LEE SING CARVED.
He Wanted TO Talk War With CoIored Men
Who Assaulted Him With aax0rs.

Lee Sing, the Chinaman was thankful
yesterday because he escaped being carved
up into thin slices at the hands OF two or
Africa's swarthy sons.
Lee Sing, obllvious to all the inspirations
of Thanksgiving day, was diligently
starching the shirt front of local dude
when two colored youths entered his
establishment and Dermeated the sur
roundings with the delicate aroma of Tom
and Jerry. They were patrons of his
bouse. ard As there was a colored festival
in the suburbs on the tapls they wanted
their boiled shirts and wanted them bad.
Lee Sing didn't know how bad they
wanted them and instead of giving them
the laundry he proceeded TO tell them
about the grievances of his native sunny
land. He worked himself up TO a high
pitch over the continuous defeats OF the
rriors of Ii Hung Chang by the Jap
ane>e and as the colored man did not quite
catch on to his Oriental remarks he
thought he was assuming a belig erent at
titude towards HIM for a lack of prompt
ness in paying some laundry debts III
CURED. \ row ensued whereupOn knives
and raZors were drawn. The Chinaman
received slash on the jaw, evidently
aimed at his neck, and he fairly
flew down the ailev crying aloud for the
police department. fire department, or any
other department that would give him
protection from the fighting gentlemen of
color. The Chinamsn, by some means,
got it into his head that the man that
owns the hoodlum wagon was the chief
mogul of the police department and that
protection was a purchasabie article hav-
ing market value, 80 he went on at a
stiff gait till h. came to James Howard,
to whom he offered hard cash for protec-
ton to himself aud the arrest OF his assat-
ants. He afterwards went TO the Chinese
doctor, where his wounds, which are bad
ones, Were patched up. Three colored
men We're arrested for the assault and they
all plead innocence.
