Hangs Self
Because the price of opium had
advanced until he was no longer
able to earn sufficient money to
satisfy his cravings for the drug,
Ah Ging, a Chinese laborer on the
Wailuku Sugar Company's planta
tion at Waikapu, hanged himself
in an nlgaroba grove between Wai
kapu and Puunene. The suicide
was committed probably on the
15th of April, but the body was
not discovered until last Sundav.
a mouth later. A Japanese bee
man, forced from his course by a
swollen stream, made the gruesome
discovery, and reported it to the
police. When found decomposition
was nearly complete, and it was
only through the hat and coat that
identification was finally establish
ed. Thedeadman vasabout45years
of age. His friends in the Chinese
conimunily state that he had been
despondent over the prohibitive
cost of opium, and have no doubt
that this was the cause of his des
troying himself.
ot Loaded,
s Loser
Herbert Hutchins, a farmer at
Kuhha, last Saturday started his
Japanese, Takahara, to Wailuku
with a wagon load of pineapples to
sell. He also supplied him with
$5 in change. Takahara sold the
pines, all right, but instead of re
turning home he proceeded to cele
brate on the $12.50 proceeds. He
turned the team and wagon over to
a drunken Hawaiian, who drove
them to Paia and there abandoned
them to to their own devices. Ta
kahara finally landed in jail, and
on Monday morning he pleaded
guilty before Judge McKay to em
bezzlement and was fined $40. His
friend paid the fine, but Hutchins
succeeded in getting back but $4.50
of his original investment.

Keanae, came overland to Wailuku
on Wednesday in order to answer

has been ordered to do. He may
be given a chance to purge himself
and obtain his freedom about June

Exceptionally clever is the May
number of the "Oalninn," just is
sued. It is the work of the mem
bers of the Punahou Academy jun
ior class, and bears evidence of a
great amount of pains being spent
upon it. Among the contributors
to this number is a Wailuku girl.
Miss Cleo Case, who tells two hum
orous stories in very good verse.
Goethe supplies the theme for the
first, which is entitled "Schnei
der's Version of Goethe's 'Hermann
und Dorothea,' " but the second is
entirely local in setting, and authen
tic in details. It is entitled "Three
prii Fools," and tells of a comical
April Fool stunt worked with the
assistance of a friendly guardian of
the law, which neatly turned the
tables on three practical jokers.
