respondent. (!ampDole, Kalalau Valley, J uly
I, 1S93. The departure of the Waiale
alc yesterday morning was the occa
sion of much weeping and wailing on
the part of the lepers who were part
ing with the residents of this valley.
The people here are related in a more
or les3 degree, and while they seemed
glad to have the lepers captured, a
feeling of kin got the best of them as
they were placed on the ship's boats
and lamentations were loud and fre
quent. After the steamer departed with her
tainted freight, Larsen ordered all
the non-lepers to go at once to our
camp with the intention of reading
them the riot act for the second time,
to see if they were attempting to con
ceal from him regarding the where
abouts of Kooiau, the murderer, and
the five other lepers. They were ques
tioned and cross-questioned but they
repeated their first story, and declared
that they knew nothing of the miss
ing men. One of the natives, how
ever, stated that the. people now at
Haena, who deserted the valley at the
time of the murder, were relatives of
the lepers and he was of the opinion
thjt the four men and one woman,
not including Kooiau and his family,
had taken the Hanalei trail and no
doubt we're on their way to that place
to Join their friends.
This information seemed reasonable
and Larsen decided to send natives to
Haena to ascertain, if possible, if the
lepers had gone that way. Wahine
aloha, who, it will be remembered,
was the man who was sent to secure
the surrender of the lepers in the val
ley, was sworn in as a special police
man and accompanied by two others,
he departed for Haena on horseback.
At sundown the three men returned
in company with William Kinney.
Kinney is a half-caste and has lately
leased a fertile valley between Haena
and this place. He is a very respect
able young man and an intelligent
one also. He informed Larsen that he
had not seen anything of the lepers,
but said that after sundown a night or
two i-ince, his dogs commenced to
bark loudly. It was such an unusual
occurrence that he made an investiga
tion but discovered nothing. Wahiue
aloha went about a mile and a half
beyond Kinney's place and found out
that some taro had been taken from a
patch, but there was no other evidence
to show that a party had recently gone
over the trail.
After 9 o'clock yesterday morning
the small howitzer was dragged to tle
top of a hill near the camp for use. It
was aimed at the eastern side of the
valley and in quick succession five
shell were exploded. The noise was
terrific and the echoes could be heard
rumbling through the valley for some
time after the shell struck the earth.
This display of force was made in
diope that Kooiau would become fright
ened and give hiritself up. He did not
scare worth a centt and at this writ
ing his whereabouts is just as deep a
mystery as it has been since the ar
rival of the expedition. .
A second party, consisting of C 15.
Reynolds, Officers Hilbus, Mitchell
and Marnimt, and the leper Paoa,
retnraed yesterday morning, after
spending the night on the ridge of the
gorge in which the murderer is sup
posed to be hidden. Nothing was seen
of Kooiau according to the trustworthy
members of the party, but Marmont
took several of the soldier bovs to one
side, so they say, and gave the start
ling information that he had seen
Kooiau and had actually shaken bauds
with the fellow. Marmont was asked
why he did not place him under arrest
but to this question a deaf ear was
turned. Marmont is a government
detective and during the examination
of Crick, Sinclair and Walker, the al
leged conspirators, he convulsed every
body In the courtroom with an illus
tration of the royalist's secret sign.
Lieut. King, In charge of the mili
tary, took four men with him yester
day and started for the Hanalei
side of the valley looking for Kooiau.
They remained out uutil sundown
and then returned tired and footsore.
They ascended one side of the moun
tainous wall, but saw no sign of
human beings. A grass hut was dis
covered which was entered by the
lieutenant. o food was found but a
native newspaper was picked up In
side of the hut with the name of
"Kooiau" written in pencil on the
title pasre. It proves to be a copy of
the Weekly Holomua and was
dated June 10, lb&3. The officer felt
sure that he bad found a hiding place
of the leper, but when he returned to
camp his theory was found to be in
correct. The leprous wife of Paoa,
who is detained as a guide, stated that
the hut belonged to them, and that
they had borrowed the paper from
another who had received it from
Kooiau.
The woman mentioned tolls an
account of the shooting by Kooiau
which dillVrs in several respects from
the accounts previously published.
SJhe says that when Xw'z visited the
place several weeks ao he had every
inhabitant of the vulley congregate

Kool.iu consented to co. The officer
took a list of all those who were pres
ent and then departed for Waimea.
When he returned he changed his
tactics and commenced to bully the
natives. He informed them that his
second visit was for the purpose of
taking them away, and if any of
them attempted to escape he would
shoot them. This statement, accord
ing to the woman's story, frightened
the lepers and later in the day the
took their effects and went to the
head of the valley, where they re
mained until they surrendered to
Larsen.
Her husband, Paoa, ventured out of
the hiding place and was captured by
Stolz. The officer took the captive
down the valley towards the sea
shore. They ascended to the top of a
hill where several cottages stand when
Kooiau was seen. The leper was
standing behind a big boulder, and
when Stolz called on him to surren
der he answered with a shot from his
rifle. Stolz fell and when he struck
the ground the leper fired the second
shot. After searching the body the
murderer escaped to the top of the
valley where he is said to be located
now.
The scouting parties have orders to
search every house or hut that they
may meet with in their travels. The
house near which the deputy sheriff
was killed was entered and between
two mattresses a police badge was
found besides several empty envel
opes which were addressed to Stolz.
Late yesterday afternoon the spe
cial police were ordered in a body to
proceed to the head of the valley to
camp for several days. The distance
.is about two miles from the regular
camp.
In speaking of Kooiau, a native says
that he i3 a very arrogant person, and
since h.s advent here he has been a
continual source of trouble. He has
been a resident of the valley for only
eight months. He was formerly em
ploy ed as a vacquero at Kekaha, this
island, by Gay & Robinson. He rau
away from the place mentioned to
escape being sent to Molokai. By a
strange coincidence, it was Stolz who
discovered that he was a leper. He is
not bodily diseased, so the natives
sav, as his face and cars are the only
parts affected. The hut formerly oc
cupied by him was found yesterday,
and, In ransacking the place, a bundle
of personal letters were found. They
vcom frnm rl:if inn and friends, and
contained nothing that would interest
the public.
At 3 o'clock this morning Captain
Larsen and C. B. Reynolds left in a
whaleboat for Haena to see if any-
thintf could be learned of the where
abouts of the missing lepers. The
boat was manned by five natives, and
It took two hours to row the distance.
On their arrival at Haena, Deputy-
SherirT Deverill was found with a
guard. Deverill informed Larsen
that shortly alter sunaown on last
Saturdav two natives answering to

several questions, they took the road
towards Hanalei. Deverill said he
was asleep while all this was going
on. Ihis information aiu noi nave a
soothing effect on Larsen, and, as u
result, the denutv-sheriff received a
scorching for his neglect.
The whaleboat in which the natives
wor nnrrierl in TT:iena after thev de
serted this place, as mentioned iu ray
last letter, was jauncueu anu uau m
the natives were ordered to go into it,
while the other half was taken in
Larsen's boat. Both boats put oil,
and the whole party arrived here
about 10 o'clock. The natives seemed
to be very glad to return to their
homes.
TTrion liia arrival here. Larson de
cided to send two natives after Manuia
and his four companions. One of the
natives selected for the purpose is a
brother to one of the lepers. To scare
him into mauing an enon to capture
the party, he was told that if he did
not sneeeed. his house would be de
stroyed and his land confiscated. This
threat had the uesireu enecc, auu ue
fore noon the native, with a com
panion, started oil tor uanaiei to
search for the leper3.
in the meantime no woru nau oeeii
cenr to niimn bv the policemen, so a
squad of fifteen soldiers, under com
mand of Major J. W. Pratt, started
out to mate a tnorougu searcu oi me
head of the valley for the hiding-place
tt KYrlii and famllv.
After Pratt and his party left, things
were very dull until after lunch, when
Marmont, with vivid imagination,
and another officer arrived with a
fairy tale. This wa3 about 1 o'clock.
The gist of the story was that, while
they were searching a gulch, they
were startled by seeing a native minus
any wearing apparel. They did not
stop to take the native "dead or
alive," according to orders, but hur
ried back to camp for aid. While
Marmont was eating his lunch, every
one guyed him unmercifully, but no
amount of joking would interfere with
his appetite or make him alter his
story. ., ,
An interval cf quiet prevailed until
the arrival at camp of Dick" Taylor
and another policeman. They brought
the important information that the
eol iiers had located the stronghold of
Kooiau. The news was gratelully re
ceived, and in a few minutes the bal
ance of the soldiers in camp were in
readiness to reinforce the contingent
located at the head of the valley.
They marched away under command
of Lieutenant King. .
While Larsen was preparing to fol
low the men two soldiers arrived,
breathless and laboring under a great
deal of excitement. The men were
Corporal McAuIton and a private,
who-e name I cannot recall at this
moment. They stated that they had
located Kooiau, and in an attempt to
reach him one of their men named
John Audrrson had been killed and
another was badly crippled.
This sad information cast a gloom
on all who were present at camp,-and
many expressions of sympathy were
spoken for the brave soldier who was
shot while doing his duty.
While both messengers were eating
some lunch they gave the following
particulars of the march which ended
with the loss of one life. About 8
o'clock the party started from the
camp for the head of the valley.
While on the way up they searched
every grass hut they met with. They
saw nothing of Kooiau, so their march
was continued. By and by a fresh
trail was discovered by Miller at the
head of the creek. It was evident to
him that some one had lately been
UALLV 1'ACIFIO COMMERCIAL ADVERTISE!, JULY 10, 1893.
over, as somepoi which had evidently
droppeil from a container was seen
now and then. The men who were
with Miller were Kvauston, (iunther,
Biuhm, Thoene and Johnson.
The party followed the trail through
fome thick brush, and after walking
a long distance they came across a
camp) which had evidently been left
in a hurry. Some fresh orange peel
whs foil xv.I on the ground, a piece of
fish wrapped in ti leaves, two bags of
taro, one hag of piai, some salt and a
coat containing two cartridges. There
were some sleeping places, which in
dicated that at least tight persons had
slept there last night.
After everything was examined
word wa3 sent to Major Pratt, who
was searching with his party in
a different direction, and his men re
paired to the newly-discovered camp.
When he arrived he came to the con
clusion that Kooiau and his family
had been living at that place and that
when they heard the soldiers coming
they ran 'further up the side of the
mountain, not even remaining long
enough to take any food with them.
The rest of the story is told in the
words of Corporal McAuIton: "By all
appearances Kooiau and his family
must have left when our searching
party came upon them. We found
loaded cartridges which they must
have dropped when they loaded their
rifles. By the appearance of the camp
there must have been eight or nine
persons who camped there last night.
"By a thorough search we found a
new trail which led us across a small
creek. The path took us up a steep
ridge, to a height of about 500 feet at
least, until we struck a straight cliff.
"Pratt ordered one or two men to
volunteer for the purpose of finding
out where the trail led to. Kvaus
ton and Anderson agreed to go. They
both started to climb the ridge, fol
lowed by Miller and some soldier
whom I could not distinguish. An
derson gained the top and shouted
down, 'Boys, I have got the trail.'
He hardly had the words out of his
mouth when two shots were fired
simultaneously. Evanston dropped
on top of me, while I in turn dropped
on Pratt; Miller fell on all of us. The
next thing I knew I was among a lot
of vines rolling down the ridge, as I
could not get a foothold.
"We then retreated, and while we
were on our way to the camp where
the police headquarters were, firing
on the ridge, where Kooiau was
located, was kept up for fifteen min
utes. Johnson soon joined us and re
ported that he fell down from the rock
and rolled down the ridge. He did not
stop rolling down the ridge until he
reached a gulch a distance of about
G'JO feet. He lost his gun and cap, and
is badly bruised. We retreated as far
as the camp where the lepers slept
Ia-t, and then Pratt detailed me to re
port at headquarters for reinforce
ments." During a conversation with Mc
AuIton, it was learned that Kooiau Is
entrenched on a ridge on the Waimea
side of the valley. He is resting on a
sort of a tableland on which there is a
large rock which' protects him from
rifle balls. He is situated in such a
way that he can shoot every man who
attempts to get near him. As it was
the soldiers were about twenty feet
from him when Anderson was shot.
The next information to reach
Camp Dole was of a more pleasant
nature. It was to the effect that
Manuia and the four missing lepers
were on their way to the valley. Soon
after the party was seen descending a
hill on the liaualei siite. They were
accompan ed by William Kinney and
the two natives who were sent to
search for them. The leper3 we're
found on the trail near Haena. They
surrendered willingly, as they had
nothing to eat for about twenty-four
hours. They had but one rifle and one
revolver with them, which were left
at Kinney's place. The lepers soon
reached the camp, and were given
something to eat, after which they
were placed in a hut under guard.
The following is a list of the lepers:
Kala, age 2o (k.); Kaili, age lo ik.);
Meliaka, age IS (w.;; Kihoa, age 24
(k.). Manuia, the fifth one, is not a
leper. He is married to Meliaka, and
is detained as a witness to the murder
of Stolz.
Camp Dole, Kalalau Valley,
Kauai, Wednesday, July 5, 1S93.
Two more members of Company "A,"
named McCabe and Husberg, respec
tively, met their death this morning.
McCabe was shot and instantly killed
by Kooiau, the leperoutlaw, and Hus
berg met his death by the accidental
discharge of his rifle.
The news was brought to eimpin
the forenoon by Larsen, who was re
turning with the body of John Ander
son, who was shot and killed the day
before. He could give no particulars
of the fatalities, as he wa3 not present
when the men where shot.
During the afternoon C. B. Rey
nolds arrived at camp and gave the
following information regarding the
finding of the body of Andersou, and
the death of the two others: "Myself
and Larsen left camp this morning
about 5:30 o'clock with some natives
to bring back the body of Anderson,
if it could be found. On our way to
the head of the valley we stopped at
the police camp for a few moments
and then started for the front, where
Kooiau was supposed to be. When we
got within a short distance of his
hiding place, the searching party
spread out, and commenced to look for
Anderson's body. After considerable
searching, one of the soldier boys
found it. The body was dressed only
in a pair of trousers, and from appear
ances he had taken off his shirt as
soon as he discovered he was shot.
The wound was plugged up with
some fern leaves. He had evidently
crawled some distance after he was
shot to get a safer place to prevent
himself from rolling to the bottom of
the valley. He was found lying on
his back with both hands folded over
his abdomen and his head was rest
ing on his cap.
"We tracked the marks of blood for
some distance up the hill towards
Koolau's stronghold to see if we could
find the dead man's rifle. We picked
up his cartridge belt and bayonet be
sides finding his shirt and necktie.
These articles were found about fifty
feet from where the body laid.
"A short while after this Larsen
gave an order to fire some volleys
towards the place where Kooiau was
supposed to be. I did not think this
was a good plan because it betrayed
our position, but we fired the volleys
according to orders. After about
sixty shots were fired Larsen placed
the squad of men in my charge with
orders to get as near a3 possible to
Koolau's place. He then Mt for the
camp.
"We advanced in skirmishing order
and reached a position within thirty
yards of where the outlaw was hiding
in the bluff, as we were under the
Impression that he had cleared out
because he did not reply to our vol
ley. After we got in line orders were
given to the men to cover our ad
vance. Corporal Wells, myself and a
private started to get closer to Koo
iau. At this moment two shots rang
out instantaneously, one of which
struck Private John McCabe in the
head and he dropped back dead.
Hirschberg also fell to the rear but I
did not know at the time that he was
shot. I thought he was retreating
for another cover. There were several
shots fired about that time by our boys
and someone sang out that Hirsch
berg was dead. In my opinion he
was killed by an accidental discharge
of his gun as the brush where we
stood was very thick, and the trigger
must have been caught in a heavy
vine. McCabe was shot by Kooiau as
we saw a flash at the leper's hiding
place when he fell.
"We immediately sent a messenger
to the lower camp to report the death of
the two men ana meanwhile held the
position we had gained until we re
ceived;word to bring the bodies down
to the camp. After recovering the
bodies I returned to camp."
Dr. Cooper who was stationed at
the head of the valley at the time of
the fatal shooting made an examina
tion of both men and found that in
each case death was instantaneous.
He came to the conclusion that Hus
berg met wilh an accidental death, as
powder burns indicated close range.
The bullet entered the left side of his
neck and passed obliquely upwards
and made an exit just below the right
ear. Hirschberg was a native cf Swe
den, aged 25 years and was supposed
to be a single man.
John M. B. McCabe, the victim of
of Kooiau, was 4S years of age at the
time of his death. He was an Irish
American, and is said to be a veteran
of the civil war. I am informed that
he is married to a native woman who
lives in Honolulu. He has been a
resident of this country for a number
of years and is well known on the isl
and of Hawaii. In his case the bullet
passed through the left side of his
head. It fractured the parietal bone
and laid open the brain.
Of John Anderson, who was shot
yesterday, but little is known. He was
a Norwegian and had been in tins
country but a few months. Before
joining the militia he followed the
sea for a living. The bullet which
ended his career entered under the
right clavicle and passed out just be
low the shoulder blade of the same
side. In the opinion of the doctor he
lingered some time after he was shot.
Shortly before noon his body
reached the camp. The sun was very
warm and it was thought best to bury
him at once. The natives around the
camp were notified to dig a grave,
which thev did in a short time, and
just at 12 o'clock the body of the un-
fortunate man was consigueu iu we
mother earth. At the grave stood
Officer Larsen, Luther Wilcox, your
correspondent, Officer Kamaua, and
three members of compauy "A," who
paid their late comrade the military
honor befitting his position.
Later in the afternoon the bodies of
McCabe and Hirschberg were brought
in. They were laid side by side in a
uouoie grave utAt iu nuuciiKm
in"- place. Their burial was attended
by Lieut. King, C. B. Reynolds, Dr.
Cooper and several others. A salute
was fired over their grave also. ,
Camp Dole, Kalalau Valley,
Friday, July 7th. Matters have be.-n
very quiet about the camp since yes
terday morning. Reports from the
front are to the effect that Kooiau, or
his deadly rifle, has not been seen
since Wednesday. A strict guard is
kept night and day within a short dis
tance of where ho is located to pre
vent him from decamping. Yesterday
morning early the mountain howitzer
was earned up to the brow of a steep
hill which is situated nearly opposite
the stronghold of the lepers. The
place wa shelled, but owing to the
imperfect knowledge of his hiding
place, it was a difficult matter to drop
the shells to advantage. In all nine
teen shells were exploded against the
mountain side and it is thought that
the last shot reached the required
spot. Of course it is only a conjecture
and for fear of losing another life no
one has been sent to investigate.
Larsen has made up his mind to re
sort to strategy, and this morning
three natives were sent to the top of
the Waimea pass, under the guard of
two soldiers. The idea is to have the
guards at the pass send to Waimea for
some giant powder, or some other
strong explosive. After securing the
same, the natives wili guide the sol
diers to a spot immediately over where
Kooiau is hidden and then blow him
to pieces. At this writing the plan
mentioned seems to be the only possi
ble one as our men cannot reach him
without a further loss of life.
This programme will ba carried out
tomorrow, it is expected.
Os Board the Steamer Iwalani,
Saturday A. M., July 8th : Word was
received last night that the giant
powder could not be obtained by the
guards at the Waimea pass. This
fact is not such a great disappoint
ment, as, in the opinion of the guards,
it would be impossible to reach a posi
tion immediately over the outlaw,
which would be necessary to use the
explosive to advantage. While the
men were returning to camp, and
while they were on the Waimea trail,
they saw the hiding-place of Kooiau.
They say that the small ledge on
which he stands holds a large boulder
which offers him ample protection
from bullets fired directly opposite his
place. Behind the rock is a small
cave, which is estimated to be about 10
feet deep. The leper, with his wife
and child, live in this. Another pro
position was advanced last evening as
a means of capturing the murderer.
It is, in brief, to cut a new trail on the
side of the mountain to a point where
his stronghold can be commanded.
It would be a little hard work to ac
complish this, but, in the opinion of
the best men in the camp, it is a good
plan, and one that will win if it is
carried out.
The other day the soldiers found
two Winchester rifles buried under
some rocks near one of Koolau's de
serted camps. These were brought to
camp, and last night one of the Wai
mea guards identified them as belong
ing to the Stolz party A large pistol
is the only weapon missing now. The
natives ay that Kooiau has it.
C. B. Reynolds leaves for Hanalei
this morning on the Iwalani. He is
accompanied by six members of Com
pany "A." The party will visit a val
ley near the place mentioned, to cap
ture ten Ieper3 who, it is reported,
make their headquarters there. Two
lepers are said to be in Hanalei. They
deserted Kalalau previous to the shoot
ing of Stolz. They are said to be rel
atives of Officer Peter Nowleln and,
iu the opinion of Larsen, he has been
attempting to shield them from the
authorities.
Larsen leaye3 for Mana this morn
ing to look up Koolau's relations. If
he finds them they will be taken to
the valley to act as decoys to draw the
outlaw from his hiding place.
Luther Wilcox returns to Honolulu
on the steamer. Everybody regrets
his departure, as he Is more than pleas
ant company.
Larsen informed me this morning
that he had written to the government
to send a steamer either next Monday
or Tuesday to convey the expedition
back to Honolulu. K very body about
camp is well. We return one member
of Company "A" to Honolulu. His
name is Johnson, ana he was lnjureu

son was shot, since which time he has

Having now the much desired
space for the proper display of my
splendid stock of FIXE GOODS,
and late additions thereto, it is a
pleasure to see you in and sliow the
arrangement of the different lines,
as compared to my old and cramp
ed quarters; it is simply paradise.
My stock of staple and new Goods
will from noiu on, be found com
plete, and any suggestion in the
ivay of new fads xolJl be eagerly
attended to.
As a starter on new Goods, my
very fine line of Leather Parses and
Card Case combinations are well
worth your attention.
Leathers in all the delicate colors
of dress materials, .mounted in fine
sterling silver in intricate designs
as well as the plain; they must be
appreciated by those tcho have al
ways been obliged to send away for
these goods. Carrying in this line
the products of the leading makers
of fine Leathers in the United
States, it is possible for me to offer
you a choice assortment from the
comparatively inexpensive to that
which takes dollars to buy.
The Gentleman's full dress Card
Case, seems to br the correct thing
from the way they caught on just
large enough to fit the proper pock
et. Another little thing on which
sales are rapidly increasing, the
dainty little individual Butter
Spreader in sterling silver and
plate, probably the best and most
useful little conciet ever thought of
in connection with the table service.
Remaining on the table throughout
the meal, they entirely lake the
place of the desert knife for spread

and giving the other instrument a
chance to be used for what it was
intended. To those of refined tastes
and a sense of the fitting, very little
need be said in their favor. It will
not be long before every table in
Honolulu will be supplied with these
very necessary little articles.
