SERIOUS CUTTING sCRApE.
One Boy Stabs Another with an Or
binary Jack Knife.

David Kui, mere boy, is under ar
rest at the station charged with as
saulting Arthur X. McCalgan with a
knife. The arrest was made in Ka-
palama about II o'clock last night.
McCalgan is in the hospital with a
severe knife wound just above the
heart. He may live, but will have a
hard time of it.
The boys had a squabble near the
Palama end of the car line last night
in which McCalgan knocked Kui
down. When Kui got up asyJapanese
standing by noticed "A knife in his
hand and warned McCalgan. The boys
clinched and in the scuffle Kui stabbed
his friend in the left breast.
While of course the court has not
handled the matter, and evidence to
the contrary may be brought at the
hearing, the boys who were present
seem united in the opinion that wher
Kui went into the fight the SECOND
! time it was with the deliberate inten
ton of cutting McCalgan.
