ODD CHINESE VENGEANCE
Sam Yups Cause the Arrest of Ten
See YupS

SAN RAFAEL. Nov. 25.-The celestial
idea OF vengeance for an affront or some
thing more serious has undergone a
marked revision. When Wong Ho. the
Chinese fisherman of Point San Pedro.
informed the Ming Yung Society that Lee
Doc Teong. his partner. had been mur-
dered by Lee Lin Ling, II was commonly
supposed that more blood would flow. An
attempt was made to murder a relative
named Lee All Ling. but since that oc-
currence the Sam Yups have adopted a
different plan-a plan which. viewed n
the light of Chinese custom and trad!-
ton. seems almost freakish.
To-day Constable George Agnew
marched through town as guardian u ten
Chinese fishermen. They came from San
Pedro Point and were all members Of .he
See Yups. Agnew took them before a Jus
tice of the Peace and swore to complaints
charging each OF his charges with illegal
fishing on account of their use OF drag
rets In lieu of $1,000 bali they are now
confined In the County Jail
AS the Chinese were being taken to fail
a number of their countrymen from the
fishi 1g camp-all Sam Yups-stood on the
corner and made free use OF taunts and
derisive epithets. Instead OF killing one
OF the See Yups the clansmen IF lee Doc
1eong had informed on them for illegal
fishing and were laughing at their dis
cOmfiture.

Unpleasant Experience Of Two Men
on the Bay at Night.

SAUSALITO. Nov. 25.-George Hard
man and S. II. Benton, two employees OF
the Coast Contracting Company. had a
narrowing experience on the bay in a
small skiff last Thursday evening. After
a hard struggle they managed to reach
shore half a mile below Old Sausalito
about 10 o'clock that night drenched TO
the skin and exhausted.
The Coast Contracting Company has
the contract TO blow UP Shag and Arch
rocks, and the two employees were en-
gagged in drilling a hole in Shag Rock in
which a bolt was placed. TO which the
painter OF a boat was to be tied. At six
o. clock they left the rock and started for
Sausalito, a distance of nearly two miles
They were buffeted about by wind and
waves for about three hours in the dark
ness, and while one rowed the other was
busted I'm bailing the water out OF the
skiff, which almost filed three times and
was in danger OF capsizing twice. Since
this adventure the men have left the rock
at o'clock every afternoon. giving them
selves plenty OF time to reach land before
night.
