been Salyed over with coin.
There is not q Fong Duck Tong man
in the city, so the Mongols claim, and
the headquarters Of the gang is locked
and the police have the key. The Fong
Ducks are engaged in the hop fields,
and are probably thus raising funds
with which to carry on the expensive
litigation arising from the murder.
But the annual Chinese fair is only
about ten days off, and then the police
expect trouble. During the progress of
the fair. or harvest festival, the Mon

deputation of Fong Duck Tong men
will appear, wipe out the killing of HON
Cow Nuey by tumbling over some Suey

MCKENZIE DISCHARGED.
Claimed That His Witnesses Were
Not Subpeuaed

In the Police Court yesterday morn
ing George Mckenzie was arraigned
to show cause why he should not be
held in contempt of court for giving
information leading to the arrest and
trial of George McAdams for battery
which had not been borne out by evil
dence.
Attorney Owen G. Hopkins appeared
for Mckenzie and stated to the court
that two witnesses for the prosecution,
whose names had been furnished to
City Attorney Brown, had not been
subpenaed in the case against Mead
ans, though they would have corrob-
GRATED the testimony of Mckenzie in
every particular.
Attorney Hopkins further stated that
he had interviewed the two witnesses
the night before, and that they were
still ready and willing to corroborate
the testimony given by Mckenzie. He
requested that a continuance be grant
ed until this morning, and promised at
that time to produce the two witnesses
whom the City Attorney had neglected
to summon, and stated that they would
bear out the statement made by Nc
Kenzie in every particular.
Justice Davis said that while Nc
Kenzie's statement had been contra
dicted throughout, he was inclined to
believe that there had been perjury
rather than contempt. He felt salts
fed, however that Mckenzie had been
sufficiently punished, and ordered that
he be discharged

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How q Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had serofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods SarsapariIla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

South Bend, Indiana.
You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla of all
druggists. Be sure to get only Hoods.

What Bruised His Wife's Arm.

In the Police Court yesterday morn
ing Frank wager entered a plea OF

fused to obey took her by the arms and
