The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1896-03-15

The opium den on South Lawrence
avenue is now like a ship without
rudder. It's balance wheel is gone. and
the captain of this barque OF iniquity
lies like houndered shark on a dry
beech. He is badly disfigured and can
not be said to be in the ring either, not
withstanding he makes vile threats
against one of the citizens of Wichita.
But there is no apprehension of fear
felt by the one against who all his ire
is raised
For some time o. c. Daisy had been
warning the keeper of this den to pre-
vent certain parties from entering his
vile den and using his pipe and at the
same time giving the Chinaman, Char
ley Lung, to understand that If he did
permit the parties named TO enter his
place, that he, Daisy, would proceed
TO handle the heather Chinee without
gloves.
About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Daisy entered the den and proceeded
to give the Chinnamen what Paddy did
the drum-a terrible beating. The
Chinaman retreated but Daisy follow
ed up and before he was done the pro-
prietor of the den, which has hereto
fore been exposed in the Eagle, resem-
bled bleeding hog more than a human
being.
Chief Of Police Burt and Officer SUIT
ton were called TO the rescue and ar
rived in time to save the life of the Chi
naman and at once took the heather
TO the station where DR.. Rentz was
called TO sew up his head.
They also captured the pipe which
ho- - +ta aV-fu Of
many Wichita mothers, and the whole
paraphanelia of the den, and as con-
sequence this barque of destruction
was last night without its rudder
When the Chinaman had been patch
ed up and sewed and pasted together
he was brought before his honor Thorn
as c. Wilson, police judge of the city of
Wichita, and a more despicable sight
probably never was brought before
court of justice. He was fined SO. He
was forced TO pay s. for having his
head sewed up. But that was not the
worst of it. He hated 10 part with his
money, but when the chief told him he
could not have his pipe he broke down
wept like a child and between sobs
got off something like the following rs
he pointed his finger at the police judge
Mclean man say Amelikee was free,
ne lieu uhee q QOSec. NdSuee anu
no smokee. Man Gomez jumpee on NEE
and beate me upe like hellee. Policee
he Gomez and takee NEE ana lete the
fightee man goee. I was hurtee. 1
no fghtee, l runee but gete blOwee and
bloodee. Fightee name payee nothing.
No 1 dontee givee a dance but cheefee
he keepe the pipe and 1 dice. want
you takee allie my money but givee me
backee nv pipee.
The Judge refused the request and the
man went off muttering to himself
about his hard luck.
AT O'Clock a brother Chinaman
came to the police station and told the
chief that the man would die if he did
not have a smoke, and the chief was
moved by the appeal and with re-
porter for the Eagle took the pipe,
(which is said to be very valuable one,
and let the Chinaman have little
smoke. He was a hard looking pill
to have to be classed with the human
family as he laid on his table and
drew the fumes OF the drug through
his lungs. The chief would only allow
him TO have a small smoke and he said
when he got well and had killed the
man who had beat him he would go
away from Wichita forever.
