[Found under: “LOCAL NEWS: Honolulu.”]

S. W. B. Kaulainamoku.—One of our newspaper subscription officers, named above, on the evening of this past Friday, while he was peddling his containers of poi at the street corner of Honolulu nei, he saw soldiers heading his way; he quickly called out in a loud voice: “Huli loa!” [“About face!”], and because they paid no attention, he called out again, “Maisi!” [“March!” ?]. The soldiers turned towards him and he was taken to the Prison [Halewai] with his containers of poi over his shoulders. He was released that evening, and on the next Monday, he was tried in military court, and was instructed that should he try it again, he would be punished. O People, this is a strict law in great Countries, when a person calls orders to a soldier without authority while the soldier is on duty.

Mistakenly Shot His Wife with a Gun

Because he mistook his wife to be a robber, Sam Aki, an engineer for the steam engine of the Pioneer Mill in Lahaina, shot his wife by mistake, and the bullet pierced her body although it is believed that she is not facing danger and will escape death.

This shooting by mistake took place this past week. The wife woke up to pull down the window while it was raining, and that is when she was mistaken for a thief, like what is being heard; but to his surprise, it was his own wife.

The woman is twenty-one years old, and they have been married for only seventeen months.
