that all was well. He therefore got
his horse and started back towards
the camp.
White Consicts in Desperate Plot.
) When about four miles along the
road Woods was met by five prison
ers who warned him that the "haole''
do him up" and they also stated that
a Porto Rican prisoner had been shot
by Lyons.
Woods made his way to the. camp
| and entered it By a dark side. He
encountered Parker and asked him
where the haoles were. Parker said
| that F'urguson, lad just passed over
towards the toilet room. Woods then
| told Parker to wait for the prisoner
J and instructed him to challenge the
man when he returned. This Parker
did and was rev arded by a punch on
: the jaw from FurgusOn.
Woods then charged out on Furgu.
+ son, who ran for the dining tent,
where he hoped to dodge until he
could reach his room. Woods, how.
ever blocked him and having called
upon him to stop and being defied
! took shot at the prisoner but missed
him. Furguson then disappeared in
the darkness and made his way to-
wards Kona.
Woods then went towards Lyons
: room and there saw the gunman look
ing out of the door John Monroe, an
other convict was in the room also.
Woods got close enough to the man
who WAS carrying rifle and, sudden

| thrust his revolver into Lyons stom.
ach and made him surrender. The
rifle vas useless as the desperate
had not found the cartridges to rit the
gun. ~. ..-- ..>-... 49,. ..---@.
Then came the. job of getting Mon.
roe out of the room and Woods &C.
complished this by taking Lyons up
to the door Of the room and telling
him to cali the other man out at
once under pain of getting drilled
himself Monroe then came out and
was at cnce bounced upon and hand

Furguson was captured next day by
gang Of prisoners who were sent out
to find him. He was laced up like a
stuffed turkey when brought back to
camp. The man had made his way
for some miles down the road towards
Kona and was discovered by the rest
of the prisoners on Sunday morning.
Daley, the prisoner who tele-
phone& from the camp to Woods on
Saturday evening and who was forced
at the point of revolver to say every
/, thing was ell right, escaped from the
camp and made his way towards Dep
uty Sheriff Lindsay's place. Before
!, he got away from the camp he was
assaulted and had three teeth driven
down his throat by the haoie con-
victs, who hated him for being loyal
! to Woods. ~-*. q -. -, < < - (
| Daley told Lindsay that he had
missed the road in the dark On Sat
urday evening and that he made his
/ way as rapidly as possible to warn
! Woods that the haole eonvicts had
conspired to murder him. .-
J; Money and Gun Stolen. ..-. -.
| Woods, after the excitement had
! died down a little, found that his
room had been entered and every
thing thrown about the place. About
!, SIS of Woods money was stolen, but
much larger amount that belonged
to certain prisoners was not discoy-
cred by the intrrders. Woods revolV-
er and rifle were taken and it was
with the first named weapon that the
Porto Rican was shot by Lyons.
! Woods sent wireless message to
Honolulu and told the acting high
sheriff of the trouble at Waimea.
Then, as there was no place at the
camp or at Walmea where despera-
does of the white convicts' type could
be confined, Woods decided to bring
| the men to Hilo. He started out in
an Automobile and reached Hilo on
Sunday afternoon. The convicts were
placed in the Hilo Jail for the time
| being.
Furguson Lyons and Monroe are
implicated in a conspiracy which is
said to include general Jail delivery,
For some time past it is said that
| the white prisoners who could not Sc
| cure easy jobs as TRUSTEES at the camp
have been stirring up the Filipino and
Porto RiCan prisoners to rebel against
Woods. The colored prisoners, how
ever. appear to have refused to take
a hand in the proposed plot.
The whole affair has stirred up eX-
element in and near Waimea and the
consensus of o0inion seems to be that
desperate Uurderers and such like
prisoners should not be sent to work
outside prison, especially when There
is no way to confIne them properly or
to punish them for fresh offenses. The
Waimea Jail is disgrace, says Sher-
iff Pua, and bad prisoners cannot be
| kept there at all in safety.
Further advices concerning the out

| More Guards Wanted.
According to P. T. Phillips, purser
| Of the Mauna Kea, the people Of the
Big Island are greatly incensed over
| the outbreak and feel that there are
not sufficient guards maintained to
keep the prisoners in submission
Phillips said that from what he learn
ed at Hilo a sort of honor system is
in force there. The prisoners, large
