A BAD BOY.
Sam Has Heard of Old Wild
West DOinSS.

Sam. a Hawaiian boy, was arrested
yesterday by David Kappa and placed
in the city prison for being highway
man and shooting another boy, late
Saturday night.
Evidently Sam had been reading
"two-penny shockers,' and 'fve-cent
yellOw-backs, for early Saturday
night he played the part of highway
man, holding up young man at the
pistols point, ordering him to throw
up his hands and keep them there I'M
til his pockets were searched There
were no returns from this venture.
Later on that same night the shoot
ing occurred. Back of the See Yup
o'clock or after. The boy Sam, who is
about II, with another lad, Kauhane
Keanu, who is perhaps a year young
err, left the dance and were walking
along an alley which goes in by the
Joss house. Kauhane Keanu was in
the lead. Without any word of quarrel
or of warning, perhaps in a spirit of
mischief, Sam fired his revolver The
bullet struck Kauhane in the back of
the neck, and going through TO the side
lodged under the jaw. DR.. Wayson ex-
tracted the ball. The charge against
the arrested boy is still pending, but
will be entered today, when the condi-
ton of the wounded one is learned. If
Kauhane is not seriously injured, Sam
will be tried for assault with deadly
weapon
