul-

ably be placed against the woman.
