Chinatown Convulsed by
Another Elopement
AN ALARMING ABDUCTION
CONSTABLE STUART AS THE
YOUNG LOCHINvAR
An American Law Once More Prosti-

Chinatown was cast into a fever Of
excitement last night over the abduc-
tion of member of All Lips harem.
The fact that this particular wife
yearned to be abducted did not diminish
the gravity of the outrage.
With Guey Ying no longer there,
All Lip he commenced to swear,
Employing the choicest Celestial ex-
pletives and hurting such stupendous
anathemas after her abductors that
even those who sought to assauge his
grief sank back in resigned dispair.
Meantime the eloping lady had been
safely deposited on train bound for
San Francisco and was laughing at the
thought of the tempest which she felt
sure she had raised in Chinatown.
Guey Ying, for such is the name Of
this precious bit of Oriental femininity,
is pretty girl of some twenty summers.
Until two months ago she lived hap
PLY in San Francisco with Wong Hey.
Then a shadow crossed their domestic
threshold in the person Of All Lip.
pig-t tailed noble from Los Angeles, who.
with his handsome figure, pleasant
manners and bewitching converse soon
imposed upon her tickle heart. The
two eloped to this city leaving Wong
Hey comfortless. But the faithful

Soon the fickle Guey yearned for her
old associations, her old home and her
old husband. In her ennui and remorse
she communicated with Wong Hey and
Wong was of a forgiving nature ana
decided to get his wife back. But Wong
| is something of a financier. He knew
that there were cheaper ways of get
ting a wife back to San Francisco than
paying car fare. The astute Asiatic re-

Guey Ying had not stolen anything, 1t
is true, but that made no difference.
warrant was issued on that charge and
turned over to Constable Stuart, who
arrived here yesterday afternoon and
located Guey at 35 Marchessault street.
This Chinese prize was told that she
was to be abducted and instructed to
hold herself in readiness. That Is just
what she did. Constable Stuart con-
ferred with Deputy Constable Tom
Quinn, and as result they drove into
Chinatown at 9:45 o'clock last night and
went direct to 35 Marchessault street.
This allowed just fifteen minutes 10
reach the train for San Francisco at
River station. Guey was in waiting at
the appointed place. The team pulled
up and Quinn stepped lightly within the
house, and, seizing the woman in his
arms, hurried out with her to the car
riage. All Lip saw the very unusual
proceeding and started in pursuit. But
1t was no use, and Quinn had placed
the woman inside the carriage and the
door was shut before All Lip could get
there. Then the enraged Celestial let
out such a roar as awakened the classic
echoes Of Chinatown. Out from their
dens swarmed the Mongolians like beee,
and it seemed as If a rush upon the car
riage was imminent before it could be
driven clear Of the crowd. But once out
Of the throng, the horses clattered down
the street, their hoofs seeming to All
Lip to echo the Chinese equivalent for
"ta ta."
