THE CASE DISMISSED.
Choi Fling Evidently the Victim of
Persecution.

Choi Fling, the Chinese woman whom
Chief Loughery arrested in Portland
Monday on charge of larceny of
valuable bracelet, was in the police
court yesterday, and drew about the
largest audience the Judge has had
this season. Outside the railing the
space was packed with Cinnamon, most
Of them having dropped around Just
to get a glance at the really pretty
countenance of Choi Fling, who at the
opening of court sat in the prisoners
dock, her back half turned to the cur
ious spectators, and never once gave
them the slightest glance. When Mrs.
Hong Chong, the prosecuting witness,
went upon the stand, look Of hatred
and defiance stole into the dark eyes
of the Oriental woman, but aside from
that she expressed no interest in what
was going on around her An lnterpre-
ter was sworn in and the trial COM
menced. To make long story short,
1t was claimed by the prosecution that
the prisoner, during a certain period in
September had worked for Mrs. Hong
Chong, and that when she left. a
valuable bracelet had disappeared with
her. Subsequently, as testified by
Wing Lee, the missing article had fall
lon into his hands through a China
man who offered it for sale. Choi Fling
was suspected, and her arrest as al
ready chronicled, followed.
H. f. Gullixon, member of the
legislature from Multnomah county,
was present as a witness for the de-
fense. He testified that the defendant
was married woman, her husband
being a partner Of Sid Back, in Port
land, and that she was now seeking a
divorce through the courts of that city.
Some time ago, at the very time the
prosecution claims she was working
for Mrs. Hong Chong in this city, the
defendant was in the basement of his
house, having been placed there with

LAURA.

When the purple hills lie sleeping,
Beneath the autumn shade,
And the trees are sadly weeping
Their tribute DER the glade;
There | laid my lovely Laura
In days so long ago,
When my heart was full Of sorrow
AS the mountains full of snow.
I've tried Oft to forget her
In the whirl Of busy life,
But the more do l regret her
In my round Of daily strife;
And when evening shadows lower
Ger the purple hills afar,
I recall the lonely hour
When 1 lost my polar star
Yet the day is surely coming
When We'll clasp with magic might,
Where the angel choirs are humming-
In the bright celestial light
Where the waters ever sparkle
On that bright eternal shore,
And our hearts will never darkle,
But shall love forever more.
