for many sins according to the Chinese
code of honor. To add to Lee Gong's
trlbulations, the vindictive old highbinder
had him arrested for battery.
When Lee Nee Toy and Joe Gar.
wealthy liquor merchant, whose establish
ment.is at S05 Sacramento street. heard of
they went down and bailed Lee Gong out.
Lee Ilp's rage on hearing the news is
said to have been fearful. He put the Bah
On Tong to work, saw the Chinese Consul
ana the twelve directors of the Kung
CHOW and got them, in conjunction with
himself and Lee Lun Yuen, to expel both
Lee Nee Toy and Joe Gar from the Kung
Chow Company. They were also inter-
dicted by Ii Wing Yu, which shut them
of from all intercourse with the Six Com
panies.
The two men at once saw their friends
about the matter and expressed their in
dignation at the high-handed proceedings
of Lee Zip Dock, backed up by Ii Wing
Yu, Lee Lun Yuen and the Bah On Tong
hatchetmen.
When Lee Zip Dock heard of this he
at once issued proclamation, 80 the
Chinese merchants assert, stating that $500
would be paid any man killing either Lee
Nee Toy and Joe Gar, $400 for the death of
Charley Jung, one of their most faithful
friends, and $500 for the death of all the
nearest relatives and friends of any of the
three.
Lee Zip Dock is treasurer of the Kung
Chow and is said to be able to lay hands
on the funds to use them as he pleases.
Lee IT'S death is directly due TO the
price being set on the head OF any near
friend of the three men mentioned In the
foregoing. Ock Wah, the alleged mur-
derer, is not only a member of the Bah
On Tong, but also of the On Yick Tong
and the Hop Sing Tong, all highlander
societies.
His record is black as the ravens wing.
The Chinese openly assert that he is
responsible for at least three murders CON-
mitted in late years.
A Chinese named Jow Yook stood on the
second floor of building directly opposite
35 Waverley place and peering through
the window saw the assassin get in his
deadly work and Lee tt drop in the death
agony.
So far he will not state whether it was
Ock Wah or not. This reluctance is due
to his fear of the hatchetmen, so nobIy
controlled by Lee Zip Duck.
Charley Jung, residing at 727 Sacra-
mento street. who was reported in morn
ing paper to have Identified Ock Wah as
the slayer, vigorously denies the allega-
ton and asserts that he did not see the
shooting at all.
Chinese highbinders are now out search.
ing for an opportunity to kill some friend
OF Lee Nee Toy, Joe Gar and Charley
jung. Joe Gar has two men hired tt
protect him in his place of business.
Sergeant Cook and posse were last nigh
detailed to patrol Chinatown and keer
things as quiet as possible.
The names of three of the highbin der,
engaged in seeking blood money ar,
known. They are Low Kuen, Lin Fool
and Muck Ming. The Chinese hope for M
relief until the triumvirate composed o.
Lee Zip Dock, Lee Dun Yuen and Ii
Wing Yu is dissolved by some process OF
other.
