WELAN| DIES
At HOSPITAL
PIucky Hawaiian Who Amputated
Own Shattered Hand Sue
cumbs to Wounds.
tFrom Monday 3 Aarer.issr.l

Wclani, the aged Hawaiian who had
the misfortune to hAvo his right hand
blown of, his left hand shattered and
his face badly torn by the explosion Of
stick of giant powder Mt Browns
Landing, near EVA, n woek ago, died
last Thursday night ut tho Queens
Hospital, death being duo directly to
heart failure, but primarily caused by
his terrible wounds. A coroner's jury
sat on the case yesterday and returned
verdict of death by accident.
From the testimony given, it was
shown that Welani, with three Japa>
nese from Eva, had been out fishing,
With one charge OF powder they had
killed nine fish. A little later Welani
lighted the fuse to n second stick, just
as an argument came up about using
charge at the location they happen>
ed to be in. Welani started to argue
with the Japanese, all the while hold
ing the stick with its lighted fuse
Just as he Determined to throw it, the
stick went off and blew his right hand
to tatters. He had forgotten that the
fuse was lighted, and, according to the
| testimony of witnesses, was surprised
when he turned to look ut the stick
in his hand to find tho fuse burning,
At that instant the powder exploded.
The Japanese immediately became
scared Of the consequences and fed,
leaving Welani to look after himself
The old man first of all self-ampR-
tated the remnants of his hand and
wrist and then bound tho stump in =
cloth. For nearly whole Jay no re-
NAMED in his little house near the
beach, until friends came, and they i'm.

station and placed him aboard train

day and was taken to the hospital. Tho
old man displayed wonderful lot Of
courage.

HUTCHINSON PLANTATION
DEAL IS DISCUSSED

Hilo neutrality-suspicious. for the
purchase of the Hutchinson plantation
have been in progress, whereby it was
thought that the agency might be
transferred to Theo. ii. Davies & Co.,
Ltd. Mr.. It. Give Davies, Mr.. G., G.
Kennedy, and Mr.. A. N. Campbell,
representing the Henry Waterhouse
Trust Company, which had the nego>
tiations in hand, visited Hutchinson
less than two weeks ago. The fields,
mill and laborers' cottages were care
fully inspected, and the two Honolulu
men at once returned home.
1t is believed that the price asked
for Hutchinson stock control was $22
share, though it is said that it had
been offered at 500 only short time
previously. Hutchinson and Paauhau
pay about the same rate of dividend,
the par value of the former being $25,
and of Paauhau $50 a share. The mar
ket quotations of the stock are $3.50
for Hutchinson and $50 for the Hama
kua plantation stock. Unless the sell
ing price of Hutchinson, az reported
to have been offered to the Davies
house be lowered, it is hardly thought
that any transaction will take place.

INDIANS CELEBRATE WITH
TAFT INAUGURATION FLAG

Tahlequah, Okla.--August is the
month OF the annual stomp dances
of the Night Hawks, a secret organi-
zation Of full-blood Cherokees, and
this months observance of the rite
will be marked by greater pomp than
ever, for President Taft has given
the Indians the flag that foated over
the White House on Inauguration day
for their permanent gift. This banner
will be holsted at the stomp dance
and the braves will cavort under it
while engaged in initiating new mem
bers into the secrets of the order.
The gift of the flag to the Indians
was made at the request of Represen-
tative C. E. Creager, in whose dis
trlct the Cherokee nation lies.
Many prominent republican clubs
had asked the president to give the
flag to them as recognition of their
services during the national campaign
