Lihue District Court Notes

About the only case occupying
the attention of the Lihue District
Court last week was an assault and
battery case preferred by some Fill
pino Madre against Mrs. Emilia
Jiminez, the Porto Rican wife of a
Filipino ex-guardsman. Mrs. Emil
liza went awashing or wanted to and
not having running water in her
own yard ventured into the yard of
a neighboring Filipino camp and
commenced her ardous labor.
Having occasion to go back to her
own domicile after more soap or
such, she, upon her return, found
her place at the tap occupied by
complainant. In somewhat force
full language Mrs. Emilia is alleged
to have requested her adversary to
beat it to a hotter climate than our
mundans sphere, which sally natur-
ally was returned with what in polite
society would be frowned upon and
which would be impossible to print,
whereupon Mrs. Emilia proceeded
to avenge the insult offered her with
her fist with the result that the Fill
pino lady was soon put out of ac-
ton. The arrest of Mrs. Emilia
promptly followed and the stage
setting was transferred to the Dis
trict Court room.
His honor upon hearing the cir
cumstances connected with the as
sault decided that defendent Mrs.
Emilia surely had had some provo
cation to slap Mrs. Manila, the
tongue lashing and ephithets used
seemingly being beyond human en-
durance, In view of these facts a
nominal fine of $500 and $1.00
cost of court was imposed by his
honor with the admonition that flu
ture skirmishes of this kind would
be severely frowned upon by the
court.
