CHINESE LAUNDRY BURNED
Midnight Fire on Temple street-A Big Crowd
Present

At 1910 this morning an alarm was
rung in from box 157 for a fire on Temple
street, near Bunker Hill avenue, which
proved to be In Chinese wash house.
The building was u large one story
frame structure, situated on the back
OF a lot facing on Temple street. and
about four doors east of the corner OF
Bunker Hill.
The laundry was run by Charlie Yick
Woo, and about nine hands We're EN-
ployed. All We're In their hunks and
asleep when the fire started, and when
awakened had only time to snatch a few
articles and run. For a time it was re-
ported that several had not escaped.
but had been incinerated in their beds.
This rumor was later disproved, as all
the Chinese were accounted for and no
bodies were found in the ruins.
Before it was discovered the blaze had
attained great Roadway. and the flames
We're not quenched until the building
had been entirely consumed, together
with some adjoining sheds and a shack
barn. In the barn two horses We're sta
bled, but they were taken out safely.
The building was owned by Judge Bick-
nell and was worth perhaps $500. The
Chinese claim to have had at least $500
worth of linen on hand In process of
laundering, most of which will prove a
total loss A wagon standing in the
yard and a pile of coal We're also con-
sumed.
An enormous crowd was attracted by
the glare of the fire, which lit up the
sky and was visible from all parts of
the city. The firemen were somewhat
handicapped by being confused by an
alarm which some brilliant parsonage
turned in from San Fernando and So
tello streets. Whoever ii was probably
saw the blaze and thought all that was
necessary was to pull a box somewhere.
The building was completely de-
stroyed, only one or two timbers re-
naming standing. The origin of the
fire is unknown, the Chinese claiming
there were no lights in the house ana
that everybody had retired. 1t Is prob
able that one of the heathens was smok-
ing opium in his bunk and the flame
from his little lamp started the confla-

HARD WORK, LITTLE PAY
Youthful Teamster Accuses His Ex.Em.
pioyer of Battery

Before Police Justice Morrison yes
terday afternoon a complaint was sworn
to by Henry Valiant charging a contrac-
tor named Hennemann with committing
battery upon him. 1t appears that Va
liant, who is a youth of about II, living
at Rowland and TWenty-third streets,
had been working for Hennemann haul
ing brick. For his labor he was to re-
ceive the muniticent sum of $40 per
month
After putting in a couple of days Va
liant concluded that the work was too
hard and accordingly quit. Hennemann
called at his residence yesterday morn
ing to inquire why Valiant had not
shown up for work. He was told and
warm words ensued. Finally Henne-
mann started off Young Valiant asked
him if he was not going to pay him for
the time he had worked and received re-
ply that he was not. Eventually, it is
claimed, Hennemann attacked the boy
and knocked him down. Mrs. Valiant
interfered on behalf of her son, but was
roughly pushed aside. Seeing no other
means of redress the complaint was
sworn to and warrant for Henne-
mann's arrest issued on it.
