Yesterday morning representatives
OF the board appeared at the Farm
ranch and began preparations for the
removal Men with q hose SPRAYED the
animals Of the herd with water and

placed in a dray and taken on its
journey to the new home, where the

wind is not from the mountains.
! In this manner sixty head made the
trip yesterday and today il is expect
cd that the remainder of the herd will
be treated likewise. This will see the
end OF the Farm ranch in Manoa. When
Thursday comes along the board coun.
sci, Acting Attorney General Smith,

the government will not move the eat.
