ARMED AND READY.
The Highbinders Prepared and Wait
ing HostIites.
Indications That There VIII be An
other Outbreak in the Chinese
Quarter Very Soon.

The rival gangs of highbinders in
Chinatown are whetting their cheese
knives and loading up their revolvers
with dynamite and chain-shot. prepara-
tory to filing up their cemetery.
The war is to be between the Bing
Hong longs and the Chez Gong Tongs
again, and promises to be continuation
upon a larger scale of the riot of some
months ago.
The cause of war this time is the trial of
Chin Hane and Hoey Yen Sing for the
murder of the merchant Lee Gong, one
faction Savoring and the other opposing
their conviction.
If the highbinders now on trial should
be convicted, the Bing Hong Tongs pro-
pose to wreak vengeance on the Chez
Gong Tongs, and if the culprits are ac-
quilted the Chez Gong Tongs will be the
offensive forces.
Several of the witnesses who have testi-
fled at the trial are said to be marked for
slaughter, whichever way the jury de-
cides, and mischief is atoot in either
event.
A number of highbinders from San
Francisco are expected to join the forces
here, and when the hOStililleS commence
there are expected to be music, bullets,
cheese-knives and cleavers in the air
along the I-street boulevard.
Several magazines and arsenals have
been established on Third, Fourth and |
streets, where it is believed the warning
factions have a plentiful supply Of
weapons and ammunition stored for the
emergency.
Some of the Chinese have asked the
protection of the police. and others have
barricaded themselves in cellars and
easements, while few venture to pass
dark alleys or shady corners after dark.
1t is expected that the cases on trial in
the Superior Court will be decided to-
day, and if so the Cinnamon are likely to
commence operations at any moment.
ONE GUN-MAN JAILED.

of the largest size and loaded to its fullest

All Why was followed to the police
station by dozen other Chinese, who
protested that nearly every man in China
town was armed, and they thought they
all ought to be arrested or that All Why
should have an equal chance in the threat
ened war.
An Why's friends wanted to furnish
bail for his release. but they could not ar
range it last night.

BIDS FOR CITY WATER.

Three Different Plans Likely to be
Submitted to the Trustees.
at the meeting of the Citizens Water
Committee last night the proposed ordi-
nance published a week ago in the
RECoRD-UNIoN was so amended as to
provide for bids only for water from sub
terranean sources.
A separate ordinance was submitted by
the South Yuba Canal Company, provid-
ing for bids under the gravity system.
and word was received that Messrs. Iiy-
ermOre and Gallatin would to-day send
in an ordinance such as they desired to
bid under.
The committee finds it impossible To
prepare an ordinance covering both the
subterranean and gravity systems, .or
one even that would be satisfactory to
both the moCntain-system companies.
1t is likely, therefore, that three separate
ordinances will be reported to the City
Trustees, and it will remain with that
body to determine which bid Will be the
best for the city.

A Very Largely Attended and Sue
cessful Affair.
Yesterdays picnic at Eureka Grove,
near Marysville, given under the au-
spices of the MarysviIle appeal, was a
great success both in point of numbers
and socially. About 1909 people were
present, and, judging by outward ap-
pearances, had merry time. Specials
were run from Sacramento. by way OF
knights Landing, and from Chico and
Oroville. each carrying a large crowd.
The amusements consisted of a mill
tary shoot for a silver cup, which was
won by Company + of Woodland, which
defeated Company of Marysville by a
score OF 4l9 to 80; game OF baseball be-
tween Marysville and Sacramento print
ers, resulting in a disastrous defeat for
the northernels-4 to Is; pigeon shoot
for trophy, won by William j. King OF

the Government for $500, 736 Of this

is to be paid in five annual installments.
Chief Harris explained that the plan is
to realize the money at once on the Gov
ernments promise to pay. "The au-
thorities at Washington" he said, "have
authorized to issue S6,640,00 in bonds,
bearing per cent. interest. The United
States will indorse these bonds. and we
will take them UP as the Government
pays us. We expect to get the money
without any trouble, and we already have
negotiations pending in Wall street. We
will divide the money among our people
per capita, which will be used for i'm
provements, the buying of cattle and
farming implements, and for the better
education of their children" Several
Wall-street bankers are said to be willing
to give the money to the Indians. LII

ARBITRARY ASSESSMENTS.
Assessor Irvine VIII soon Begin to
Turn Them In.

County Assessor Irvine calls the atten-
ton of taxpayers to the fact that the law
requires him to complete his assessment
rolls by the first Monday in July. III or
der to do this he must begin by June lst
to arbitrarily assess all property whose
owners have not returned their own
statements, as he will have barely time
enough in which to complete his books
by the date fixed by law.
Mr.. Irvine says his deputies have beg
ged and pleaded with property-ownerst to
send in their statements in order to avoid
the necessity of having their property
arbitrarily assessed, but hundreds have
as yet failed to do so.
He malI( S one last appeal to them for
their own interest to comply with the law
at once, for arbitrary assessments are not
subject to revision by the Board of Equal
iZation.

EDS. RECORD UNION: Permit me to
ask two questions relative to words-not
out of curiosity, but because | want to be

to say electro-eXecutiOn instead Of electro
cution? The latter is bad, l know; but
is not the former, too, heavy and un-
wieldy? 2. What authority is there for the
newspapers saying as they DO that the

WOODLANDITE.
l. The RECoRD-UNIoN did not advise
anyone to use, in place of the so-called
word "electrocuton," the compound
''electro-execution." What the RECORD
ITNIoN said in reply to the defenders of
the abomination, electrocution, was ::
~ ,et us say, if we will, electro-execution,
hut never electrOcutiOn." That was not
advice to use the compound, but simply a
suggestion that if one is determined to
introduce electro as prefix to execution,
ne can do so and not violate the decencies
for using anything more than the word
execution? That ought to serve as cap
tion surely; in an article descriptive of
the means, it will then be graceful
