method of the average Celes-
tails duplicity in concealing cases of
sickness, no matter however trivial,
is revealed in the attempt to get Quong
Fat Man away from his usual place of
abode. and inflict his infected presence
upon others. All yesterday morning
was consumed by President Wood of
the Health Board to find out where
the man had been sleeping of late, and
where be had worked. 1t was learned
that the Chinaman had been an en-
ploye o! the Pantheon saloon for long
time past, assisting at times as bar
keeper After the first quarantine had
been placed around Chinatown, on De-
,cembcr 18th, sleeping quarters had
been ti;t2d up in the Pantheon stables
upstairs, for the Chinese employees, in
view Of possible second quarantine.
The Chinaman remained there until
last Saturday, when it Is stated he left
and lid not return. The Pantheon sta

A visit was made to the rooms occu-
pied by the wife and family of the de-
ceased but she stated in most positive
terms that her husband had not been
to see her for month. President Wood
says that the appearance of the two
hunks in the room showed that both
had hoen used the night before, and
he was positive that the patient had
been at his home right along, but be-
ing in what is considered the infected
district, the inspectors did not have
him on their lists.
Story of the Hacks.
Some peculiar stories are told of the
hacks which are said to have assisted
in spiriting away the fast-dying Celes-
tial. These hackmen, if found, will
certainly feel the weight of the law if
the Board of Health is powerful enough
TO reach them. When the first hack
came 20 All FATS place on Thursday
morning, at Wyllie and Liliha streets,
there were two Cinnamon in the back
seat one, evidently very i'll, leaning
upon the shoulder of the other. Two
other hacks subsequently drove up and
the passengers also went into the
house.
When the hacks went away shortly
after ward, the first hack had two men
in the rear seat, one of whom is said to
havr been held in the arms of the
other. This was part OF the ruse to
throw AFT any suspicion that sick Chi
naman was left behind, for 1t was not
long before Inspector E. F. Bishop was
informed by the owner of the house,
All Fai. that a sick Chinaman was ly-
ing in the road, and the man was then
removed to the pest hospital. Detect
ives we're busy yesterday In tracing up
the facts, and 1t was definitely learned
that the man had been living with his
wife and family in the Mclean block
until driven away to All FATS house.
