The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., 11-14-1916
PALAD, DIONICIO
FILIPINO SHOOTS TWO IN HANAPEPE.  Hanapepe was the scene at about 3:30 yesterday 
afternoon of another Filipino murder, and great excitement prevailed in the little 
town the rest of the day and last night. The name of the man killed was Dionicio 
Palad, and the badly wounded party is Agaton. In the Waimea jail is Francisco 
Esquilo who is charged by the police with shooting both men. Sheriff Rice rushed 
to the scene immediately after the shooting and empanelled a coroner's jury to 
inquire into the cause of death of Dionicio. The tragedy occurred in a house next 
to the Japanese school in Hanapepe. It appears that the wife of Francisco Esquilo 
was sent to Honolulu on Saturday, and a rumor was around that Palad and Agaton had 
sent her away. Esquilo called on the two men to know if the story was correct, but 
both disclaimed any knowledge of the disappearance of the woman. It is alleged 
that Esquilo pretended to leave but as a matter of fact stopped outside and heard 
the two men talking together about sending the woman away. It is claimed that 
Esquilo then went to a store in Hanapepe where he purchased a 32-calibre revolver 
and cartridges. Returning to the house, he charged the men with sending his wife 
away, and a fight ensued in which there is a disconnected story of knife play. In 
the melee, Esquilo is alleged to have opened fire. Dionicio Palad was shot twice, 
the last bullet entering the neck and passing upward into the brain, causing 
death. The man Agaton was also shot twice, the first time in the arm and the 
second in the neck. He is in the Waimea hospital. A Filipino officer called 
"Arixona" arrested the alleged murderer and took him to Waimea.
