LAVA DESTROYS
MUCH PROPERTY
Two Great Streams of Lava are Flowing Into
the Sea. Another Stream in Kona is
Fast Approaching the Water.
FRED . REYMON
Two Persons arc Held for
that One is Guilty of Killing Reymon. A
Woman is Mixed in the Affair.
THE GREAT ERUPTION.
The great eruption on Mauna
Loa which occurred about mid
night on the morning of the 10th
instant was one of the greatest out
breaks seen on the island of Ha
waii for many years. It was seen
in Hilo and Wailuku shortly after
midnight. Huge columns of firo
and smoke arose high into the
heavens lighting up the surround
ing country for many miles.
Old residents who are familiar
with the out breaks of the past say
that the outbreak was larger than
that of 1889.
The fact that the lava flow
reached the sea in three days time
shows that the flow of lava is im
mense. Former flows have re
quired months to reach the sea
while but few have gone so far.
People on the big island have
applied by wire for o"n excursion
steamer to visit the How and it is
probable that two steamers will be
sent from Honolulu soon with ex
cursionists from that place for the
purpose.
As part of the Government road
is destroyed and part of the tele
phone system is destroyed by the
the lava it is difficult to get accu
rate information as to the place of
the outbreak but those who are
familiar with the contour of the
island believe the outbreak occurr
ed below the top of the mountain.
Many persons on this island are
anxious to see the volcano and will
doubtless take advantage of the
first opportunity to go to the scene
of the volcanic activity that its
offered by the Stoamship Company.
RBYMON WAS MURDERED.
Last Friday it was reported that
Fred Reymon had committed sui
cide in Kanaio near Ulupalakua.
As It was known that criminal re
lations existed between Reymon
and a woman there many refused
to accept the suicide theory and

WAS MURDERED.
Investigation on the Suspicion
the Sheriff ordered an inquest to
bo held.
A Cornoners jury wascnipanncl-
od and took two days in the ex
amination of witnesses with the
result that a confession was made
by one of the parties and two
placed under arrest.
Deputy Sheriff Edgar Morton
conducted the inquest and much
credit is due him for bringing out
the facts in the case.
Mary Ann Kaaipalaoa stated to
the jury that she and Gcorgo Kao-
nohi Auekalani were in a room to
gether when Fred Reymon came
home. They were asleep at the
time. Reymon was angered at
finding Auekalani and wont to get
0 . . .at).. n
an ax. As lie came in the woman
throw her arms around him while
Auekalani shot him.
The jury returned a verdict that
the deceased came to his death at
the hands of George Kaonohi Aue
kalani and Mary Ann Kaaipaluoa.
The woman was placed under
arrest at once and the Deputy
Sheriff of Hana was telephoned to
have Auekalani placed under ar
rest at once which was done and
they were both brought to Wailuku
whero their preliminary hearing
will bo held.
Reymon was a cowboy and half
Spaniard.
SENTENCED TO EIGHTEEN
MONTHS IMPRISONMENT.
On January 4th, James Polani
and two other young Hawaiians
were before the District Court on
the charge of larceny, At the re
quest of the County Attorney sen
tence was suspended for a period
of thirteen months and the young
men yvar,ned to conduct themselves
properly or suffer the sentence of
the Court.
Two of them apparently took
the warning to heart and are now
enjoying their liberty while the
older one, James Polani was arrest
ed last Saturday on a charge of as
sault and battery on the person of
a fifteen year old Hawaiian girl
and was sentenced to six months
imprisonment 01. this charge and
on the former conviction was sen
tonced to 0110 years imprisonment
which term will take effect at the
expiration of the first sentonce.
It is the policy of the Court and
County Attornoy to. give minor
offenders an opportunity to redeem
themselves when brought beforo
the Court for the first time and
have the sentences suspended for
a long term but if they fail to pro
perly conduct themselves they will
suffer the- penalty.
This plan has been in uso in
Judge Lindsay's Court in Denver
Colorado and has been found to be
an excellent one and its adoption
hero should prove a succoss in most
cases at least.

A- farewell dinner to Attorney

ing. Sho had been ill for a long
time and her death was not unex

Teachers before the Soldiers.
Indications are that there will bo
a general raid upon the territorial
Treasury during the session of the
Legislature that begins nest month.
It is true that only a few oP tho re
quests for larger appropriations
have yet come to light, but there has
been but one instance yet made pub
he wherein a smaller appropriation,
than that granted in 1903, has been
sot forth as sulliciont for tho coming
blenmel period. If wo mistake not
it was the Governor who set the ball
rolling with the announcement that
ho intended to ask tho Legislature
for an apprdpriation for the National
Guard of Hawaii. But, place aux
dames. It Is tho teachers who have
for i.early two years been waiting
patiently for a return to tho old
salary list, which should be restored
before any other item in any appro
priation bill is advanced one cent
Then wo have the proposed creation
of a sinking fund for teachers' pen
sions. Both the Board of Health
and tho Board of Education have
given indications of financial unrest
Tho Superintendent of Public Works
has announced that additional spend
ing money will bo welcome, County
clerks and oven members of one of
the Boards of Supervisors have been
heard from. Lands and Survey have
emitted whispers. .Members of the
Legislature have suggested a larger
honorarium for themselves, and there

HILO, Hawaii, Jan. 15, 10 a. in. Thore were two more new outbreak's1
on tho summit of Mauna Loa yesterday.
A bright glare was again visible last ulght.
News from tho Volcano eruption has been sdow as tho wo'ather jias
interfered with rapid working of tho wireless. The dispatch given was "got1
through early this forenoon and gives the situation up to dato. As Rfaiina
Loa is many thousand foot high, it is obviously impossible for tho people 'in
Hilo or In Kona or Kau to state definitely as to the character of the now
flows.
As was tho case with the flow which passed over a portion of Kahuku
ranch, the people down below know just what the situation is when tho lava
gets within reaching distance.
It is probablo that immediately after the first outbreak parties, wore
made up to go to tho top of the mountain, and some word should soon be
obtained of their observations.
A dispatch received last evening stated that the new flow was
moving toward Kona. As the lator dispatch of today does not con
firm this statement, it is highly probablo that tho direction of tho flow
from tho now outbreak is puro speculation.
Tho Henry Waterhouso Trust Company has made every effort to .ob
tain a special steamer to carry a party to tho Volcano display on Hawaii.
As thp sugar season is just starting in, tho task has boen a difficult one.
Finally tho inter-Island Steam Navigation Company has promised that as
soon as the Heleno arrive! atid is unloaded sho will bo available for tho
