   INCIDENTS
   
   99-731 - Kaloko-Honokohau NHP (HI) - Follow-up: Murder of Park Ranger
   
   According to today's edition of the Honolulu Advertiser, an unnamed 
   man was arrested last night in connection with the murder of ranger 
   Steve Makuakane-Jarrell.  A police spokesman in Kona said that the 
   man was arrested around 7 p.m. and was being questioned by FBI 
   agents. Neither the police nor the FBI offered any elaboration. The 
   FBI and National Park Service yesterday offered a reward of $41,000 
   (up from $10,000) for information leading to an arrest, but there's 
   no indication that there was a linkage between the two in last 
   night's arrest. Additional details will be provided as soon as they 
   are received. Services for Steve will be held tomorrow at the Church 
   of the Holy Apostles at 1407 Kapiolani Street in Hilo. Steve's wife, 
   JoniMae, has asked that NPS employees wear Class A summer uniforms.  
   The exact time of the service has not yet been determined. There may 
   also be another service at Dodo Mortuary in Hilo on Saturday. Final 
   details will be transmitted as soon as they are received. An account 
   has been set up to receive donations for Steve's family. Checks 
   should be made out to J.M.M.-J. and sent to Hawaii 
   Natural History Association, PO Box 74, Hawaii National Park, HI 
   96718. Previous editions of the Morning Report erroneously reported 
   that J.M.M.-J. worked at Pu'uhonua o Honaunau NHP; she's a ranger at 
   Puukohola Heiau NHS, which is on the coast of Hawaii north of 
   Kaloko-Honokohau.  [The Honolulu Advertiser, 12/15; Jim Martin, HAVO,
