CHINESE METHODS.
How the MongoIians Set the Law at
Defiance.
The Victim and Witnesses of a Muir
derous Assault Intimfdated by a
Secret Tribunal.

| About week ago a Chinaman named
Fong All Hong was shot in the thigh by
one of his countrymen on 1 street. Itwas
coldblooded attempt at murder A
| Chinaman was arrested a few minutes
after the shooting, and the wounded man
/ identified him as the would-be assassin,
and repeatedly declared afterward that he
was the man.
A few days afterward it was rumored
that the Chinese companies to which the
men belonged were holding meetings
with view to settling the matter. This
thing of settling cases means, among
rival Chinese companies, the payment of
a certain sum of money as indemnity.
That the case was effectually ''settled"
became apparent yesterday when the
| name of Ah Linn was called in the Police
| Court on charge of assault to murder.
1t was announced by the City Attorney
that the wounded man had refused to
swear to a complaint against the pris-
oner, and denied that he was the man
who shot him. 1t was further stated that
| there was 10 testimony on which to
! prosecute All Linn. On this showing the
court ordered the case stricken from the
calendar.
! Doubtless there was. nothing else left
! for the court to do, under the circum-
| stances, but discharge the prisoner; but
| the question arises, how long are the
| laws of the land to be thus trampled upon
| by these Chinese secret organizations and
their chattels?
Here is a case of deliberate attempt at
murder having been made upon a
! crowded public thoroughfare, and one
| that came near being successful. The
| wounded man identities his would-be
! slayer, but is forced by some secret power
| that sets the laws at defiance to refuse to
testify against him. There were perhaps
| q dozen witnesses to the crime, but the
same potent influence deters them from
| coming forward and testifying in the in
| terest of justice. They know they would
be murdered if they did so, hence the
| customary NO sabbee ~ from one end of
! Chinatown to the other whenever a
Chinaman is asked if he witnessed the
| shooting.
Louisiana may have her terrible Malta
to deal with, but more crimes have been
committed and justice has been more fre-
! quently trampled upon by the Chinese
| Companies in California and their high
! binder adjuncts than ever the Malta
| dreamed of.

were George A. Ayers, of the high art

gentlemen, who have enjoyed unusual
opportunities for inspecting the finest art
works in the country, declare that no
where else in the United States land of
course not elsewhere), can anything be
found in the photograph line to compare
with this class of work. Aside from the
rare skill employed in the production OF
these largest sized direct photographs,
much is due to the climatic conditions,
for such results are possible in very few
parts of the world.
The pictures are TO be artistically
draped-that of the deceased Governor in
black-and will give way in a few days
to portraits of Mrs. Culver and both her

scholarships furnished by the public
spirit of the Ladies' Association.
The judgment of the visitors yesterday
was freely expressed, and was in conso-
nance with that of the night before, that
the school has never made so meritorious
an exhibition, and that the school is an
institution of which Sacramento should
be proud, and which it should maintain.

by hi son, q young man about y years
of age, who formerly worked for J. A.
Parker, the real estate dealer The old
man was knocked down and battered
about the face until his countenance was
badly cut and he was completely covered
with blood.
Several persons tried to interfere, but
to no purpose, and the young man kept
hammering away until police whistle
was blown.
Frightened at the thought of being ar
rested, he jumped up and ran away with
a friend, who, it is said, also took part
in the fight against the father.
Fenton refused to swear to a complaint
when officer Maley talked with him
about the matter. He said it wasl no.
body's affair excepting his own, and he
wanted no arrests made
If some one of those who saw the affair
would prefer charge, there would be
plenty of evidence to convict the unnat-
ural son of battery.

The Former Does some Loud Talking,
and Gets Arrested.
Officer Rider happened to pass along
street yesterday afternoon just as an
animated, if not exciting scene occurred
between a man and woman. The latter,
however, seemed to be making all the
noise, and was arrested for disturbing
the pease.
1t appears that the woman's name was
Cummings, and that she has daughter
who is employed as a domestic in the
family OF w. III. Leeman, a Yolo ranch
man. The mother wanted the girl to
leave her present home and go with her
self and the father, who wished to remove
to some other locality.
The girl refused to go with her parents,
for reasons which she believes to be good
ones, and when her mother met Leeman
yesterday she made scene by demand
ing her daughter. Leeman at first told
the girl to go if she wished to, but after
ward determined to shield her from her
parents.
