Asylum was cleaning out the cell of a
raving maniac named Kahalele, All
Fat, a Chinese Lunatic entered the
cell, and getting within the reach Of
the monster was picked up bodily and
thrown to the floor with such
force as to break his neck
Kahalele was brought from one
of the other islands about ten months
ago, and is so violent that it is neces-
sary to keep him continually chained
to the wall. His strength is so great
that he has already broken three pair
of heavy handouts. The Chinaman,
was soon to be released. The coroner's
inquest was held yesterday afternoon.

flew into the air with the bit in mouth
and touched neither bar or gate AS

Mr. George Wilson, hack driver ha,
sent letter to this Office demanding
that we clear his character from the
odium of a charge of robbery which
was brought against him by a Mr.. AL
bert Schaefer. We decline to do 81

as it was tried, warrants. The forme
statement published in rhe Press as t.
the alleged robbery was substantially il

t lost the money; according to the test
Y mony of the girl Delaney, Of Wilson
and of the natives, the prosecution wa
unable to sustain its case and the de

that the girl and Wilson we're innocen
