All Lum fred three shots at Fong Chong
as the latter stood in front of the theater at
$50 Washington street last night. One of
the bullets penetrated Chong's lung. an
other struck his shoulder and the third

vertentIy present, in the thigh. Fong
Chong's wound is fatal and All Ducks is
serious. Both were taken to the Receiving
Hospital for treatment All Duck lives on
Sacramento street, near Dupont. The muir
derer ran away.
Fong Chong was doctor and had many
patients, but for some reason known only
to himself he gave up his practice and be-
came an actor. He was robust fellow and
as handsome a man as Chinatown could
produce. He stood last night opposite 800
Washington street, while the lantern. punks
and candles were being lighted all around
him. His assailant stepped up behind him
and fired three shots, two of which took
effect in his body.
Chong fell upon his face and the blood
trickled slowly from his wounds upon The
pavement. All Duck, the laborer, who was
struck by the third bullet which was in
tended for Chong, fell under an orange
peddleis wagon and disappeared in the
great crowd that gathered around the
place.
The assassin flung his revolver into the
gutter, and another pistol was found by
the side Of his victim Whether 1t belonged
to the murderer or the murdered is not
known.
The murderer ran down Washington
street and was seized by a collector named
George Duff1eld. He wrung himself loose
from the collector grasp and continued on
his way.

and MeManus were near by and tried to
head off the fugitive, but be doubled on his
track and escaped them. They followed

Jackson street.
Detective Cox lay in wait at the rear of
the building, and as the Chinese sped over
the roof called upon him 10 halt. The
fugitive paid no attention to the command,
and the detective fred two shots at him.
He escaped uninjured and is still at large.
The wounded men were taken TO the Re-
ceiylng Hospital.
The reason for the murderous attack is
said to be that Ch0ng had wife and
daughter 6 years old which were stolen by
LINN. Cbong recovered them, and Lum
said that he would get even.
Foong Chong was found lying where ne
fell on the sidewalk, In pool OF blood, by
Detectives Cox and Glennon and several
other officers, who had been attracted by

moned. and the injured Chinese was taken
to the Receiving Hospital, where he lies IN
a critical condition.

was struck by stray bullet, was less seri-
ously hurt and will recover.

been shot twice in the back Dy his assail-
ants, and saw at glance that he was NOR

further up in the shoulder, inflcting pain
full but not dangerous wound. and was ex-
tracted by the assistant surgeon.
After his wounds had been dressed the
dying Chinese was placed on cot in one of
