HOW AIKEN
WAS HURT


ku, just opposite the Chinese stores on
the outskirts of Kahului the car struck
stone. and jumped the track, throw
ing, two of its occupants violently to
| the ground. Mr.. Aiken struck one of
the rails, breaking the knee cap of
his right leg and Mr.. Keeney was
severely bruised. The other two were
not thrown out of the car.
"A special train from Paia and
Spreckelsville which was following di-
rectly behind the OIdsmobile, stopped
at the scene of the accident and bore
Mr.. Aiken to Kahului, where the frac-
ture of the knee pan was set by Drs.
McConkey and Dinegar who FORUM
ately We're aboard the special. Then
the train took the injured man to Pun
meme hospital, where he will be obliged
to remain for six weeks at least.
The stone that did the mischief was
firmly wedged in between the rails at
a switch and was large enough to have
wrecked the train Which was following
the automobile. The query Is how such
"a large stone came to be so firmly
fixed there at such time.
| The occupants Of the car and train
were all free masons bound to a meet
ing which was held later in the even
ing at Castle Hall, Waikiki.
