Posse at Bay Waiting For Her to
Die.

A desperate attempt at murder was
reported from Waialua this morning to
the police. At last reports the murder
er was still standing guard over the
body of his intended victim and was
holding a posse Of officers at bay.
Jealousy is supposed to have prompt
ed the crime which will in all proba ability
end in one or more deaths. A naive
man and woman are the parties to the
crime. His name is Kealoha and she
goes by the name OF Maria
At an early hour this morning the
man armed himself with q rifle and
went to the Womans house and shot
her. The wound is thought to be fatal
although nothing has as yet been de-
finitely learned about the affair. The
report of the shot was heard by neigh
bors and the news of the attempted
murder was soon brought to the officers
Deputy Sheriff Andrew Cox notified
Dr. Hubert Wood of the affair and di-
rected him to proceed at once to the
woman's assistance. When Wood
reached the ground and was approach
in~ the porch he was surprised to see
Kealoha come outside and without
warning level the rifle at him and fire.
The bullet passed close to Woods head
and the latter lost no time in retreat
ing.
Wood hurried back and told Fox
about the attempt upon his life. Arm
ed with a warrant for the arrest of the
native and accompanied by a posse
Cox proceeded to the house and called
upon Kealoha to surrender.
Instead of complying Kealoha came
out on the porch and taking careful
aim fired at Cox. second attempt
was made by the infuriated man to Kill
the officer but the murderers ann was
poor and Cox escaped.
In order to prevent the man from es-
Gaping however guards were stationed
about the premises. Kealoha showed nc
disposition to come out however. lie
seemed content to remain by the side
of the woman who had beyond any
doubt aroused his jealousy
For several hours the officers waited
and finally a note was sent out by he-
aloha statir- that there was no use
for them to try and take him. He pro-
posed to remain by the side OF the "o-
man until she died and then he woulo
take his own life. m ,,,
At noon today he was still holdlne
the house against the posse. NO com
-nlete details were reported to the hlgh
sheriff's office here at hour of going tC
press except that the woman was ho'
thought to have died.
The cause for the attempted murue
of the woman is believed by the ofncer'
to have been jealousy. Whether th'
pair had been living together and th'
woman had refused to continue her re
lations with the man is unknown. 49,
IT is feared by the officers that th'
man Kealoha will succeed in holdint
the posse off until after the woman dles
