K. P. Smoker
On Tonioh
This evening, at tlie "Iv. P."
hall, the much talked of Smoker
will be given by the local lodge of
the Knights of Pythias. The affair
promises to be a splendid one and
a very large attendance is expected.
Each member has sent out invita
tions, through the secretary, and
the consequence is that people from

smoker tonight.
The vocal and instrumental part
of the program will be splendid and
some of the best singers of Maui
will take part.
The list of toasts has been made
up and, although, of course, the

intention of sawing his head off.
Luff left.
Later on, when he thought it
safe, Luff returned and lived for a
while in the house Then the
trouble started up again and Luff
. "beat it for good." Before Luff
left, he was told what he was, 'in
the estimation of his wife. "She
said she could get a better man any
where," declared Luff to the court.
Luff, on the stand, said that
sometimes he would bo in bed asleep
when his wife came home "jagged."
"Your honor, she would make me
get out of bed and drink with her.
If I did not, there was a row. If 1
did drink, there was still sure to bo
a row."
Evidence as to the drinking habits
of the woman was given, and one
witness stated that Mrs. Luff when
drunk had called at his place and,
in answer to a question as to her
name, had announced the fact that
her name was "Mud." The wit
ness also said that the first time he
had ever seen her sober was "right
here in court."
A police ollicer swore that ho had
found Mrs. Luff wandering around
Market street in a state of intoxica
tion. The woman' ran into a stable
and as she grabbed a Chinese and
held on, the policeman had to take
both persons along to the police
station.
All this evidence of the witnesses
for the husband seemed to convince
Judge Kingsbury, lie, however,
had the woman put on the stand.
She appeared with a black eye.
Upon being asked how she got the
colored peeper, she stated that she
was at a dance and that in doing
the Tango, or some other step, she
collided with a post in the room.
Judge Kingsbury did not waste
much time and granted the divorce
to Luff, who left the court after be
ing ordered to pay attorney's fees.
"It is worth thousands of dollars to
be rid of her," ho declared.

thing to eat at the police station,
and a hunt was made for someone
who know who she was. No one in
