Waimea Policeman
Sf Shoots WomaiL;And
Commits Suicide
Kalau Kahoonel, a policeman in
Waimea, 35 years of age, committed
sulcido by Bhooting himself through
the head, dying instantly, after ho
had attemptod to kill Mrs. Arthur
Hunt of Waimea by shooting, last
Thursday evening.
According to tho story told tho
polico, Kahoonel called at the Hunt
homo last Wednesday evening afto'r
tho Hunts had retired. Ho knocked
on tho door and when admitted ho
had a revolver in one hand and a
flash light in tho other. Practically
without warning ho oponod fire on
Mrs. Hunt, hitting hor in tho throat
nnd the bullet passod through and
shnttored her Jaw bone on tho
opposite side. Then he turned thu
gun on himself and pulled tho trig
ger. Mrs. Hunt was rushed to tho Wai
mea hospital and Dr. Dunn called,
as Dr. Tuttlo was in Honolulu.
. Temporary insanity is believed
to bo tho caUBO of tho shooting, as
no other motivo is known.
Mrs. Hunt has an oven chance
for recovery unless complications
set in from tho wound in her throat.
It was reported that Kahoonel had
also killed tho woman's husband, but
this rumor is untrue. Mr. Hunt was
not at homo at tho time the accident
happoned.
Mrs. Hunt's vocal organs aro at
looted so that she could not talk

say a few words last night, how
over, and it is thought that thero

Whllo rushing to the hospital
from Makawoli, Dr. Dunn skidded
on tho Pakala turn and damaged hla
car badly. He borrowed a car at
Pakala to finish the trip.

ALL CANDIDATES
MAKING PLANS FOR
BIG ELECTION FIGHT
Tho fact that a real political cam
paign Is on is quite apparent in
all parts of tho territory, especially
on tho Island of Hawaii where all
tho candidates havo started their
attack. Kumulao, McCandlcss and
Mrs. Atcherly have all toured tho
Big Island, telling tho voters there
just wherein they ' were each bet
ter than tho other aspirants to tho
office.
Senator Harry A. Baldwin lias
not done any electioneering yot.
but his many friends and "political
managers on tho various Islands
havo been busy for him. Mr. Bald
win has been kept out of tho cam
paign to date on account of sick
ness, hut it is reported that be is
now recovered and ready for tho
conflict.
A great Interest is being taken
on all the islands in getting tho
voters to register and to reregister
prorating tnoy did not voto at tho
last election. All forces realizo that
they will need overy posslblo voto
and thoy aro doing thoir best to
seo that no ono will bo declared in
eligible on tho big day.
It is generally conceded that the
big contest is between Senator
Baldwin and L. L. McCandiess,
Mrs. Atcherly is not considered a
real contender and Jonah Kumulao
It is thought, lias not a very strong
chance for election.
