The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., Feb. 15, 1921
AMONA, GEORGE
G. AMONA KILLED BY DYNAMITE.  George Amona, a homesteader and a nephew of Mrs. 
Eliza Anee of Kapaa, died at the Kealia Hospital on Friday morning as the result 
of injuries received from an explosion of dynamite at Anahola on the day previous. 
According to a report of the police, the deceased started out for a fishing trip 
to Anahola on Thursday noon in company with a Japanese boy by the name of Y. Ito, 
and Alapai, another Hawaiian friend. The party separated at the beach, each going 
to a different part to fish. A loud explosion brought Ito and Alapai to the scene 
where they found Amona bleeding from several wounds and with three of the fingers 
of his right hand blown completely off. The injured man was rushed to the Kealia 
Hospital where he died the next day. A coroners' inquest held on Saturday resulted 
in a verdict of accidental death. It is the belief of the police that the deceased 
lighted the stick of dynamite after seeing a school of fishes, but for some 
unknown reason, failed to hurl it away in time, with the result that the dynamite 
exploded in his hands, or very near him, resulting in the fatal injuries. The 
deceased was unmarried, and his only known living relatives are Mrs. Eliza Anee, 
an aunt, and Charles Lewai, a cousin.
