Interesting Facts About a Powerful
Chinese Organization.
From The Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
There is an inquiry addressed to the
narrator as 10 what is meant by Chinese
"Htghbinder' the querist's curiosity be-
ing aroused by the dispatch from San
Francisco, describing fractional trouble in
the Chinese quarter of the city by the
Golden Gate. The newspaper account
speaks of the discovery of an Internal
machine. and states further than Chin
Goev. a Highlander, has been arrested
Cor demanding $500 from his former part
ner, Chin Gin, under penalty of DEATH.
The term Highlander as applied to our
Chinese visitors is very much abused.
Apparently any act of violence by a Chi
naman is ascribed to a band of mysterious
individuals who are thus classified To
understand the real the proper meaning
of the term. one must first seek informa-
ron as 10 what constitutes that other
mysterious body known as the Chinese
sly Company. This corporation combina-
tion is a singular demonstration Of the
Tact that there is nothing new under the
sun. To the many ingenious things whose
origin is ascribed to the Chinese we can
add, besides gunpowder, the art of print
inc and the telephone, that peculiar trade
conspiracy which in this country and in
this day we term trust" The Chinese
sly Companies had its origin many wears
ago. There was a body Of merchants do
ing business in Hong Kong and five sim
liar commercial associations engaged in
ike enterprises in Canton. The rivalry be-
tween them was great and the competition
ruinous, and in consequence they finally
nooled their issues and made an amalga-
nation of interests, the result being the
Chinese Six Companies, which had head
quarters in Canton and In San Francisco
and financial representa- ives in every Chi
nese colony Of 1000 or more persons.
The main business of this strong
wealthy trade combination Is supplying

occupation where no special dexterity Is

infected with the bubonic plague, did
not occur The agents of the japanese
steamship company, recognizing that
they could not proceed with the land
ing of freight in opposition to the or
ders of the police force stationed on the
dock expressly to prevent such action,
withdrew the vessel into the stream.
There was a sharp war of words while
this was being done, but no attempt
was made to ignore the orders of the
board of health.
This afternoon the vessel was again

understood she will not again attempt
to make landing until the expiration
of the legal time limit.
The passengers and crew are still de-
tanned at the quarantine station on

be kept for the full time required by
law in order that no infectious germs
may be brought into this city or state.
Dr. William f. Barbat said:

ESTED IN LITIGATION.
Parties to Suit Scattered Over Three
Counties-Water of Sewer River
and Several Streams In Question.
(special Correspondencel

Richheld, July 1.-The big water suit.
involving the right to the waters of Sewer
river and its tributaries between the
Nielsen dam in Sewer county and the
kingston dam in Piute county. has been
formally instituted by the filing of
copies OF the complaints yesterday.
IN the complaint, the Richfield Irriga-
tion canal company, Aurora Irrigation
lanai company, Brooklyn Canal company
Elslnore Canal company. Monroe Irriga-
tion company, Joseph Irrigation company,
MeiIS irrigation company. Sewer Valley
canal company. Monroe South Bend
Canal company, all corporations. and
tWenty-six individuals. are named as
ton company. Cove q Joseph Canal COM
pany, South Bench Canal company. cor
poratfonS, and seventy-two individuals,
are made defendants.
me complaint sets forth that the plain
tiffs have, since 1878. diverted and used
the waters of Sewer river in Sewer coun-
ty, and of Deer, Beaver and Bullion
creeks in Piute county by means of dams
r1gating $500 acres of land in Sewer
county, and without which water said
lands would be barren and unproductive.
and that this water is barely sufficient for
such purpose.
1t is alleged that since 1893 the defend
ants have constructed dams in Sewer
son and Kingston dams and unlawfuily
diverted a portion of the water therefrom
TO the injury of the plaintiffs
The plaintiffs and the defendants being
the only parties using the waters above
mentioned. except such rights as have
been tudicially established and which are
conceded, and plaintiffs therefore ask the
court for decree determining and es-
tablishing the rights of the plaintiffs and
defendants, and to enjoin the defendants
from diverting, using or interfering with
the waters to which the plaintiffs claim
title.
Judge McCarty issued temporary re-
straining order and fixed the bonds at
$500. Defendants are notified to appear
July q and show cause why the inJunc-
ton should not be made permanent. The
suit is of the greatest Importance to the
people of Sewer. Piute and Garfield coun-
ties as, directly and indirectly, the in
terests of about 1900 people are involved.
1t is not for the purpose of attempting
to infringe upon the rights already es-
tablished but to have a judicial decree
establishing the rights of the claimants
to the waters of the Sewer river so that
there shall be no disputes in the future.
and that any infringement upon Such es-
tablished rights can he prosecuted.
Seventy-five complaints and summons
have been issued and are being served
upon the defendants. J. b. Jennings has
been employed by the plaintiffs.

B0SSY STOLE THE BRAN
AND WOMEN FELL OUT

Mrs. Agnes Miller, an eStimable lady
living in the lower part of the city, is
the owner OF a cow-has been for a long
| time-deeded to her by her husband,
and fed from the family income. Nat
urally, Bossy is highly priced, and the
children have lots of respect for her.
But in spite of the dear things good
treatment at home, it conSpired against
the Johnson bran bin, and in the early
| hours of morning mixed up with a rail
fence, not without considerable sue
cess, and was soon in the seventh
heaven of delight. BosSy munched
away at the bin for an indefinite period,
her head inside and the lid resting
gracefully upon her neck. All troubles
We're forgotten. until Mrs. Johnson hur-
riedly emerged from the doorway,
broom in hand. Without hesitation, she
gave Bossy a swat that rivaled in tone
the woodland echo of a thirteen-inch
fusillade, and with rapid rear-up and
rousing below the astonished bovine
jumped behind the ash pit. After some
maneuvering, the Johnson family cor
nered the animal and tied her near the
field she just had conquered.
Meanwhile, the MillerS had been
aroused to action. The Mrs. SHE'D a few
weapons into the other yard and en-
tered by the fence rail, rent by BoSSy.
With her daughter, she toted home the
COW, and Mrs. Johnson sought redress.
An accusation of ''forcibly taking cow
from custody" was made and the con-
test was fiercely fought out before
Judge Timmony.
Mrs. Elsie NJ. Johnson, the complain
ant. was on the stand fully ten min
utes. She expounded chapters on the
trouble, and promiscuously infringed
upon Laura Jean Libbey's descriptive
copyright. Probably her most graphic
picture was that of the little girl tug
ging at the halter and the mother
humping" from behind. The prosecu-
ton then rested.
Mrs. Miller. when placed on her de-
Tense denied all this. She said she had
feared the cow was bloated and would
die. and sent her daughter May to as
certain the damage. Word came back
that it was something awful, and that
Bossy was a prisoner until the police
should arrive. Mrs. Miller saw her pet
in the throes of death-even heard the
rattle-and was just making up her
mind to act when Bossy came march
ing home. The daughter said Bossy
was sorely tempted and thought the
Johnsons should know better than to
leave the bran bin in sight of not in
tended for her.
The court believed it another case
where neighbors fail to dwell together
in peace and harmony. and let it go at
that. No one was fined.
