The entire police force of Hawai-
hau together with about three dozen
citizens made a hurried trip to the
homesteads last Sunday evening at
about 1880 to trap two Filipino burg
lars who had been seen trying to
Kapahi. John Teves, who lived near
by, was passing the place just after
dusk, when he saw two Filipinos try
ing to open the back door of the house
which was unoccupied at the time.
For fear of being attacked when he
saw another Filipino coming in his
direction, Teves dashed into the near
By cane field, and the noise caused
the two Filipinos to make a hurried
retreat.
When the police arrived, the whole
neighborhood was gone over in an eff
ort to find the mauraders, and every
body who looked suspicious was ques-
toned, but with no results. The men
had vanished.
