The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., 6-21-1921
ISAWA, ETSUJI
YOUNG JAPANESE KILLED BY AUTO.  E. Isawa, a young Japanese employed by the 
Hawaiian Canneries Company, died at the Kealia Hospital on Friday morning from 
injuries received early that morning as the result of being hit by Ford Car No. 
1430 alleged to have been operated by G. Masada of Hanalei. The accident happened 
opposite the Hop Wo store in Kapaa at about 1:30 AM on Friday morning. According 
to Officer Dan Hano who was only about 50 years away from the scene when the 
accident occurred, the Ford car rounded the turn at a moderate rate of speed and 
just before the end of the turn, its headlight revealed two men in single file, 
walking on the road from the Lihue side of Kapaa, the Ford being on the way to 
Nawiliwili. The first man, who was an elder brother of the victim of the accident, 
just managed to dodge, but his brother was caught by the left fender and knocked 
senseless, the left side of his stomach being struck. The injured man was 
immediately rushed to Dr. Yanagihara who made an examination and then ordered the 
man sent to Dr. Hagood at Kealia Hospital as the case was too serious. He died 
without gaining consciousness, a surgical operation by Drs. Kuhns and Hagood 
having failed to save the man's life. The deceased was 19 years old and came into 
the employ of the Hawaiian Canneries about three weeks ago. A coroner's inquest 
held at the Kapaa Courthouse yesterday afternoon came to the following verdict:  
that the deceased came to his death on the 17th day of June 1921 from being hit by 
a Ford automobile, causing the rupture of the colon (large intestine) contributory 
cause, surgical shock incident to the accident, and the operative procedure.
