THREE FOOTPADS.
Two Arrested, But the Other Made
His Escape.

A colored youth named Andrew jack
son Miller last night informed Special
Officer Harlow and Deputy Sheriff AL
ter that three men had attempted to
rob him in the vacant lot just west of
China Slough.
Miller accompanied the officers to
the place where the alleged attempt at
robbery had been made, and pointed
out his assailants, who at once made a
break for liberty. Two of them. who
gave the names Of Harry Lynch and
Phil Kennedy, were rounded up and
marched to the City Prison, but the
third, known to the police as Virginia
Fatty" made good his escape.
AT the station Lynch was vigorous in
his protestatiOns of innocence, until a
skeleton key, warranted to open nine
teen out of every twenty locks, was
fished up from a corner of his coat
tails, when he shut up like a clam.
The police say both of the men are
ex-convicts, and believe that evidence
sufficient to convict them of attempt
at robbery can be secured

A SHINING MARK.
Death Claims Mrs. G. A. Au11 of
Folsom.

After several months of pain and
suffering Mrs. Margaret L. Aull, wife of
Warden c. A. AulI of the State Prison
at Folsom, passed away yesterday Her
life had been almost despaired of some
weeks ago, but she rallied and it was
hoped that she would recover without
having to resort TO a severe operation.
1t became necessary however, to try
the only chance that remained for saw
ing her life, desperate though it was
and the dreaded operation was per-
formed yesterday by four skillful sur
geons. 1t proved too severe for the pa
tient, however, for despite all that med
ical skill could suggest she was una
bic to sustain the shock and died soon
afterward.
Mrs. Aull was prominent in society
circles here and elsewhere, and was
greatly admired for her charms of
character and person She was at
tended in her illness by her husband
and two sisters, the Misses Augton of
San Jose. Another sister, Mrs. P. A
Humbert, died four years ago

THE TONGS ARE FEVERISH.
MORE SHOOTING is LIKELY TO
OCCUR SOON.
The Chinese Theater is Closed, and
Women Are Keeping Be-
hind Shutters.

The local Chinese theater is closed,
and that significant fact induces Cap
tain of Police Fisher to suspect that
local Mongolian war may break out
at any moment.
The Chinese women have declined to
patronize the theater at the present
time, and Captain Fisher has ascer-
tanned that their reason for doing so
is because shooting is liable to occur at
any moment Numbers of both the
Fong Duck Tong and the Suey On
Tong-the highbinder gangs mixed up
in the troubles resulting from the kill
ing of Eom Cow Suey-gave the women
a few pointers, and they remain within
doors.
The action of the Chinese women was
sufficient to convince the manager of
the theater that his showhouse was
mapped out as a place for beginning
hostilities, and he closed down in or
der to avoid any unpleasant conse-
quences.
Captain Fisher has been informed
that fighting men of both tongs have
been called in, and that the Fong Duck
Tongs have twenty heavily armed
thugs near Brighton Station, who are
only waiting for things to quiet down
somewhat before they enter the city
and begin the battle.
The Suey Ons, also. Captain Fisher
states, have called in their troops, and
dozen of them are now stationed at
a cannery conducted by a member of
their gang.
Lee Him, the principal witness for
the prosecution in the cases against
Long Yin Toy and Chin Cow Nuey,
charged with the murder of HON Cow
Nuey is at present heavily guarded
by the Suey On aggregation, as they
understand that his life would be
worthless did the Fong Duck thugs
get a crack at him. Lee Him is a
renegade Fong Duck, and that fact
alone it is said, would be sufficient
to seal his doom. provided only that
his old associates get a chance to muir
der him
The police state that war is liable
to break out at any moment.
