A CLEVER CAPTURE.
The Police Break Up One of the Many
Tan Games of Chinatown.


Tan Games of Chinatown.
Sergeant Spillane and Officers Riley, Ross,
Oman and Arlington of the Chinatown
squad made clever capture last night
shortly before 10 o'clock, by bagging six
Chinese, who were indulging in their favor
lite amusement of playing tan. For some
time past the officers have suspected that a
tan game was being run on the west side of
Ross alley, near jackson street, but the
willy Mongolians kept the game so quiet
that it was with considerable difficulty that
they were trapped.
A very clever ruSe was resOrted to by
Officer Ross, who donned the attire of a
Chinese, including the queue, in such a
manner as to pass the sentinel at the door.
He saw the game in full blast, and grabbed
the buttons used in the game before his
identity was discovered. AS soon as they
found out who he was they showed fight
and he was obliged to draw his siX-shOOter
to stand them off. In the meantime the
doors had been locked and barricaded and
the other officers outside were obliged to
break in. The game was bagged, including
the six Chinese IN question, and all the
paraphernalia belonging to it. They we're
taken to the City Prison and locked up.
Some Of their friends soon came to bail
them out, but without success. They will
be arraigned this morning.
