that the cars have three speeds
ahead
The cars are handsome in appear
ance and are speedy as well as noted
for hill climbing.
There are more Mitchell ears in
use in California than any other
make.
The Mitchell cars are made by
the Mitchell brothers who for many
years have held an enviable reputa-
ton for wagon and carriage making.
Their reputation extends from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. The Mitchell
automobiles will undoubtedly prove
to he as popular here as ON the
mainland where they have practi-
cally crowded out all competitors aS
a result of their superior material
and unsurpassed workmanship.

opposition paper, and who for II
long time after the declaration of
the strike was guarded by special
police.
Shcba had Il very narrow escape
from death, according to Drs. Judd
and Collins, who are attending to
his case. He was wounded in four
places, but none of the cuts are con-
sidered dangerous. No attempt was
made to stop the bleeding from tn,
wounds, however, and the victim of
the assault lost So much blood that
he was very weak and no one hut
his brother was admitted to see him
after he had been taken to the
Queens Hospital.
The most dangerous wound was
on the right-sidc of the neck. The
cut is two inches deep and an inch
in length, being stab with the
point, which was evidently plunged
in and quickly withdrawn. If it
had been given pull towards the
front it would have severed the in
terror iugular vein and in all pro-
liability death would have resulted.
A stab ON the back of the head,
near the top, cutting through to the
bone, a cut in the dcltoid muscles
of the left shoulder an inch deep
and two inches long and a small
scratch on the ring finger Of the left
hand are the remaining wounds.
None of them are considered dan
gerous and rest and quiet are the
only requisites for complete recovery
according to DR.. Judd, who states
that Sheba will probably he confined
to his bed for about Il week.
Editor Sheba of the Hawaii Shin
po from All accounts, has had good
cause to keep his eyes open for as
saults or even attempted assassina-
ton and soon after the start of the
strike, over two months ago, he was
given police protection, slept at the
Young Hotel and carried gun.
Following precedents in such cases
however, attack came from a most
unexpected source. Mori, to look

Assassination
Attempted
7. MOri Makes Vicious Attach
on Editor Sheba.
HONOLULU, August }. = At
2 O'Clock this afternoon the Queen s
Hospital reported Mr.. Sheba as rest
ing very comfortably, consider
ing, with no alarming develop
ments expected.

Sheba, editor of the Hawaii Shin
po, this morning at TO-: O'Clock,
opposite the store of II. Hamano,
on Smith street, near King, was
stabbed three times, in neck, scalp
and chest. with pocket-knife, by
T. Mori, japanese Interpreter of the
Wailuku court.
Mori had followed Yokogawa,
leader of all agitation on Maui, to
Honolulu, apparently forsaking a
life of quiet to take up the cause of
fanaticism. Last night he attended
council of the Higher wage Asso-
citation leaders and this morning he
attacked Sheba, the japanese who
has all along endeavored to,show the
striking japanese plantation labor
ers the error of their ways.
Was Mori acting on his own res
possibility or is he the chosen agent
to assassinate Sheba?
l intended to punish Sheba for
his being a traitor to the Japanese
in Hawaii" says Mori from behind
the bars, where he is endeavoring to
assume to the attitude of a martyr.
He met Sheba on the street and
asked him what he meant by taking
the stand he has in regard to and
against the higher wage agitation.
Sheba remarked, laughingly, that
Mori was too young to know what
he was taking about and that he
had better get out of the way.
Il will punish you, you traitor"
shouted Mori, or words to that
effect, and drew from his trousers
pocket pen-knife or pocketk knife
he had purchased this very morn
ing, presumably for the purpose,
and opening the larger blade, made
a pass for Sheba's neck, ON the right
side. Shcba attempted to ward off
the blow, but the blade entered the
neck, passing dangerously close tn
the jugular.
They fell and wrestled and three
or four times Mori stabbed Shcba,
once in the neck, again i'm the scalp,
when the point of the blade was
broken on the skull, and Il third
time in the breast.
They writhed and wrestlcd and
turned, and crowd from all dircc-
tions, yelling and imagining every
thing except the fact, approached
on the speed of curiosity and intense
excitement.
Elish j. McCandless, painter, saw
the trouble and descended from his
scaffold. where he was painting an
advertisement, and made for the
struggling pair, separating them and
holding Mori until the police arrived
when Mori was hustled unccre-
moniously to Jail and Sheba was
rushed in the patrol wagon to the
Queens Hospital, nothing being
done to stay the alarming flow OF
blood until he had been deposited
i'm that institution.
Brazenly declaring that he, as q
selfappointed representative of tn,
japanese people of Hawaii, intend.
