When Mr. Abies went to the yard In rear of the Pantheon, where he had left his rig tied up, he found the horse and buggy missing.

WRIT Wilt IT Of SALOONS K, -.IV W ill Hull Belief That Hotjner Did Not Die By Fire. CORRESPONDENT TELLS OF ANGRY PORTO RICANS Deceased Was Seen Through Win dow By Men and Attempts Were Made to Rouse Him. Walmca, May 10 IMwIn W Horner, n brother of John M Homer of Hawaii, and of the late V Y. Horner, was murdered In bis home at Walraea, Kauai, ou the night of April ll and the house In which ho resided set on lire In an attempt to conceal the crime. The prevailing opinion In Honolulu seems to havo been that the case was simply one of burning but facts that have come to light since, prove that there was more than burning connected with the death. The deceased conducted the butcher shop for O Illackstad, In Walmca, and early on the night In question two Por to Illcans entered his place of busi ness and called for some meat Mr. Horner gave the men sevonty-flv cents' worth, which was charged on the book, the customers having no money In an hour or so they return ed and called for more, but this time their request was denied, whereupon the became verj abusive. Mr. Horner was obliged to put them out of his place In a forcible mannci and they went away muttering threats In Spanish, a language with which Mr. Horner was quite familiar. Later In the evening Mr. Horner re lated all these ilrctimxtanccs to Mr. Illackstad and others and then- re tire to his apirtmenl, adjoining tho shop, to go to bed. That was the last seen of the unfortunate man by his acquaintances till hl3eaa body was taken from the ruins of the lire a few hours afterward. Ilctwccn 11 and 12 o'clock that night people living In the vicinity were aroused by cries of Are and, upon emerging from their house, they saw Ulackstnd'a butcher shop as well as Mr. Horner's apartment, enveloped In (lames. The flro had gained great headway when discovered, and It was Impossible, to enter Mr Horner's room. Men look ing through tho windows saw him lying across his bed and they used all sorts of methods to bring him to a senso of his peril. Tbc shouted with all their might and threw sticks and other missies at him and verj soon came to the conclusion that he was dead. When the flro was finally extinguish ed a phjslclan made an examination of tho heir burned body and discovered two knlfo wounds, one In tho right side and tho other through tho heart. This seemed to be evidence concluslvo that he had been murdered. The few who had heard the story about tho Porto Rlcans and their threats at once charged the foreigners with the crime. Mr. Illackstad was greatly excited and If he could have, procured assistance a search through the Porto Itlcan colony would huve been Instituted. Tho premises where tho crime took place arc never securel) fastened at night Walmca Is a community of honest folk who trust one another. The supposition Is that the Porto Rl cans knowing where Mr. Horner slept, returned In the dead of night for re venge, entered tho room, killed their victim and then flced the building, That they purchased a considerable quantity of meat early In the evening would seem to Infer that ono or both wero mairlcd men Mr. Horner wns well liked through out Walmea and It wns not thought that he had an enemy who would do him any bodily harm. Thero have been no arrests nnd It Is not likely that there will be any at this lato period. The deceased wns about CO jcars of age and a native of Now Jersey. Ho came to tho Islands about twenty yoais ago and hnd a wide acquaintance throughout tho group Ho left nine children, five sons nnd four daughters. Of his sons, Staco I. resides In Hono lulu, A. W.
