war on the Chinese.

War Lee, son of the celestial kingdom is
the keeper of laundry on Congress street,
opposite the head Of Casco street. Yester-
day afternoon War got into trouble and as
near as could be learned from the by-stand-
ers and the peculiar English of Wars
friends, he got the worst of it. War Lees
appearance would also tend to support this
view of the case. He had received an ugly
cut under his left eye, one of his feet had
apparently been hurt and there were spots
of blood on the floor of the room. After the
fracas the unfortunate Chinaman's friends
and relatives to the number of seven or
eight gathered at his place Of business.
Amid the clamor of their Chinese and poor
English explanations about all that could be
learned was that War Lee did not want to
fight. A gentleman who was near by at the
time said that the affair occurred on the side
walk and in the road. The assailant was a
thick set young fellow and handled the Chi
naman easily.

A Conscience Stricken Thief.

Joseph Logan, a fourteen years old boy,
has been working for Mr.. Isaac Holmes at
Oak Hill, Scarboro. Yesterday Joseph took
the opportunity when the family of Mr.. Will
liam Holmes who also lives at Oak Hill,
were away to enter their house and take a
quantity of silver ware The Portland
police were notified of the theft. At eleven
O'Clock last night, Joseph appeared at the
police station here and gave himself up. He
had walked into town with his plumber, but
his conscience possibly sharpened by fear Of
detection troubled him, and he concluded
that the best thing he could do would be to
return the silver, and he accordingly carried
the forks, watch and thimble he had stolen
to the station. The boy said that his par
