MR. WELLS IMPROVED.
! Monday evening, Inspector of Schools
II. M. Wells of Haiku. met with most
serious accident in Kula gu!ch near
| the Kealahou government school. At
$3.50 o'clock, after inspecting the school
during the day, he set out to make an
| evening call on s. r. Dowdle, whose
residence is situated nearby, high upon
the side of the gulch. The narrow
path from the road leading up along
the PERCEPTIONS side of the little canon
is most dangerous one, especially
after dark.
1t is thought that while ascending
this pathway Mr.. Wells. confused by
the darkness, slipped, fell and rolled
! down the rocky side to the bottom of
| the valley. The depth of the gulch at
| this point Is said to be from go to 100
! feet.
The following afternoon Mr.. Dowdle,
becoming anxious because of several
Inquiries after Mr.. Wells. made a
search and finally found him in u
semi-conscious condition on the floor
of the gulch. Summoning assistance
Mr.. Dowdle had the injured man con-
veyed to the Kealahou school cottage
and on the following day to Paia PLAN
taton hospital, where he has the at
tention of DR.. w. F.. McConkey and
skilful nursing.
He suffered compound fracture of
one of his legs, severe cut on the
head, another on the face and many
bruises. His condition is critical,
though there was a slight improve
ment this morning.

Considerable blank voting by Repub-
Leans was INDUCED In at last election
ut Puunene, Wailuku and other places,
when only two candidates are run
ming, this procedure means voting for
the Home Rule party. The advantage
gained thereby is hard to perceive, for
he Republican ticket-man for man
was the equal Ito say the leasD in
character and ability to that presented

ably did not thoroughly consider what
their action really meant.
