SAN Francisco, May 9th.-At meeting of
the Health Committee ofthe Board of Super
visors to-day thefollowing communication,
transmitted from the Board of Health, was
read:
SACRAMENTO, April 29 1890.
Dr. James W. Keeaey-DEAR SIR: l hardly
know what TO do about the leper that wrote to
you about some time ago If ! knew when the
Board of Supervisors were in session would
appear personally before them. Our county
(Yolo) has no way of taking care of this patient
and we cannot kill him. We will pay all ex-
penses and must get rid of him. We do not like
to do as sacramento has done with her lepers-
taEe them TO San Francisco and turn them
loose on the public streets. Please urge this
matter upon your Board and l am sure they
Will not iail TO extend this courtesy to our
county. Yours truly, 7. c. SNIDER.
Tie Board OF Health had referred the
letter to the Supervisors for action. The
committee, on motion, decided to answer
Mr.. Snider that San Francisco has no leper
settlement, and cannot create one for the
benefit Of the State-that each county must
take care Of its own lepers, and requesting
the Board Of Health TO inquire as to the
previous residence of lepers found in the
streets, and if it is found that they have
been sent here from the interior, to return
them to the county whence they came.

DIR. Meyer Arrested in Denver on Several
Serious Charges.
CHICAGO, May 9th-A dipatch from
Denver tonight announces the arrest OF
DR.. Meyer and wife on the request of the
Chicago authorities 1t is learned here
that Meyer is wanted for extensive insur-
ance swindles.
He has had sensational career in Chi
cago. Al one tine he was accused of
poisoning patient, Henry Goldman, who
was a well-to-do citizen, the alleged object
being to secure Goidman's money.
Coupled with this was gossip that Meyer
was playing the role of a Lothario TO Gold
mans wife. Following the death of her
husband she married Meyer, but they
soon separated
A woman is now under arrest with
Meyer who is understood to be another
wife-the daughter CT c. G. Dressell, an
aged gentlemah, whose life is alleged to
have been insured in the Germsnia Com
pany of Chicago for 5000. The charge
for which she is arrested consists in having
presented bogus Dressell for examination.
Meyer was the consulting physician of the
Gerriania Company. Since unearthing
the Dressell fraudit is asserted that nun

RIoToUs CHINESE.

Los angeles May be the Scene of Still
More Bloodshed
Los ANGELES, May 9th.-The Chinaman
announced to be fatally shot in riot last
night died this morning. The other
wounded man is in a critical condition.
The Coroner's jury brought in verdict
to- night of death from q gunshot wound,
fired by person or persons unknown
Even more than the usual quiet prevailed
in Chinatown tonight, the principal cause
being the fact that the China theater was
not running.
All Nam, the proprietor of this institu.
ton, has signified his intention of keeping
open as usual, but certain movements on
the part of the enemy, the faction under
Wong Chez, caused him to alter his inten-
ton, and the theater remained closed
The first move on the part of the Wong
Chez faction was signalized by the hois.ing
OF large triangular crimson eolored flag,
OF peculiar design, on mast over the two
story joss-house on Apablaza street early
in the forenoon.
At first it was not known what was the
significance of this signal, but il was finally
ascertained that it was to call a meeting of
the Bing Gupg Tong Society, secretly
formed this week by Wong Chez and his
friends, with the avowed intention of
wiping All Now and his followers from
the face ot the earth. The society num-
bers probably about go Cinnamon, many
of them highbinders.
Letters received by some of All Mow's
friends from San Diego, state that more
than week age a case containing two
dozen forty.five caliber revolvers and a
number of coats of mail, manufactured
after the Oriental custom of many layers of
paper, were shipped from San Diego, con.
signed to the Bing Gung Tong Society in
Les Angeles. 1t was also rumored that
dozen or more highbinders might be ex-
pected in few days.
Acting on this information All Now
closed his place and sent spies in the camp
OF his enemy. The scouts reported that
meeting was in progress and that fully one
hundred and twenty Chinemen were pres
ent. Wong Chez cannot be found tonight
but members of opposing faction claim
that he has left the city, accompanied by
his henchmen, Wong Ding. All Now has
announced that he will run the theater to-
morrow night.
In the meantime the police detail is con-
tinued and the utmost vigilance is main
tanned. Every Chinaman found with a
pistol in his possession has his weapon con-
tlscated and is arrested. Both factions are
equally persistent in their boasts that they
will run the other gang out of the city. and
1t is quite reasonable to suppose that the
trouble is not ye. over.

SEATTLE tWash), May 9sh.-Ser;ous
trouble is feared at the junction of the
Stuyck and White rivers in this county.
Seventy farmers of the upper Puyaliup

engaged in damming up the Stuyck so as
10 divert It's waters into the White river.
A restraining order has been issued
against them, and Deputy Sheriff dis
patched to the scene with instructions to
organize posse to disperse them If neces-
sary.
The action Of the farmers is due to the
water being so high in the Stuyck that it
threatens 70 overflow the banks aud do in
calculab!e damage to the crops.
On the other hand, if the waters Of that
stream are diverted to the White. similar
damage will result to the crops of farmers
having land along that river.
