The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., Jan. 30, 1917
CHEE, AH KNEW DANG
GIRL IS KILLED ABOVE HANAPEPE.  A little Chinese girl named Ah Knew, aged 12, 
daughter of one Dang Chee, living mauka of Hanapepe, was shot and killed between 4 
and 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon by a Portuguese boy, aged about 18, named Manuel 
Costa, a resident of the Kalaheo district. Costa was sitting down on a hillock 
between two rice patches when three girls came along. While talking with the 
girls, he was handling the gun, which went off, and little Ah Knew dropped. The 
other two girls corroborated the theory that the shooting was accidental. The 
accident was an unusual one, and Deputy Sheriff Crowell of Waimea is making a most 
thorough investigation. As far as has thus been brought out, however, the facts 
are substantially as above stated.
