plantation named manuel Charlis as
ssulted II. +. Engle, the sugar-boiler
who was at the time was acting as
field luna, and seriously injured him
by making long, deep cut in his fore
arm with a hoe. The blade of the in
strument severed the cords OF the arm.
thus causing painful and dangerous
wound.
The story of the ARRAY Is told as fol-
lows: As the man was dilatory about
going TO work. the head luna, F. F..
Baldwin. put his hand on his shoulder
and said, Go along to work" The
Spaniard losing his temper turned
quickly and struck out twice with his
hoe. The head luna parted the first
blow by catching the handle OF the hoe
and the second blow just grazed his
horses tanks. At this moment Mr.. En-
gle rushed to the assistance of Mr..
Baldwin and received the cut on the
arm in the melee. Then Manager ID.
G. Lindsay and others came and the
man was secured. He was arrested,
taken to Wailuku. and will be tried at
MakawaO as soon as the doctor will
permit Mr.. Engle to leave the house.
The seven or eight Spanish laborers
on the plantation Immediately quit
work, as did a like number on both
Hamakuapoko and Spreckelsville plan
tstions when they heard of the arrest.
and they (between twenty and thirty
Spaniards) held frequent meetings dur
ing Tuesday and Wednesday at Paia
to discuss the matter. On Thursday,
it Is reported. that they returned to
work. These Spaniards are not con-
tract laborers.
There Is story current that the
Spaniard was angry with Mr.. Engle Ow-
ing to a discussion concerning the re-
cent Spanish American war. but this Is
highly improbable as the man doesn't
understand word Of English. and Mr..
Engle doesn't speak Spanish.
