ASSAULTED
SOLDIER FROM TRANSPORT LO-
GAN ATTACKED BY TWO MEN
YESTERDAY.

A brutal assault was committed on a
member of the 18th Cavalry yesterday
afternoon by a couple of his compa-
MONS. one of the asailants was ar
rested by the police but as the trans

unders landing that the men who COM
mitted the assault would be tried by
court martial.
A. L. Martin is the name of the vic
tim of the assault. He is employed as
the baker. c. Platt is one Of the men
who is alleged to have assaulted him.
The other alleged assailant is a SER
geant major. According to the state
ments of the other members of the re-
giment there has been bad feeling on
the part of Platt and the sergeant
major against Martin. Yesterday aft
ternoOn the three men met in Japa-
neSe soda water store on Nuuanu street
near King. A fight ensued in which
Martin was attacked by both of the
other men. Martin was knocked in
the head with a glass and his scalp
severely cut. While he was on the
floor, the other men are alleged to have
jumped on him and kicked him. Some
of the blows of their heels fell on ms
head and others on his body.
Martin had to be sent to the Queens
Hospital to have his wounds dressed.
Both men departed on the transport

the rubbish pile where the fire had ORR
ginated and from. where it had begun
to spread to the lodging houses. Among
the debris was a piece of an awning.
Mkt took this piece of awning as a
clue and made inquiries at Uakata' S
house for the purpose of ascertaining
whether a similar piece of awning had
ever been owned by Nakata. The Of
ficer ascertained that a similar piece
of awning material had been owned

Look Before
You Leap!

TT goes without saying that the wise
l. and successful business man In
tends to apply sound business princi-
Piles to lis every business transaction
whether only few cents or hundreds
Of dollars are involved. This principle
applies to almost every transaction ex-
cept the purchase Of life insurance.
When he has decided to insure he Is
just as liable to buy q poor policy in
an extravagantly managed, reckless
company, as a policy that will protect
his every interest in an economically
managed, conservative company that
has no other intention than to treat
every policy holder fair and square
both in prosperity and adversely.
There is no reason in the world why
every reader Of the Enquirer should not
have absolutely the best policy in the
best company in the world, because I
have demonstrated time and again In
these columns that the Mutual Benefit
is the best company and issues the
best policy to be had. All that Is ne
cessary for you to do in order to pro-
tect your interests when you get ready
to insure Is to call at my Office or
write for proofs. In other words "look
before you leap" do not claim to be
as smart" as some insurance agents,
5ilt have enough gray matter to know
that unless I convince you that my
wares are better for you than are
those of the other fellow will not get
your application.
