The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., Apr. 27, 1915
AN OLD CHINAMAN HANGS HIMSELF.  Ah Tuck, an old-timer Chinaman, aged 72, living in a

house in the camp at Halehaka, made a rope of strips torn from a flour bag and hung

himself last Friday night. He accomplished his purpose by throwing the improvised 
rope over a rafter of the house and jumping from his bed. The suicide had become 
quite feeble and of late had been unable, it is said, to obtain opium which he 
habitually used. The two circumstances together induced him to take his own life.
The 
old fellow had worked in the past for Grove Farm.
