ASSAULT rY \ CHISANAS.-About
c o'clock last evening a Chinaman came
to the lodging rooms over Pipers
Opera House, principally occupied by
employes OF the theater, and after
looking about some little time encoun-
tered a lady ledger whom he attempted
to grasp by the throat, at the same time
drawing n knife and saying, give me
money or me kill you" b IN
ESCAPED and ran down TO the sidewalk
in front, where Jack Lee, the well
known circus rider and tumbler being
told what was the matter went up stairs
and elected the aforesaid piratical Chi

go kicked down stairs, instead OF a v
ing his bill paid.
