The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., 5-18-1915
DELAPENA, ELIAS
AUTO 313 KILLS CYCLIST ON ROAD.  Elias Delapena, Filipino, aged 20, living at 
Pakala camp near Waimea, is dead as the result of being struck by auto No. 313 
driven by Ganiko Sabura. The young man, accompanied by several others, all on 
bicycles, had left a baseball game at Makaweli park and were riding on the belt 
road. The evidence obtained by the coroner's jury seemed to show that they were 
racing. At any rate, Delapena at the time of the accident was lying upon his 
machine and speeding to the extent that he did not see the oncoming auto and 
plunged headlong into it. The victim of the accident was hurled violently to the 
ground and received such injuries, internal and external, that he died a short 
time later. The jury, in its verdict, completely exonerated the driver of the auto 
and declared that Delapena came to his death as a result of his own carelessness.
