The Chinese in British Columbia are
getting along pretty fast, If the nara
ton following, from the New West
minister Columbian, ia fair specimen:
For some time there has been bad
blood between the Chinese railway la
borers and the white foremen about
Maple Ridge. Not long ago two China
men assaulted one of the foremsn while
at work. The foreman laid an infor-
nation before W. J. Harris, ]. p, who
issued sumnonses against the two Chi
namen which he handed 70 q special
constable for execution. The consta-
BILE arrested his men without difficulty.
and proceeded to take them before the
magistrate. The prisoners offered no
resistance until they came tn another
gang of their countrymen working on
the road. The members of this gang
soon began talking loudly and demon
stratively, and the prise ners, fadln9
themselves the objects of sympathy,
began making efforts TO escape. The
constable soon saw that he was IN dan
ger of losing his prisoners, and took
them into the first house he could reach
for safekeepin9. The house "a store)
was soon surrounded, however, by q
bowling mob of Cinnamon holding IN
their hands the implements with which
they had been workin9-axes, shovels,
etc. They declared that unless the
prisoners were released they would scar
the house to pieces and rescue them.
The owner of the house, and another
white man who happened to be there,
became alarmed aud advised the con-
sta BILE to le. the prisoners go or the
house would be wrecked. After consid-
srable persuasion the constable con-
sented, and the two prisoners were 70
leased and at once marched of with
the victorious mob. The magistrate
then applied to the Chinese boss to
have the two prisoners delivered up
within a certain time. When the time
had expired tho Chinese boss informed
the magistrate that the men could not
be found. The magistrate proceeded to
an Indian camp short distance below
Maple Ridge and requested the Indians
to be on the lookout for two Cinnamon
who would probably pass that Gang on
their way down tho river. Shortly at
forwards two Cinnamon did come to
the Indian camp and offered to pay a
good sum to any ono who would take
them down to New Westminster. The
Indians at once made them prisoners,
tied them uD, and sent word to tho
magistrate. MIR. Harris came down to
the camp, organized a court, and fined
the prisoners SIS each. The fines were
paid and tho men went back to Maple
Ridge.
