The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., 8-24-1915
ISHIYAMA, HIDEO
JAPANESE BOY KILLED BY AUTO.  A Japanese boy named Hideo Ishiyama, aged 7, was run 
over by an automobile on the Kapaia Road at the outskirts of Lihue about 9:30 
Wednesday morning and died before the hospital was reached. The car belongs to K. 
C. Ahana and was being driven by one Tai Sam. There were six passengers aboard, 
including the driver. The party had just started from the Lihue Coffee Shop, going 
toward Kapaia, when the machine approached a waiting auto on the road and a cart 
which it was preparing to pass. At that juncture the little fellow rushed out from 
the cane field, among the vehicles, dodged around the cart and waiting auto, and 
ran into the Ahana machine. When the chauffeur saw the lad, the moving machine was 
only a few feet away -- too close to be stopped, although every effort was made to 
do so. The boy was knocked down and a wheel of the big car passed across his body. 
A police officer was in one of the cars and testified before the coroner's jury, 
as did all of the passengers in the machines. The testimony was all to the same 
general effect, in view of which the jury returned a verdict, the closing sentence 
being as follows:  "It was an unavoidable accident." The car which killed the boy 
had hardly gotten fully underway when the accident occurred and was running at 
about half speed.
