ANOTHER MURDER.
A Chinese Highlander Shot in
Cum Cook Alley.

The war between the Chinese highlander
tongs broke out again yesterday afternoon
about 4 80 o'clock and resulted In the body
OF an unknown dead Chinaman occupying
a slab in the Morgue awaiting Identification.
The shooting took place on Cum Cook
alley, off jackson street, in Chinatown, and
all that the police know about his death IS
hearing three pistol shots discharged see
ing man run out Of the alley, stagger
down Jackson street and fall unconscious
in front Of the old Globe Hotel. He was
found to have been shot twice from behind,
the bullets passing through the body aud
coming out IN front, one above the heart
and one near the left shoulder. The
wounded man was taken To the Receiving
Hospital, but died just as he was placed on
the operating table.
The Chinatown officers found a large
sized new Colts revolver with three cham
bers discharged and two loaded. lying
about the middle OF the alley, where it
probably had b en- thrown By the shooter
A bullet was found fdttened out against the
wall in the alley, thus accounting for the
third shot. Nothing by which the deceased
could be identified was found Oh him when
searched by the Coroner.
Since the recent arrests Of many Chinese
for yagraEcy none Of them carry their usual
cards Of membership to the different high
binder tongs. The police entertain no
hopes Of arresting the murderer, as none Of
the Chinese possibly interested in the mat
ter will give them any Information. There
is every prospect that the murderer will
never he punished for his crime.
II is believed that the deceased Is high
binder, and that he WAS killed by some as
sassin from rival tong.
After an exceedingly long and arduous
investigation Detectives Cox and GlenaOn
asceTtained this morning beyond any reas-
enable doubt that the murdered China
mans name is Lee All Sing aud that he
was member Of the Kong Chow Company
Zone Of the Six Chinese Companies) and also
Of the Duey Lee On high binder tong. He
is believed to lave been killed by a men,
Der Of the On \ elk highlander society.
The detective state that though the Yeks
are killed man or two ahead of the Duey
Lees, stIh the former tong is Offering 500

alleged wrongs, at least so say the officers.
