b.lll team has been sent away to

fields.
Mrs. A. Horner Jr., accompanied

DRIVERS ESCAPE
Calamity Corner near tho Llhue
school house was again the scene of
an accident last Friday.
Two cars, one being Grove Farm
bound, and the other for Koloa,
camo together with a resounding
crash .turning the larger car ovor
in tho ditch. Fortunately no ono
was hurt.
If drivers would use a little moro
discretion and judgment on these
so-called bad turns, these turns
would lose their reputation for bo
ing the scene of accidents.
It is only fair to note that neith
er of the drivers in tho abovo ac
cident was an - oriental.
Tho Kauai Automobile Club has
arranged with Mr. Pugh to havo
this curve marked with a danger
sign. But all tho signs in tho world
will not prevent accidents if auto
mobile drivers refuse to uso com
mon senso and oboy tho rules of
tho road.

ERROR
Four indictments wero quashed In
the fall meeting of tho Circuit court
this morning. All four indictments
wero thrown out due to errors in
tho drawing of the indictment, tho
court holding the county attorney's
office responsible for tho errors.
In tho case of the Territory of
Hawaii vs. Louis Rego, Wm. Rol
lins, attorney for tho defendant,
moved to quash tho indictment, on
tho grounds that the defendant was
indicted for murder, whereas tho
ovidenco in tho Indictment showed
that tho charge should have been
manslaughter. The court sustained
motion and tho defendant was dis
charged .
In the case of the Territory of
Hawaii vs. Paleman Albanto, who
was charged with assault and bat
tery with a weapon obviously and
imminently dangerous td Ufa and
limb, the indictment stated that
the crime was committed In tho
year 1001. Philip Rice, attorney for
the defendant, filed a demurer on
statute limitations. Demurrer was
sustained and tho defendant dis
charged. In the third case, Territory vs.
Claudio Siviliano, with tho samo
charge as above, this indictment al
so stated that tho crime was com
mitted in 1901. Charles Dole, at
torney for the defendant, filed a de
murrer on tho samo grounds. Tho
demurrer was sustained and the de
fendant discharged.
The fourth case, the Territory of
Hawaii vs. Venturo Lablno, on a
statutory offenso .also stated that
tho crime was committed in 1001.
Abo Kalaukou, attorney for tho de
f'eiidant, entered a plea in bar on
tho samo grounds which was sus
tained by tho court and the defend
ant discharged . ,
After he had sustained tho last
plea, Judgo Achi arraigned tho
county attorney for theso palpable
errors in the indictments and said
in part:
"I suggest that tho county attor
ney bo more careful In his future
indictments before they aro pro
sentcd to tho grand jury. It strikes
me that tho county attornoy has
shown a lack of attention in the
discharge of his duties."
All four defendants wero immed
iately re-arrested, tho county attor
ney having anticipated their dis
charge, due to tho errors in Indict
ment. The grand jury has been recalled
and will meot Wednesday morning
at 9:30 for further proceedings in
theso cases.
