The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-02-20

| James hauhane and haoull, two
native detectives, were severely
stabbed last evening while in the
performance of their duty. Their
asSailant, the cook of the bark 5. c.
Allen, was arrested and charged with
assault with a deadly weapon.
The cook, whose name could not be
aScertained, is Spaniard. He had
made offers 10 sell some opium TO the
Chinese steward of the Waialeale,
and the latter informed kaouli of the
matter. Last evening, when he came
off the vessel, which was lying at the
Fish Market wharf, he was followed
by haouli and the informer. At the
corner of Maunakea and King streets,
| haouli attempted 10 arrest the man,
and the informer ran away. The Span
lard drew a long knife and made a vi
ciouS lunge at kaouli. When the latter
saw il, he thought Ii was q pistol, and
called 10 kauhane, who came run
ming to the scene. kauhane caught
the Spaniard from behind, and held
| him, but he kept slaShing ut both
officers, and inflicted some terrible
wounds on them. kauhane at last
oyerpowered him knocked him down,
| and held him while Kaouli tele-
| phoned for more help. When the
| officers arrived, kauhane was almost
| unconscious from loss of blood, but he
was still holding on to his man,
| whom he had beaten around the head
/ until he, too, WAS nearly inSensible.
The numerous Spaniard was taken
/ 10 the Police Station, there he was
found TO have a ragged wound over
his left eye and two scalp wounds.
He waS bleeding profusely and SEEM
ell 10 De unconscious. One of the de-
tectiyes came in, and recognized the
! man IS the cook of the 5. C. Allen,
| and said so. The Spsniard, as soon
As be heard that he was known, sat
up and said that he did not like the
treatment tina. he was receiving.
DR.. Cooper, the police surgeon, was
at once sent for, and dressed the mans
wounds. He said that, although the
cook had been severely beaten, he
was not dangerously wounded, and
would probably be all right in few
days. He also said that the man
seemed 10 him TO be under the influ-
enee of liquor, but that his stupefied
appearance might be due TO the severe
knocks he had received.
kauhane aud kaouli were az once
taken 10 Queens Hospital, where
their wounds were dressed. They
were found 10 be horribly cut, kao-
uli in particular being gashed in a
manner that was simply awful.
He had received q longitudinal
cut in the lower part OF the
the left thigh & inches in length
and 5 inches deep. The flesh had
separated, and the muscles Of the I'M
fortunate mans leg were proruding.
He was also gashed on the left arm
halfway between the elbow and
the shoulder, with I cut y inches long
and about an inch deep. This latter
cut extended through the triceps.
kauhane had received transverse
cut on his right leg inches long and
5 inches deep, which severed the
muscle; he also received another cut |
just above the left knee inches long
snd half inch deep. Besides these |
cuts, both men received great many |
minor gashes, their hands being |
crossed and re-crossed with the keen |
blSde. II will be al least a month |
before the men will be able TO be out. |
Later in the evening, the man gave |
mis- name 10 the police as Joseph Cas-
sires, Spaniard. 4 man who knows /
him, however, said that his name /
was Joseph Cassidro, and that he was
8 Chilean. He is known TO the po-
lice here as smnggler. Several
years ago, he was arrested on the ship |
Ferris ;. Thompson, for smuggling
liquor. Cassidro wrapped himself in
the American flag and defied arrest,
but he was arrested, nevertheless

Of his calibre. II is twelve inches long.
two inches wide al the bilt, and is as
keen as 8 razor. After he was over
powered he threw the knife 10 a ma
tive girl, and asked her TO keep il for
him, but il was afterwards recovered.
The twenty tins of opium that Cas-
sidro had brought ashore, were but
toned up inside his coat. During the
struggle, il fell to the ground, and |
only four tins were recovered. The
lest were probably picked up by Chi
1ese.
Both the officers were in great pain
ast night, but il Is not thought that
heir wounds are dangerous. The cries
II kaouli, while his wounds were being
ewed up, were frightfuI to hear, but
Aauhane stood his pain like stole,
AZ the last reports from the hospital
hey were resting more easily.

members OF the force. He Is the man
