Man Shoots His
Wife Perhaps
Fatally.

Hilo and vicinity Supt. of Public
Works Holloway has given road i'm
provements and other public works
careful consideration. Yesterday he.
looked over the proposed site for the.
Hilo Jail on the Kaumana road above.
town, and later In the evening met the
Board of Trade concerning this and
other matters. He says the appropri--
alton of $4,000 is insufficient for the
construction of n Jail at this location.
He estimates the cost on the proposed
site to be $4,000 on the scale outlined
by Sheriff Andrews, and recommends,
the utilization of the present appropri-
alton in the construction of substantial
jail quarters on Jail Street at it's pres
| ent location.
AS to filling in the Park, the bids re-
| ceived were found to be entirely too
high, considering the proximity of ma
| terial which can be taken from the
beach. He therefore proposes to read
vertise for bids, to be filed with his
Office on or before June %. The con-
tract will be let Immediately before July
l, otherwise the $1,000 appropriation will
lapse.
| He has selected F. B. McStocker
| chairman, II. j. Lyman and NJ. Porter
members of the Olaa and Puma Road
Board. For the Hilo Board, he has al
| ready appointed John T. Moir chair
| man, and Geo. Ross of Hakalau. For
| the third member he was undecided as;
| between F. Brughelli, E. N. Holmes and
| the reappointment of Sheriff Andrews.
The Sheriff said he did not care to seek
| more trouble than he meets in the rou--
tine duties of his office. and it is prob
able he will not be chosen.
ATTEMPTED MURDER.
Shortly after six o'clock on Tuesday
night there was hurry-up call at the
police station, the Herald says, and the
men on duty We're surprised to learn
that Mike Lehuenui one of the Oldest
drivers in the employ of the Volcano.
Stables Co., had attempted to kill his
wife by shooting her with a pistol.
Captain Rowland and two officers
proceeded to the plare at Kukuau where.
the shooting had taken place. The
wounded woman was found in the.
dwelling back of Dan Kaihenuis house,
and from persons who had gathered It
was learned that Mike and his wife
had disagreement at noon time, jeal-
ousy being the cause. He returned
home just before six o'clock and started
to renew the fight when his wife ran
out of the House. She was followed
by her husband, who fired a shot from
his revolver which missed her. The
woman stopped and Mike grabbed her
and fired another shot which took eff
feet in her abdomen, the ball passing
through and lodging in the back. Once
more he fired, the bullet taking effect
in her shoulder blade. She fell to the
ground and Mike ran away stopping to,
rest when he reached the one mile post
and then starting to town.
Near the residence of ]. S. Canario on
Volcano Street he threw away his re-
Volver and a five dollar gold piece and
further along near the bridge he threw
away some silver coin. He stopped
when he reached the Foreign church
and in the midst of a heavy rain storm
sat down on the terrace. While Lehue-
nui was sitting there Rufus Lyman
passed and asked what the matter was.
Mike answered that he had had trouble
with his wife. Young Lyman then told
him he was wanted at the station house.
The man made no resistance and walk
ed along the street with Lyman until
they met policeman. At the station
Mike was found to be under the in
fiuence of liquor. He made a statement
and remarked that If he had killed his.
wife, he would have to die, too.
At hearing before Judge Hapai the.
prisoner was remanded until the Goth
inst. The wife is in the hospital lying
at the point of death and there is little
hope of her recovery The prisoner has
been working for the stables for num-
Der of years except for about n year
when he drove wagon for Lewis &
Co., the Honolulu grocers.
