THE MAUI NEWS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1912.
With the Police.
Ah Wong, an industrious pake
taro grower of Waihec, was set up
on Tuesday night lust, and it is
alleged was badly beaten by Lin
Fook and nnotlier Chinaman. Ah
Wong's injuries consisted of a
broken arm, broken rib, a half a
dozen cuts in the scalp, la-sides u
few sundry bruises.
It seems Ah Wong had gone to
a ditch to turn on water for hi
taro patches when his assailants set
upon him with clubs and gave him
the beating. When help united in
response to the outcries of Ah
Wong, one of his two assailants was
holding him while the other was
using the club with such telling
effect that Ah Wong had to be taken
to the hospital for repairs. The
worst injury is in the rib as the
broken bone has punctured the
lung. Lin Fook ana his confeder
ate have been arrested and are
charged with the offense.

ousky, a Russian resident of Camp

of his countryman and friend so
effectively that the latter had to be
sent to the .hospital in an uncon

stool, which is simply a fifteen inch
length of 4x4 Nor west capped with

cornered all the flour in sight be
fore his rival store keepers had
stopped bewailing the non-arrival
of the Ka Moi," and woke them
up to the opportunities of the situ
ation by marking his catch from
82.50 to $3.00 a fifty-pound sack of
u. U. flour. And the prices staid
up until the overdue boat could
beat into Kahului when the corner
was broken, but in the mean
tune oiu man uene liau maile a
little money out of it-
