Nielsen overturned over in Hilo the
other day, and which in the end resulted
in his arrest here upon his arrival by
the Mauna Kea Saturday. He will be
sent back to square things up.
Nielsen had quarrel with Julio
Augustine over a money matter. 1t
ended in Nielsen making off with the
money in question, jumping into an
automobile and dashing away around a
corner without the formality of footing
his horn according to the statutes made
and provided.
Now Deputy Sheriff Fetter noticed
this omission and made haste to effect
a capture. Nielsen was released on his
own recognizance, but failed to show
up in court at the stipulated time,
whereupOn bench warrant was issued.
The following morning Nielsen APP
peared before Judge Wise to answer
charges of violating the auto ordinance,
of larceny and of contempt of court
He pleaded guilty to the first charge
and was fined $40 and costs, which he
paid.
Again Nielsen was released ON his
own recognizance, but instead of re.
pairing TO court for further hearing
Nielsen took passage on the Mauna
Kea for Honolulu. His arrest was
brought about Immediately upon his ar.
