Two DAYS, Three days almost gone,
"a stiIl no word from Honolulu"
v-as the oft-repeated exclamation Of
many impatient Hiloites, almost
crayed with the strain OF waiting for
the vessel that would bring some It'd
inRs from the headquarters OF the Re
public. Before the close OF the third
day n message came over the tele-
phone line which eAsed the minds Of
the anxious.
The sad news Of the death OF Charles
l.. Carter was indeed q great shock to
his many friends in and around Hilo,
and to his bereaved wife and family
the residents here express their heart
felt sympathy. The universal opin-
ion seems 10 be that those who were
Immediately responsible for his sad
and untimely ending, rs also those
who were connected with shipping
and receiving arms and ammunition
for the revolutiouists, should be dealt
with with the full severity Of the law.
There has been no demonstration In
Hilo CONSEQUENT upon the condition
of affairs In Honolulu, neither before
nor since the late skirmish, but there
was a little trouble at Onomea jail on
Saturday morning, just before the III
nau was telephoned. 4
Sheriff Williams account OF thefat-
frav Is as follows: Between $50 and
, o o'clock Tailor Stark made his usual
rounds to the prison gangs. After
watching the first gang, under Luna
Field, he told Kuhalemauna, dan
perous but lazy criminal, under SEN
fence of five years for house-brsAking,
to work better. He responded with
the use of some foul language, aud
was again ordered to work, when he
made some further remarks. Jailor
Stark then ordered the prisoner to go
to the Jail with Luna Field. Upon
his refusal to 60, Mr.. Stark sent for
Mr., James, luna of the next gang, at
the same time drawing his revolver,
but not cooking 1t % fortunate incl
dent, as it no doubt saved his life).
James Immediately responded, and
when some thirty-five feet from Stark
saw Kahalemauna raise his shovel
and bring it down on Stark's head:
Fortunately, however, 1t glanced OH
and struck on the head and shoulder.
AS he lay on the ground insensible, he
held firm grasp on his revolver. AN.
other prisoner, Kuakahela, struck at
him with pick, the handle Of which
hit Stark on the left arm. Almost at
the same moment James fired, the
bullet striking KRukahela in the back.
Meantime, Kahalemauna had gained
possession of Tailor Stark's revolver,
and was standing over him with the
revolver pointed at Stark's abdomen.
Failing to discharge the revolver
-as he held his thumb against the
hammer and his finger outside the
trigger guard-he applied both hands
outside the trigger guard. Stark was
regaininR consciousness as James ap-
preached, and he cried: "Shoot him
or he will shoot mep' Thereupon,
James fred at Kahalemauna, the
third shot taking effect in his back:
AS he reeled over he again pointed
the pistol at Stark, upon which James
again fired, aiming to kill, but the
bullet just grazed the convicts head.
The other prisoners of the gang took
no part in the fray. The wounded
men were removed to the Jail, and the
Sheriff telephoned for at once. he
Immediately ordered all the prisoners
to the Jail, and, in company with DR..
Williams, he went out. After the
wounds were bandaged the men were
taken to Hilo, where DR.. Williams,
with great difficulty, extracted the
bullet which was deeply imbedded in
Kahalemauna's backbone. He Is do
ing as we'll as can be expected. The
other prisoner only received nesh
wound.
Tailor Stark, although somewhat sore
and stiff, is attending to his duties
Had it not been for the timely arrival
Of Luna James, he would undoubted-
" have been killed.
