ON TRAIN ARE FATAL
Death of Woman Recalls Acct
dent of Three Weeks Ago
in Depot.

An accident suffered on August 10
yesterday caused the death of Mrs.
Kela Palani at the Queen IS Hospital,
she having never rallied from the in.
juries she then received. According to
the story told by the conductor of the
train from which she had fallen in the
o. R. & L. depot, she had taken the
11:l5 train for honolulu and just be-
fore it started, found that her kane
had not got on at the same time with
her.
She made a run for the platform and
just as the train started, jumped off.
She held the rail for some time and was
dragged for quite a distance.
An autopsy was held yesterday and
the body taken home on last night s
train by her brother and husband, both
of whom had been brought from the
country by Deputy Sheriff Rose. An
inquest will be held Monday.
only needs a right of way for ditch
and does not need sixty.two acres, it
might better apply merely for a right
of way. 1t was admitted that the OBJ
lection was merely technical, as the
land is worthless to anybody else. The
secretary was instructed to write ia
Mr.. Tenney to the effect that the board
would not act on the application until
it was modified to meet the law.
To Help Hilo Grow.
An application of the Knights OF
Pythias Hall Association, Ltd, of HilC
to be allowed to buy lot on Bridge
street, Hilo, as a site for a hall was
approved Campbell said that anybody
who wanted to improve Hilo ought tC
be given anything he wanted.
Residence Versus Homestead.
A petition of A. Beamer and twenty
eight others of Hilo for the purchase
of lots at Nine Miles Olaa for summer
homes brought forth Trent IS usual OBJ
! lection, as to sell lots for residence
purposes removes them from the home
stead class. He decidedly opposed tht
granting of the petition. Some mem
bers of the board appear to look upoI
homestead as a fetch to be worshiped
and no others need apply, not even j.
they want to purchase lots to live upon
1t was finally decided to have the ap
plicatiOns advertised for elght weeks.
Mistake Made Good.
The application of the Hawaiian
Evangelical Association for the puI
chase of 2490 feet of land on For
, street was read The association OF
fered ten cents a foot for the land
