THE OLD STORY.
Futile Attempt to Rescue a Chinese
Female Chattel.

Female Chattel.
Mrs. Culbertson of the Chinese Mis-
sion Home in San Francisco came up
here yesterday to rescue a Chinawoman
from a Fourth h-street den. She was ac-
companied by Chinawoman dressed IN
American garb, and they applied to Chief
of Police Drew for assistance in their un-
dertalling.
The Chief SAID he did not see as he had
any right to take part in an affair Of that
kind and suggested that Mrs. Culbertson
proceed in legal manner.
The latter then applied to the Sheriff,
and a couple Of deputies were sent with
her to see that she was not obstructed in
her effort to get the alleged female chattel
out of the place where she is kept.
Somehow the philanthropic lady got
the wrong tip, and the woman who was
hustled into the carriage III waiting was,
it is said, not the one she was after, but
the wife OF the boss of the dugout. at all
events, she either escaped from the hack
or was allowed to get out on Second street,
and she made a bee-line for the old stand.
The "bossee" then caused the arrest by
Officers Wilson and Higgins of two
Cinnamon, who he says put up the job to
get the woman into the Chinese Mission
so that they might get possession Of her
by one Of them marrying her in "Meli-
can" fashion. The charge against the
prisoners will be attempt at kidnapping.
For all that. If there is q woman in the
Fourth-street den. or any other, who pre-
fers her freedom to being held as a slave
and money-maker for some Mongolian
who thinks he owns her because he may
have bought and paid for her, she should
be given an opportunity to walk out if
she desires TO do so.
