PASADENA Dec. 2.-The Chinese
laundrymen Of South Pasadena are in q
high state Of terror over bold robbery
which took place 1t Wing Lees laundry
in that place last night about 10 O'Clock.
There were eight or ten mon in tho
place. which is . small frame building
ON Fair Oak avenue, whom two masked
men made their appearance I'm the
doorway, each holding q savAge-looking
bulldog revolver. The, sight of the
guns, together with the masks, was too
much for the heathen. who proceeded to
shell out what spare change they had
about their clothes, amounting in the
whole to about $50. The robbers, how
ever, were not satisfied with this, but
demanded OF Wing Lee that he dig up
money, which they thought he had hid
about the place.
This Wing denied that he had any
money hid and begged that they let him
off as he had given all he had and had
nothing more hid. This seemed to enrage
the two brutes who set to and and gave
him q severe beating. threatening all
the time to blow his brains out unless
he told them whore the money was.
Another Chinaman who attempted to
help out his countryman was also
beaten with the butt of pistol, while
both OF the Cinnamon had their scalps
cut open.
Failing to get any more money the
fellows at last gave up the attempt and
made off in the darkness.
The police have been notified and will
endeavor to run the pair down.
THE TOURNAMENT OF ROSES.
The coming tournament OF roses on
New Years day promises to far surpass
any former gala day which has been
given under the auspices OF the Valley
Hunt club. The general interest which
is being taken in this festival by the
general public outside Of the club which
has charge OF arrangements, argues
much for its success.
This celebration has become one of
the permanent attractions OF this Sec
tion OF the state, and this year promises
to gain more favor than ever before. It
resembles in many ways the famous
former gala days of Venice and New
Orleans, and will doubtless in time be-
come as well known as those celebrated
festivities.
The committee of the Valley Hunt
club which was recently appointed to
take charge Of arrangements is hard at
work upon details. and the programme,
together with the list OF prizes, which
will be both large and valuable, will be
published in a short time. MANY of
the events will be open to the entire
Southern California and some splendid
sport is looked for.
