Four members of the gang are now cool

City Prison. They have been positively
identified by one of their victims, and
Detectives Cox and Glennon, by whom
they were captured, are iudustriously en-
gagged in seeking for additional evidence
against them. The names given by the
captive robbers were Wong Yen, Chun
Bow, 700 Cheong and Dong Ian. Their
den was a rlckety garnet room in a tall
building on the east side of Ross alley, a
very narrow street that bisectS the block
bounded by Washington, Jackson. Dupont
and Stockton streets.
Cox and Glennon heard that the place
was a robbers roOst and at o'clock yester-
day morning they, with an interpreter,
climbed the precipit0us stairs leading TO
the garrett. Their advent was not anticl-

in the room, which is about ten feet long
and eight feet wide. Two OF the men lay in
