THE RfCOQDOf AM HOUR
IN THE CHINESE QUARTER OF
SAN FRANCISCO
ThreeStory Building and Two Men
6r4rned, Two Cinnamon and
Three Policemen Stabbed

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2l.-Two China
men burned to DEATH another seriously il
not iatoily stabbed, and three policemen
siightly wounded-this, in addition to the
partas. destruction of three-story building
py b'fe, was the record made within a single
h3'.r in Chinatown tonight.
A fire alarm was turned in shortly before
o'clock. The threestory brick building at
~ and "a Waverley place was on fire, and
before the engines could reach it the interior
was destroyed. The building swarmed with
Chinese. A rush was made for the open air.
but two failed to escape, and their charred
bodies were found in the ruins after the
flames had been extinguished. They were
Wong Do Quay, the son of the proprietor
OF store in the building, and Wong Cow,
who recently came to San Francisco from
idaho. While the fire was still in progress
Chp Guey, who occupied the basement,
rushed from the burning building.
Drawing a large knife, he ran amuck
through the crowd that had assembled. As
he did so it was observed that the long
blade and handle of the knife were covered
with blood, presumably from wounds which
he had inflicted on himself. He made q
pass at Special Officer Sellinger, who barely
escaped injury A group of police weuN
standing mar and upon them he fell, cutting
Officers Knight, Galloway and Harrison
about the hands.
But here his bloody career ended. for
Knight drew his club and knocked him sense
less. He had been stabbed twice in the ab
domen, the wounds being serious. The Off
GERS were not dangerously injured
