A QUEER KIND OF KIDNAPPING
a Chlnaman belonging to the Yung
| Wau 'ompanv, who makes h is head
quarters in Virginia CITY, has been
! engaged for some time past in steal
ing China women from the See Yum
| Company. The n50dus operop.H of his
theft is as follows: He swears out a
warrant for the arrest of some China
woman upon the charge of petit lar
/ ceny. The China woman is arrested
and required to give bonds for her
appearance in Court i'm the sum of
$50. The Chinaman himself goes Sc
curlty for the woman. She leaves
the courtroom in company with him,
and is not seen or heard of afterwards.
Within the past week he kidnapped
one woman in Carson and another in
Reno. The Reno Celestial, who was
thus Summarilv robbed of his com
panion, is inconsolable. as he paid
S4OO for her two weeks ago. Officer
Avery of Reno, having been apprised
OF the Chinanian's transactions. came
up to Virginia City last evening and
arrested him upon charge of perjury.
The matter will be thoroughly sifted.
1t is thought that alter the hinaman
gets possession of the women, he sells
them again into slavery. 1t appears
that right in our midst prevails a
worse system of slavery than African
bondage.
