Live Wire
Kills Man

On Monday morning last a Japa-
nese who was working on the Puu-
kolii tunnel contract, near Kama
pail, was instantly killed when he
touched a live wire" belonging to
the Lahaina Electric Company.
ltappears that the white foreman,
in charge of the tunnel work, had,
time after time, warned the work
men OF the danger of going too close
to the wires. Some of the men
have had narrow escapes, but that
was not sufficient to keep the others
away.
The deceased man was working
in the tunnel and, for some reason,
walked across to one side. In doing
so he stumbled and, putting out his
hand, touched the wire that was
charged with a very high voltage.
The next instant the man fell to
the ground dead. His body could
not be removed till the current had
been cut off. Several other Japa-
nese were in the vicinity at the time,
and they turned in the alarm. An
inquest was held and a verdict of
accidental death was returned.

him to the public eye was the stop

which was led by the late Bob Will

seeds Of revolution. With his sup
porters, or some of them, he located

J. N. S. Williams is back from
his trip to England and the United
States, and he will now settle in
Honolulu, where he has a lot of
work to do on the public utility

have already met several times and
many matters have been attended
to.
Mr.. Williams was away six
months in all and, of that time,
spent four months in England.
The party, consisting of Mr.. and
Mrs. Williams and their two sons,
toured all over England and took
i'll ali the sights. One day they
saw a street gathering in which
Miss Sylvia Pankhurst was a prom

taken of to jail.

The Chinese aviator has ordered
a very powerful engine from the
mainland and it is intented for his
hydroaeroplane. When the engine
is fitted, it is Gums intention to

Cfickard's house few hours be-
fore the girl absconded.
The girls story is that she was
called by telephone, and that she
was told to beat it" down to
Kahului where an auto would be
waiting for her. She did so, over
the sandhills, and there met her
future husband-F Ferguson, junior
A hurried trip to Makawao was
taken and, after a marriage license
was obtained, the pair were mar
ried.
The bridegroom, who looks to
be about fifteen years of age, and
whose full name is Thomas Dewey
Ferguson, is very small lad and
is said to be still attending school.
The girl is said to be fifteen years
of age also, and there is talk of
questioning the minister who mar
ried them as to how he reconciled
himself to the idea that the children
were of a marriageable age.
The girl, in the judges private
office, told of affairs that show her
to be hardly an unsophisticated
maiden. Judge Kingsbury had no
hesitation in consigning her to the
Reform School in Honolulu. She
left on Saturday afternoon for Ho-
nofulu and is now at the institution
for girls.
The young husband is spending
all his time at the court with his
father, and is waiting with interest
the decision of the court as. to
whether the attorney for the Fer
guson family can get the girl out
of the reform school or not.
Ferguson is still facing a charge
of contempt of court.

GIRL ABSC0NDS To MARRY
YOUNG BOY AT MAKAWAO
Ferguson Family Still In LimeIight Ward Of Court
Runs Away, Weds and Is Sent to Reform
School In Honolulu.

I. w. Ferguson, of Haiku, is
still in the limelight, and his latest
affair is one which will not be
settled till Monday next. There
is question of law involved, and
the court will give a decision the
day after tomorrow. It all revolves
around the case that was decided
some time ago, when Ferguson
was deprived of the custody of a
young Porto Rican girl, and when
the court decided to put the girl
in the custody of Miss Ida Crick-
ard, as a probation officer.
On Monday last the Porto Rican
girl disappeared from Miss Crick-
ards home, and was later on dis
covered at Paia, where she and a
son of Ferguson were caught while
riding in an automobile. The police
officers were astounded at being
told that the girl and boy had been
married that afternoon at Makawao.
The marriage proposition FATHER
f1oored the police for a while, but
the pair of children were brought
to the police station. Ferguson
senior was, later on, also brought
along to complete the party. He
was arrested and charged with
abduction. Later on, after spend
ing night in Jail, he was released
on bail of $3.50. On Thursday
Ferguson was released, as the child
stealing charge was dropped by
the county attorney.
The story of Ferguson senior is
that he did not entice the girl to
leave the home of Miss Crickard.
He declares that his hands are
clean as regards that escapade. |
However, it is stated by the police
that he was seen in front of Miss

Tom Gum Is To Fly At kahuui Will Carry Mail
From Seaport To Wauku Sensational
Features Are Promised.

On November first and second
Maui will have its first aviation
meet and Tom Gum, the Chinese
aviator, will be the daredevil who
will do the flying. Arrangements
are being made for the meet and the
bi-plane that Gum is to use will
be here next week. The meet will be
held at Kahului, and should attract
thousands of spectators from all over
Maui. a
The plan is to have Gum do
stunts at Kahului and then, after
wards, fly to Wailuku and back
to his starting point. He will, for
the time being, act as mail carrier,
and postcards bearing the Kahului
post mark will be delivered in a
sack at the Wailuku post office. The
daring aviator will take the sack on
board at Kahului, and will drop it
at the Wailuku post office. These
cards will serve as souvenirs of the
first airship flight on, or above,
Maui.
Gum will use the samer aeroplane
that he used at Leilehua. He has
had new propeller put in and the
engine is also a new one. The
aeroplane is for the air alone, and
has no connection with the hydro

Watson Is
Out Again

f. A. Watson, who was serving
one year in Jail for failing to sup
port his three children, as ordered
by the court, is again free. He has
promised to pay SIS per month to
his children, for one year, and has
given bond guaranteeing that the
money will be paid.
The case has attracted much at
tention on Maui and in Honolulu,
where Watson is known. Some
time ago he was brought from Oahu
and had to appear before Judge
Kingsbury and explain why he had
failed to pay the sum of $50 per
month in support of his three chill
dren. He could give no satisfactory
reason then and was sentenced to
one year in Jail and a fine of $500.
Judge Kingsbury was petitioned
by Attorney Bevins, on account of
Honolulu law firm, to mitigate the
sentence that had been inflicted on
Watson. Upon appearing in court,
Watson declared that he was with
out any means and, therefore the
court reduced the maintenance or
der to SIS per month.

Kahului beat Stars, score, 3 to |.

On Sunday last-it seems like
writing of last year-the Maui base
ball situation was changed some by
the defeat of the Stars by the Ka-
huluis. The teams have now one
game each, and the championship
will be decided tomorrow when the
final game of the three will be play

are sanguine and declare that they

last Sunday. The Kahuluis are, of
course, also feeling good, and they
think they can take home the bacon.
May the better team win the final
game and the championship.

Sunday when the umpire called,

and the fact that crime was always
punished, would deter others from
going wrong.
The Judge also spoke of the work
of attorneys in cases in which they
knew that their clients were guilty.
loo many attorneys go too far in
the defense of their clients. They
wink at perjury, sometimes, and do
things that should not be done. 1t

that his client gets fair trial and
that his legal rights are protected.

are-he is on the side OF the law
