Young Mr.. Bailey, whose funeral
took place as above, met his death
by accident at Halawa mill in Kohala
on Monday last. A n2achinist in the
lulu, he was engaged in installing
machinery in the mill His arm caught
at the elbow in the rollers and was so
badly crushed that it had to be imme-
diately amputated. He was also badly
hurt in the side. Twelve hours after
the accident Bailey died from shock
and loss of blood. Had it not been
that a native workman jammed a
piece of wood between the rollers, Bal
ley would have been drawn through
and crushed to a pulp. As it was he
was able to give some direction about
the work in hand before being carried
away from the scene of the accident.
A sister had just time, after the news
Honolulu by wireless, to take
the steamer Kinau for Kohala, but
her brother was dead some time be-
fore she arrived.
