JAPANESE MURDERED.
♦ BEATEN TO DEATH BY HAWAIIAN S. Honolulu, August -7. The island of Kauai was the scene of a shockingly brutal murder last Sunday afternoon. Half a dozen native Hawaiians from the island steamer Niihau went ashore and got drank, and on their return to the vessel, meeting a Japanese, they set upon him and beat him to death on the roadway. The only provocation appears to be that he had no cigarettes to give them when they asked for some. The victim was beaten with fists and sticks, and at the end one of the natives seized a fence plank and struck the Japanese a blow that laid bin stomach open. The victim was found dead on the road by a countryman, the natives having run away and left him when he lay helpless. Two natives who are supposed to have been leaders in the cowardly attack have been arrested and are charged with murder.
