Word has been brought to Honolulu
of a murder at Hakalau, Hawaii. The
murder was committed last Sunday. A
native was killed by another native, his
son-in-law, who struck his victim on
the head with piece of scantling
until the brains oozed through the
skull. The murderer was drunk when
the deed was committed. The next
morning he denied killing his father-in-
law After a preliminary trial the
murderer was committed to the Hilo
Jail and will likely be brought to Homo
lulu by the Rinan next Sunday morn
ing. The difficulty which caused the
killing originated in the son-in-law beat
ing his wife. The father of the woman
interferred and was killed. All the
parties are reported to have been
drinking
