A JUVENILE POET.

Little Leonard Bailey, IL years old,
OF this city, has poetic faculty which
may develop into something out OF the
ordinary in maturer years. Some time
ago his cousin and playmate, frankie
Grant. died. and Leonard thus s1-
presses his grief in lines which his
mother has kindly given to the Way
farer: :
The birds sing sweetly round my cot
This balmy Summer day;
But am sad, with sorrow wrought
For Frankie's gone away.
Yes. frankie. who was true and brave,
And light as dancing spray;
Who made my life heaven on earth,
Now sleeps beneath the clay.
Oh. birdiesl Cease your happy songs,
They make more keen my pain;
For they call back the happy days
That ne'er will come again.
Yes, they recall the blissful days
I've spent with frankie dear,
And never can l think of him,
Without the burning tear
OH sadly do ] miss his love.
And long each day to rise
To that sweet home where now he
dwells,
That blissful paradise.
Leonards mother says that the boy
not only composed It, but also set It NJ
in type and printed 1t on small press
which he owns.

HIGHBINDER WAR FEARED.
Yong Yos Complain of Persecution
by King Owyang.

SAN RAFAEL, Dec. S.-The persecu-
tion which the unfortunate Yong Yo Com
pany's fishermen are meeting with be-
cause OF their refusal TO enter a combine
engineered by King Owyang, late vice
consul at San Francisco. is exciting a
great deal OF indignant comment among
the citizens OF this place, and there Is
talk Of the matter being brought 10 the
attention Of the Grand Jury. King Ow-
yang is ambitious OF rivaling the Cau-
casian trust magnates. and the thought of
his efforts TO form a shrimp combine be-
ing frustrated by the refusal of the Yong
Ios 10 gain the alliance OF the Six Com
panies has driven him TO seek this means
OF bringing them 10 time. Several charges
are already pending against the Yong Yos.
but this latest one of anchoring nets in
stead of allowing them to drift may result
in several convictions TO San Quentin
At about 10 o'clock this morning John
Greed. constable Of Sausaliso, left for the
village Of San Pedro, and returned with
about ten Celestials. They were taken
before Justice of the Peace and released
on $500 bonds. The hatred felt by the
combine toward the Yong Yos is so strong
that IL is feared a highbinder war will be
declared in the fishing village. in which
case heavy loss of life is almost ineVi-
table, as King Owyang is determined 10
form monopoly. and will not hesitate TO
seek the aid Of hatchetmen TO remove any
obstacles that may stand between him
and his ambition.
