GRAND MILEI IN CHISArowS.-Last
evening at about sunset, while we were
returning from the gas works, and when
in the center Of Chinatown we met quite
q number Of persons coming down. On
inquiring what was up, we were inform.
ed that the Chinamsn who did the shoot
ing the night previous, ian account OF
which we published in yesterdays is
sue.) was to be arrested, and as he waS
a desperate fellow some fun might be
expected. All the time people kept
pouring down into Chinatown. The Of
fcers, with china George, George
Downie and Andy Peasley, at the head
of the crowd, went from n house to
the other in search Of Sam Wah, the Of
Tending Celestial. Finally, the officers
made a flank movement and went on a
back street, leaving tho most Of the
crowd on Union street. As the officers
and the detectives came up to the door
offs cabin, Sam Wan with pistol in
hand, met them, and in an instant more
the popping Of reyolvers MAS heard in
as rapid succession as though it was
China New Years, and the Celestials
were having a good time. Nine shots
we're fred in all, and in less than the
same number of seconds, Sam Wah was
shot in the abdomen by China George.
George fred all his loads and then gave
leg bail. Sam only shot once, but his
friends put in q few for him. All the
parties concerned were arrested, and in
less than i've minutes there were not
less than a thousand people on the
ground. Union street was filled and
Chinatown was crowded. The Celestials
talked their jargon at once, aud as loud
as they could yell. After the shooting
there was a general stampede among
those taking part in 1t, and as q result
some tall running Was made. Every
bodv was an officer and tried to catch .
Chinaman we saw ome who could not
get a man try to take a woman. Three
in all were arrested, Sam Wah, All Kee
and All Wong. The wounded man was
taken to the Station House and laid on
the floor, where he was undressed by
Capt. Downey. A ball had entered his
abdomen on the left side and come out
on the right side, having gone entirely
through him. DR.. Hitler WAS called and
probed the wound, and found the ball
had run around through the flesh and
had not entered the stomach, making q
kind Of circle. Had it gone straight it
would evidently have been q mortal
wound. All Kee, who is q very smart
fellow and speaks English as well as any
person, was one Of the parties arrested.
He is a ''sport" and a grand rascal.
When found he was slowed away in q
closet and covered with old clothes.
Sam Wah has many friends, from the
fact that his business is kidnapping
IN which seems to be a high call
ing among the Chinese. He is reputed
TO have killed several Of his country
men and bears the general reputation OF
being a hard case, which his countenane
proves c. E. belong is employed for
the defense.
