Order to show cause on Application of Executrix to sell real estate. Estate of Ono Iuko, deceased.

JOHNSON, Henry proprietor of the Palace candy and book store on Hotel street, was arrested shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday by Captain Scott, Marshal Hitchcock and Captain Kamae being present. The crime charged against Johnson is that of having committed forgery at Muscatine, Iowa. Sheriff Wyllie of that place arrived by the Australia with extradition papers for the arrest of Johnson on the charge named, which was executed without delay. It was believed the accused would make strenuous resistance against arrest, owing to the supposed magnitude of the crime, but such was not the case. When questioned at police headquarters Johnson admitted he was the party wanted, and would return to the States without contesting the case. From a reliable source it was learned that Johnson was for several years, and up to about a year and a half ago, treasurer of Muscatine County, Iowa, being held in high esteem as a public servant. In his official position Johnson was custodian of immense sums of money. At one time he saw an opportunity to make a fortune by investment of considerable funds. With the supposed consent of one of his bondsmen the treasurer used some $80,000 of money belonging to the county, hoping, as many good men had before and since, to realize profitably thereby and make full restitution. The venture failed and with it was lost the good name of both official and bondsman. Seeing no other alternative, Johnson fled west into Kansas, thence to California and Hawaii. He is said to have carried away none of the money taken from Muscatine County, and landed at San Francisco with but fifty cents in his pocket. Through the sale of his household effects by Mrs. Johnson, $700 being realized, the supposed defaulter was able to reach Honolulu on $200 forwarded by his faithful wife. The remainder is easily told. After being in the islands but a short time, Johnson secured a position on an afternoon paper as collector and solicitor. Strict attention to business soon brought its reward, and the more lucrative work of bookkeeping in the newspaper office was secured. In the meantime Johnson had associated himself in the stationery business as partner of a blind man named Scharf, afterward succeeding to the sole ownership and purchasing later the Palace candy store, both being now conducted by him. Mrs. Johnson arrived here a few months ago and, from the exemplary manner in which her husband had conducted himself since coming to Honolulu, was well received in social and religious circles. The supposed defaulter was known here as Henry Johnson, having dropped William from the name he bore while residing in Iowa. He rendered active support to the Government during the late insurrection as a member of the Citizens Guard, besides taking a prominent part in religious work. Johnson is said to have embezzled over $30,000. He claims the amount to be much less, and that his bondsmen have liquidated the shortage. Political reasons are assigned as the cause for his arrest. A party from Iowa was recently in Honolulu and conversed with Johnson, who, he claims, betrayed his whereabouts for a slight reward. Sheriff Wyllie and his prisoner will leave by the Australia Monday. Mrs. Johnson and son will remain and, assisted by C. H. Ramsey, carry on the business acquired by the husband and father. The arrest was the talk of the town yesterday and created more comment than has been heard in Honolulu for some time.

MOLOKAI --
COLD BLOODED OUTLAW EXECUTED IN HAWAII
Cruel Bandit Pays the Death Penalty for a Hideous Crime
Nervy to the Very Last - He Goes to His Doom Without a Tremor
Assists in Arranging the Harness - Other Murderers Soon to Stand on the Same Trap
Honolulu, Dec. 15, via San Francisco, Dec. 22 - Last Monday morning Noa, the native Molokai outlaw, paid the death penalty for the murder of a Chinese store keeper. The execution took place within the walls of the Oahn prison. Noa died without a perceptible tremor. Half supported by two guards on his journey to the gallows, he stepped with unfaltering step upon the death trap and, straightening up, he stood motionless while his legs were bound with a strap. He showed no fear when the noose was adjusted about his neck but rather assisted the guards by holding his head high. When the clergyman who followed the condemned man up to the scaffold commenced to pray Noa reverently bowed his head. The minister, with eyes closed and hands upraised, had not finished when one of the guards slipped the black cap over the murderer's head. Warden Low, standing in the court yard below, took out his watch. It was the signal. With a rattle and bang the trap fell and an instant after Noa's body hung dangling in mid-air. The crime for which Noa was executed was one of the most brutal and cold blooded murders in the criminal annals of the islands. Noa was the leader of a band of robbers and cut throats who made their homes in the Molokai mountains. For years they had terrorized the neighborhood. Noa would go to the greatest extreme to avenge a real or fancied wrong, cutting out the tongues of his neighbors' cattle, laying death traps for his fellow men in the woods and practicing other like cruelties. On the evening of April 7th, in company with two confederates, he broke into the store of Aauo, an aged Chinese, and terrifying the man out of bed beat out his brains with a stone. Heo Sheo, the store keeper's wife was choked into insensibility and left for dead. The thieves then ransacked the place, carrying off all the valuables and hiding them in the mountains. Noa was betrayed by a relative and captured, but afterwards escaped and the officers had a hard time to recapture him. He was tried here by Judge Carter and sentenced on August 18th last.

SAGATA & YOSHIDA
Swift justice has been visited upon the heads of the Maui murderers. Within the week Sagata and Yoshida have been convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to death. The Lahaina court has broken all records on murder cases, having disposed of three in a week's time. Sagata was charged with the murder of his wife and child and was caught red handed. Yoshida stabbed a Japanese woman to death with a knife and the evidence of his crime was just about as conclusive as that against his fellow countryman. Sagata will be hanged on the last Friday in March, 1898.
