Local Happenings.
LONG BEACH, Aug. 1.-The customary
quiet of this place was disturbed late
last night, and about ten arrests were
made. Out on Chestnut street, between
Fourth and Fifth streets, is Chinese
wash-house, run by All Gee. A num-
Der OF complaints have been made
against the place by the residents of
that part of the town, all claiming that
night was made hideous by the carou-
sails of the Cinnamon, who congregate
at the wash-house from all the surround
ing country; so when Deputy Prosecut-
ing Attorney McComas was down yes
terday he was seen in relation to the
matter by the local authorities, with the
result that raid was planned for last
night. e
At IL O'Clock Constable N. J. Kim
mon, Del Cox. W. Craig and E. Benne-
field started out to make the arrests.
Bennefeld was left to watch the back
door, Craig stayed at the front entrance,
and Del Cox and Constable Kimmon
dashed through the front room
into the room where they found twelve
Cinnamon, come smoking opium, others
playing deminos or cards and the rest
doing off. One OF the Cinnamon made
a lunge at Del Cox with butcher knife,
giving him a slight cut on the right
hand. Cox retaliated by smashing the
fellow in the mouth with his fist, knock
ing out four teeth. This fellow and an
other Chinaman managed to escape but
the rest were go surprised that before
they could grab any weapons the officers
had hustled them out and took them
before the justice where Constable Kim
mon swcre to complaints against them.
