The city Of Sendai is a strategic point in
Japan. with a hundred thousand inhabitants.
1t is considered the metropolis of the North. 1t
has 1,500 soldiers in garrison and some 5000
students in its schools. The city is noted for it's
prosressiveness and hospitality TO foreigners,
and yet for its thoroughly Japanese character.
With the exception of two teachers I'm the
government schools. the entire foreign COM
munity in Sendai is made up of Christian
preachers and teachers. From them the city

numerous Christian enterprises in this place are
the two great schools of the German Reformed
Church, the Tohoku Gakuin, for young men.
and the Miyagi 10 Gakko, for young women.
These schools like practically all others in
Japan. are known by other names in America,
which are practically never heard here. These
two schools are more modern and better
equipped than even the government schools It

Gun PLAY
IS SERIOUS
Cowboy Shot by Native
Waterman at
Eva.

A trespassing cowboy, a native, was
Kaeliuli, a Waterman of piece of land
some miles makai of Eva, in the neigh
borhood of BARRIERS Point Both the
wounded man and the shooter were
brought into town last night by Deputy
Sheriff Fernandez, the former going to
the Queens Hospital and the latter to
the police station.
The two had had an argument as to
the rights of the cowboy to trespass
upon the land, the -watchman, an elder
" man of small size, warning the big
cowboy that there would be some
shooting if the latter persisted in at
tempting to pass. The cowboy did per-
sist. with the result that he received
a bullet in the calf of his left Leg
which broke the bone.
The Deputy Sheriff was notified of
the occurrence yesterday morning and
went to the scene. He found the
wounded man in bad shape, there hav-
ing been no opportunity Of doing any
thing for him since the shooting. 1t
was an all days job to bring him to
the Eva station and get him aboard
the train arriving in Honolulu at 1880
p m. His leg is badly swollen and
efforts made last night to extract the
bullet were unsuccessful.
No charge has as yet been laid
against Kaeliuli, he being held at pres
ent for investigation. A revolver with
one discharged shell in the chambers
was found on him and this is being
held as evidence.
