The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., 7-12-1916
HEONG, SETO
ACCIDENTAL SHOT KILLS SCHOOL BOY.  The 14-year-old son of Mon Chong, just home 
from school in Honolulu, was accidently shot in Hanapepe about 7 o'clock Saturday 
night and died three hours later in the Makaweli hospital. The youngster went over 
to the store of Awa and joined a couple of sons of the proprietor in a back room 
of the establishment. While there he noticed a 22 caliber Colt automatic revolver 
under a pillow of the bed and started to pick it up. One of the other boys, 
anticipating his purpose, took the weapon and, as he thought, emptied it of 
cartridges. As is so often the case, however, one remained and a few moments later 
that cartridge was discharged, the bullet entering the abdomen of the little 
fellow. The boy was rushed to the hospital at Makaweli where he was given 
immediate attention by Dr. Dunn. Dr. Waterhouse was also summoned from Koloa, and 
everything possible was done to save life but without avail. Deputy Sheriff 
Crowell of Waimea made a thorough investigation and became convinced that the case 
was one of accident.
