he WAS A BOSS CHINAMAN.
An Indignant Lot OF CeIestfals at KING hts
Landing.

An Ind ignant Lot of CeIestfals ut KING hts
Landing.
The boss system prevailing among the
Chinese is likely to fall into disrepute in
view of recent events. Heretofore it has
been the practice with those employing cool
les for farm or other work to apply to the
boss Chinaman, ami with him all ARA nge-
ments were made. the employer having no
direct dealings with the men. To him also
the wages are paid in lump sum.
That was the way SisSon. Croker s. Co.
have been doing business with a lot of Chi
nese employed by them at Knights Landing.
The faetotum of the gang was one Wang
Gang. On Saturday the Sisson-Crocker
Company sent 500 to Wang by express to
be paid to the Chinese under him. Wang
got the money, but forgot to divide with the
lab0rers. He left the landing without leav-
ing his address, and took the money with
him, whereat there is great Indignation
among the pennileSs Chinese, and if Wang
is caught by them he will probably never
live to be tried by jury of his peers. 1t is
suspected that the embezzler has quietly
skipped northward, and that he will seek
passage by steamer to his native heath at
the first orIunity.-Sacramento Bee, Dec.

Coogsn Acuuitt.d.

Thomas 81. Coogan. accused Of grand
larceny, was acquitted Monday by Police
Judge Joachimsen after careful examina-
ton. Coogan was evidently the victim of a
bad case of mistaken identity. He was
arrested three weeks after larceny had
been committed. In court 1t was shown
positively by the testimony that at the time
OF the theft he was not within miles of
the place where il was committed. He es-
tablished good character for years in this
city by the evidence of many reliable wit
nesses. Coogan is an industrious empl0ye
