During Sunday morning, Sep
tember 29th, a suicide and proba-
BILE murder took place at Kamaole,
Kula. d. B. Kamaukoli, native
60 years old was found dead, hang
ing by a rope attached to a rafter
of one of the rooms of his house.
On the floor of an adjoining ap-
partment the lifeless body of
Mileka, an Hawaiian woman Of
some forty years, was also discOv-
cred. Her face was much swollen
and her throat bore marks of stran-
gulation. Both were most care
fully dressed, the man IN black
with a red handkerchief covering
his head, and the woman in spot
less white. There's a romance
connected with the case. The
pair had agreed to marry on the
day before, the 2Sth, but instead of
a wedding ceremony a quarrel oc-
Cured, arising from the discovery
by Mileka that Kamaukoli had
recently made over his property to
his two daughters. They parted
in anger and the next morning
were found dead. The coroner's
jury failed to agree upon a verdict
concerning the death Of the woman.

During Friday evening, the 4th
instant, public meeting of Maui
citizens was held at Wailuku court
house. The substance of the busi-
ness transacted was the indorse-
ment of q resolution recently passed

Apropos of tar and feathers, some
fourteen or fifteen years ago a Ger
man was taken from the Wailuku
hotel in the "wild waste and mid
die of tie night and given a black
and feathery coat. It was said that
some of the most prominent citizens
of Wailuku were concerned in the
matter, and felt justified owing to
the horrible nature of the crime
against the Teuton.
