A RIOT At
PAP AALOA
Head Luna Shore Badly
Hurt.
ATTACKED BY JAPANESE
Tried to Drive Out Strikers and
is Jumped on by a Muir
derous Mob.

HTLO, Hawaii, August 1.-the hllo
papers have the following a serious riot
at Papaaloa on Tuesday of this week re-
suited in a narrow escape of the head
luna, MIR. Harry Shore, and one OF the
under lunas, from a mob of about forty
Infatuated japanese, who refused either
TO go to work or get out OF their camp,
when they were given the choice by the
oVerseer. The latter then called upon the
urGer luna. and they started in to clean
the strikers out OF the camps; but while
they were going from camp to camp the
japanese were collecting their forces,
amt as they entered one of the last camps
the Japs came at them in an angry mob.
They cornered Mr.. Shore and his assist
ant and commenced to assault them with
hoe handles, hoes, and any weapon they
could lay their hands upon.
The two white men fought desperately,
and after very hot struggle they got
away; the luna without scratch, but
MIR. Shore badly cut on the head and
back. He received in fact three cuts up
on the head, one being very serious.
Sheriff Swain was telephoned for, and
on his arrival at Papaaloa swore in
few natives and whites as special police
time the under luna had made for homo
and gotten a rifle. The doctor had also
arrived and having fixed up Shores
wounds had gone to the camp to see II
any Japs were in need of medical aid.
The luna not knowing of this. or of the
nrSroach of Deputy Sheriff Swain. fired
his rifle outside the house where the Japs
were. at which most of them fled for their
lives, dashing through the doors and
windows and making for the cane. Tho
doctor took refuge under a bed.
Thus. unfortunately, a considerable
number of the rioters escaped, though
Mr.. Swain and his force arrived just
about this time and succeeded In captur-
ing twenty-one who were promptly Jug
ged and held for trial, to take place as
soon as Overseer Shore should be well
enough to appear in court.
SWINE IN HILO.
The Tribune has been informed on
what seems good authority that the
Beard of Health regulations relative to
the keeping of swine within the city
limits is a dead letter for the most part,
and that the animal which made Chicago
famous is tenderly received in the tidbits
of the swill barrel and allowed to breed
microbes under the very shadow of the
halls of justice and even In the backwards
of officials themselves. While the police
are raiding ''blind pigs they might also
take a little time to raid those that are
not blind, and II they happen to find
them on their own premises, so much the
better.
A RANCH OF THEIR OWN.
j. r. Wilson will make a trip to the
Coast in the near future, probably leav-
ing about the first of next month with
Mr. Rocker. These gentlemen so for the
purpose of purchasing and stocking a big
ranch and viii henceforth raise their own
stock for export to Hawaii and elsewhere
instead of buying and dividing profits
with the rancher. This course has also
been decided upon in view of the rapid
decrease in quantity of live stock avail
able and the rapidly rising prices
