The San Francisco call., 1896-11-11

Chinese did not understand the nature OF
the circumstance. The proprietor who
leased the house is considerably in ar
rears in his rent, but the many occupants
have all paid in advance and to them the
eviction was a hardship. The proprietor
was not on hand and the deputy Sheriff
could not make the dodgers understand
why their chattels were put on the side
walk. Many of them were poor laborers.
This is the first Chinese eviction in this
city as they are generally regarded as
good tenants.
