AN INSANE DUMPING SPOT
f. To t i, .1
ground f o r 'Honolulu's insane
1 Ins is a question that many of
our citizens are asking themselves,
since it has been learned that form
er Superintendent loua of Wai
.
mea, wuo was adjudged . insane,
and through the Waimea district
court, committed t o the insane
asylum in Honolulu has been per
miUed to live in Lihue only. Mr.
lona has been released from the
asylum, and given a parole witl
the understanding that he is to live
in Lihue or Honolulu, uothwith
sUntiing tint he owns propertv in
Wniinea, and that that placeshouhl
in tvrrv sense ot inn meaning, i e
the proper place for him to reside
Shortly after Mr. Iona's com
mitnieiit to the asvliim, rumors
becau to be whispered about to
the effect that he was simply rail
roaded. The fact that he was short
ly 'released and returned to his trade
as carpenter, doing most satisfa -
tory work, rather added color to
the rumor, and that he has
been prohibited from again tak
inc up his residence in his old
home, would not only indicate
turther evidence of railroading, but
the possibility of some of the Wai
mea influence having taken root
in the official realms of the asylum.
The man appears perfectly ration
aj and friends who have known
,llim for the last twenty years, de
clare that they can see no change
in him. It lie is insane, wny cio
tht asvluin officials allow him to
go at hbertv at all. If he is not
insane, what right has the officials
to interfere in any manner with
his liberty," are questions the com
munity would like to have satis
factorily answered. It appears to
the averap.e person, conversant
with a few of the circumstances
surrounding the case, that the
whole matter is a frame-up in order
to keen the man out of the district

CHOLERA OCARE
Deputy Territorial Veterinary
Surgeon, A. R. ulaisver, deserves
inucji credit for having so effective
ly checked what- would h a v e
otherwise resulted in the most de
stru. tive epidiinic of hog cholera
in the history of Koloa district.
The disease had gained Mich a
foot-hold before the doctor learned
of its existence that a number of
hogs h d died, but tin; doctor's
piomptness i n dealing with the
situation put a slop to its further
pr.'gress.
Ho sent for serum, and while
waiting for its arrival, established
a qiuuentine, placed guards on the
various roads leading out of the
district, killed a number of animals
which h e considered incurable,
burned a large number of pens,
and thoroughly disenfected t h e
rest of them. The guards r e -inained
on duty for a week or ten
days, during which time they
were the means of stopping the
transportation of a number of in
fected animals from the district,
bv owners who fearing the des
truction of their hogs, had attempt
ed to remove them from the danger
..one.
The scrum having arrived, the
doctor came to the conclusicn that
it would be just as secure and
much more ecoiponical were he to
delegate a man as "hog enumera
tor, that is, to have a man make
a daily trip to every pig pen in
the district, for the dual purpose
of keeping a check on the condi
tion and number of pigs., Doc.
has been busy for the last week
with his hypodermic serum gun,
and reports no more new caSes.
The county fathers deserve com
mendation for their promptness in
aiding the vet. in his campaign of
prottction, bv furnishing the re
quired number of guards and the
hog census" man, who is none
other than 'Maile" the popular
captain of the Koloa police fotce.
