CRIME SUSPECTS
WEREOVERTAKEN
After An Exciting Chase Over
The State Highway.

An exciting road race over a por-
ton of tn e State Highway in this
county took place Monday night of
this week, when Sheriff White was
in receipt of a message apprising him
of the fact that an attempt at muir
der had been committed at Thomas,
and that the suspects responsible for
the crime, both being foreigners, and
driving high-power automobile, were
headed toward Oakland and requested
the local officers to intercept and ar
rest the fleeing men and hold them
for Identification by the West Virgin
la authorities. By the time the sher-
iff had received the information and
was ready to start in quest of the
men they had passed through town at
a pretty high speed, headed toward
the Nationa Pike.
The Sheriff, accompanied by two
deputies and in the automobile of DR..
B. F. Selby, with the latter driving,
started on the chase, with the two
men twelve minutes in advance of
them. With expert skill which has
always been a characteristic of DR.
Selby's driving, he succeeded in over
taking the front car on Bear creek hill
near Accident.
The men were brought back to Oak
land and held here until the next
day when the Thomas officers came
here and after identifying hem took
them on to Thomas, where they will
stand trial.

INMATES OF MAHELONA HOS
PiTAL GIVEN GREAT TREAT

Stories, Stories, here's the stories
coming!" And the cry ran along the
corridors and verandas and out onto
the lawn of the Mahelona Hospital,
at Kapaa, Sunday afternoon, and the
inmates, children and grown-ups, with
beaming eyes and smiling faces of
delighted expectation, gathered in as
to feast. The occasion was the ad
vent of Mr.. and Mrs. Lydgate witt.
their little folding organ, their stock
of picture papers, and most of all
their repertoire of Bible stories and
other entertaining tales set forth in
such dramatic guise as goes straight
to the heart of child.
Failing an assembly room, on of
the long verandas served instead, and
the audience which included every
race and color, as well as inmate who
could possibly hobble out, ranged
themselves along the walls, or perch
ed on the verandah ratings. Every
move elected the keenst intrest; the
unfolding and setting up of the lit.
tie organ; the astonishing amount
of noise from so small an instrument;
the singing of the hymns, weak and
timid at first, but quite creditable at
the end.
But the commanding interest of the
occasion was the story telling that
followed, when they listened with
breathless, open mouthed attention
to the exploits of Gideon and his
Band, and the graphic rise and fall
of King Midas and his golden touch.
These occasions, when some out
side visitor comes into their monot-
onOus lives, with a little bit of some
thing new, are veritable beams of
sunshine to them, and are most
heartily appreciated. 'Inasmuch as
ye have done it unto one of the least
of these my brethern, ye have done
it unto me-"
