stage-robbing in Arizona. Well, he did
stop it to certain extent--that is to say,
nobody could rob stage who was Holli-
days enemy. The Earps stood in with
Holiday and his crowd of WelIs-Fargo
messengers. and every time we would hear
of stage that carried a lot of money or
bullion being held up Wyatt carp would
collect posse of his gang and start out
to run the robbers down. If they could
manage to catch any OF the. 'rustlers' of
the opposition crowd they would hang
them without ceremony, come back to
town and explain how they tracked the
road agents down.
MANY incidents led good many
people to think that carp was not so game
as he might be; so one night job was
put up to test him. just about dusk a
crowd OF men got on the fat roof of an
adobe building, commenced firing at a
great rate, and threw dummy figure of
a man over into the street. carp was al
the town pump, about 100 feet away, and
saw it all. It looked like case of real
trouble, requiring the interference of the
Marshal, put carp disappeared and was
not seen around his usual haunis until
things had quieted down. After this
Earp's nerve shrank in the estimation OF
the Inhabitants of Cochise County, and
Gated in most of the stage robberies led to
decision that the town could get along
without them.

write up the funeral. At that time the
Earps and their crowd were camped
about three-quarters of mile from Tomb
stone. The intention of the Sheriff 8
posse was to surround the camp and fill
the Earps and their followers with lead.
Somehow the Earps got wind of the de-
sign about an hour before the posse started
for their camp. When the posse arrived
the birds had flown. They started for
Benson, the nearest railroad point, and
made the distance OF twenty-six miles in
an hour and half. At Benson they were
concealed by Big Ed Burns, who had been
formerly City Marshal of Leadville and
who was afterward hanged in California,

their escape and never showed up

His Crooked Work.
Andrew M. Lawrence. "Long Green" is
squealing like pig under fence. He
knows that Attorney Kowalsky and Mar
tin Julian have gathered positive evidence
that he is the arch conspirator who infu-
enced ]. d. Gibbs of the National Athletic
Club to put in Wyatt carp as referee in
the fight.
The evidence to that effect is conclusive
and on the eve of being presented before
the court, and "Long Green" Lawrence is
fretting under the dread of exposure.
There is nothing he will not do to avoid
the expose. He is resortlng to all sorts OF
measures to avoid being shown up In the
disgraceful position in which he has placed
himself.
He and his emissaries were about Sun
day and yesterday cajoIing and even
threatening people calculated to be called
upon as witnesses in the investigation.
The attorneys on the. Fitzsimmons side
got their share of the honey and vinegar,
but they have stood firmly to their client

laws to cover the case, and that we need
only to enforce them. 1t seems to have
been taken for granted that the poolrooms
should be permitted to operate until the
Board of Supervisors should pass an ordi-
nance prohibiting them more completely
than the Ellert ordinance. The manner
in which the Supervisors have handled
the matter prohibits the hope that relief
may be expected from them. The relief is
at hand, and the police and the courts can
proceed without the Supervisors.
The things to be done now by the police
are not only to follow Mr.. Dare's sugges.

have new case daily for trial, but to
work diligently to secure sufficient evil
dence to convict. Meanwhile the scandal
which has cropped out with regard to the

CUsTOM-HOUsE SCANDALS.

The restrictions placed on the importa-
ton of Chinese ana opium into the United
States have been productive of such
an endless amount of official rascality
that the Office of the Collector OF the
Port of San Francisco has suffered
from scandal more perhaps than any
other in the country. Only recently
| thirty Chinese women were openly smug-
gled into the City from the Atlanta Fair
under circumstances pointing indubitably
either to incompetency or connivance on
the part of the local Federal authorities.
The latest news is that the authorities at
Washington have under investigation a
charge that the local customs officers have
lately received $4,000 in bribes for the ad-
mission of women imported from China
for immoral purposes.
1t is but just to explain that suspicion
has not attached to the Collector himself,
but to the men under him. At the same
time he is responsible for the conduct of
his office and for the misde eds of his in
feriors. A daring feature of the latest plot
to swindle the Government is said to be
the arrest of Chinese who has given val
liable service to the Government, the idea
| being to put him out of the way of OBJ
structlng the operations OF the "CuStom-
| house ring" Bribery and forged certifi-
Gates are alleged to be parts of the ugly
business.
From the very beginning of laws-mu-
| nicipal, State and Federal-for the regula-
ton of the Chinese IN San Francisco,
every conceivable form of official corrup-
tion has had genesis in the Chinese
quarter. AS our laws were obnoxious to
these aliens and interfered with their evil
practices, they were easy victims of black
mail and willing offerers of bribes. If it
| were possible to force them into an accept
ance of and submission to our laws one of
the greatest evils of their presence would
be eliminated. Being incurably alien,
they are dangerous; and having ideas of
morality repugnant to those of the white
race, they are demoralizing and corrupt
ing agency.
Collector Wise owes it to himself and the
people to assist in running down the scan
dais in his Office. Considering the pa
tience. silence and cunning OF the Chinese,
| the>task of exposure is exceedingly diff
cult; and while that will make the efforts
| all the more arduous, it indicates the dam
| gers of Chinese evils.
