PASSES TO THE BEYOND
A stabbing affair, In which a woman
cut up three men so badly that all
had to be taken to the hospital, took
place last night about ten o'clock on
Punchbowl. A native named Kahau
nale is the worst Cut up and It was his
wife Annie that wielded the butcher's
cleaver that did the cutting. The
other wounded men are William Co
elho and Kaulio, friends of the hus
band who interfered to save him from
being murdered.
Kahaunale went home last evening
for supper, being sent out again by
Annie, his wife, to get a gallon of wine
to celebrate payday with. Returning
with the wine and his two friends,
he found his better half gone. He and
his friends then prepared supper for
themselves and drank the wine, finally
setting out to look up the missing mis
tress of the house, locating her at a
neighbor's.
The three returned home, after
which a quarrel started, the husband
beginning to inflict some husbandly
punishment on Annie for her neglect
in hospitality. The woman fought
back, finally seizing the big butcher
knife and slashing her husband across
