The sad news was spread very
rapidly last evening all over the
town, and words Of sympathy and
regret were heard on all sides. Kau-
liza died q quiet death. The great
political fighter, the eloquent and
aggressive attorney passed away
without struggle or suffsrings, in
his bed where he had gone to read
aud rest in the afternoon. He was
down town early yesterday morning,
and returned home shortly after 8
O'Clock in the best OF health aud
spirits. He dressed and accom-
panied the members OF the family
to Kaumakapili church, OF which he
was a member. Alter service the
family returned, home and all ate
luncheon together. After the meal
the family separated. Mr.. Kaulia
lay down to read from a book of
Hawaiian stories. His wife went
out for visit to her mother, who
resides in Nuuanu valley and other
members Of the family read or took
nap.
Mrs. Kaulia returned home about
1880 o'clock aud fouud
her husband still asleep, as she sup
posed. She tried to arouse him but
failed and young Kaulia, who re-
turned at that time went across to
the church for Judge Asa Kaulis,
the adopted father of the dead man.
There was no evidence of breathing
but the body was still warm. A
hack was summoned and dispatched
for a phyeician. The neigbbors
came in and they rubbed the body
to restore circulation, keeping this
up for several hours, but without
result. 1t was not until after 10
o'clock that physician could be
found and he could not find any in
dication Of lie. Deputy Sheriff
Chilliugworth took charge of the
body then aud impaneled a jury,
aud after it had viewed the body
sent it to the morgue for examina
ton. Tbs jury is composed of the
following, all old friends Of the
dead; G. W. Kualaku, Joseph Ka-
lana, John Noble, John Kusaua,
William Olepau and Joseph Fern.
An autopsy was helix which dis
closed the existence OF heart disease
OF long standing. DR.. Mcdonald
had charge OF the examination and
reported that the disease had firm
hold upon the vital organ.
