According to the latest advices, Lady

thing having been well up to Wednesday.
In view OF the Beers destruction OF
bridges, the War Office has issued orders
for the shipments OF a quantity of bridge
work between this and the end Of the
year. 9.
1t is reported that the British Govern

attached TO the Dublin Fusileers. and
Lieutenant Frankland and thirty-seven

There are rumOrs of another disaster to

twenty-five volunteers who formed the es-
cort are missing. There is no confirma-
ton OF these reports.
When definite news from Ladysmith is
available u will doubtless be found that
the garrison has been having a lively
time. Nevertheless, not much credence
should be paid TO the stories of train
loads Of Boer wounded taken toward
Pretoria as the result Of the crushing de-
feat at the hands OF the British. Expert
ence has shown that those Kaffirgrams,
even though emanating from missionaries,
are not trustworthy. However, there
seems no doubt that there have been some
sharp affairs. Heavy rifle firing, follow
ed by an explosion. was heard in the di-
rection of Ladysmith before daylight

possibly the explosion OF a magazine.

day as having arrived at Cape Town, car

Chinatown is at a high pitch OF excite

or all this disturbance is pretty little All

lare to live and there she met How Toy

her Life in Tulare was too tame for All
Quay and her indulgent' husband moved
10 San Francisco, where he opened a
tailoring establishment at 1904 Dupont
street. About this time All Tom. an
other Chlnaman. with an eye for beauty.
fell a victim TO the Chinese. maiden's 10y
ing glances and shortly. afterward they
shook the dust Of the metropolis from
:heir feet together and went TO San An
dreas, this county. where the father OF All
Tom is a prominent merchant. Again All
Quay's love grew cold and she left her
lately acquired protector and went to
Sonora, Tuolumne County. and later to
this place. RI
In the haunts Of Chinatown she reigned
as the belle. Her admirers were many
and more than once a bitter fight between
rival suitOrs was barely averted. This
was the case about three weeks ago
when the young Cinnamon who cOnsider-
ed themselves eligible for her smiles de-
clared themselves and for time IL look
ed as though bloody battle would be the
outcome of their declarations. This state
OF affairs has continued at intervals ever
since, but the climax was reached lately
when her legal husband made his appear
ance among them. He expressed his IN
tention to regain his lost spouse and take
her TO his home in San Francisco.
IL was only matter. of short time
before All Quay was advised Of How
Toys intentions, and she prepared eIer-
self 10 meet him. She consulted with
favorite lover. LON Loon, the cook at a
hotel. and they decided that the place
was too uncomfortable for them and they
would seek more agreeable climes. Mean
influence to bear TO the end that he might
regain his wife. He proposed TO her TO
accompany him back TO his home. but she
did not agree TO his proposition. How
Toy was determined, and decided TO use
force. He told of the great amount OF
money All Quay had cost him and he
wanted satisfaction in some way. Stormy

and together Lom Loon and his sweet
heart took carriage and drove 10 Valley
Springs. From there they went to Lodi
and disappeared 10 the world. When How
ted he was furious, and started In hot
pursuit.
He has declared that he will recover his
lost property or wreak vengeance on the
head of the despoiler of his domestic life
1t is thought that he has invoked the
assistance of the highbinder element, and
the outlook is bad for LON Loon. All
Quay is a very handsome Chinese girl
and has attracted great deal OF atten-
tion among the white people here. China
town is in an uproar, although the willy
Celestials are apparently ignorant that
an elopement of more than ordinary color
