[This is the article referred to by Mrs. Maule in the previous post. It is hard to read because the right side of the page this appears on fell into shadow because of the binding of the newspaper into a book. Interestingly, there is another similar article that appears right above this one that is attributed to another person from Waihee, S. Hookano.]
