CHINESE VENGEANCE.
Chung Tied to Stake on Lonely Island
and Left to Stare.


and Left to Stare.
A San Francisco dispatch says
Hing chung, a Chinese.shrimp fisher
man, was found by Constable Agnew
on Sunday bound hand and foot and
tied to a stake on an uninhabited is
land in San Pablo bay. He had been
left to die slowly of starvation because
he was accused of beinga spy.
Two companies of Chinese are striv-
inc for the monopoly of the lucrative
shrimp industry. One is controlled by
King Owyung, formely Chinese vice
consul at San Francisco. He secured
a practical monopoly of the business,
but recently RIVAL company has APP
peared, to which Chung belongs.
King Struggled number of Chinese
into his camp, but some one informed
the United States officers and the men
were arrested.
Then Highbinders posted placards
threatening death to any one who gave
information. They seized Chung one
night and carried him to their head
quarters, gave him mock trial, and
condemned him to death. They roweC
him over to a solitary island seldom
visited and out of the course of the
passing steamers. Then they drove a
stake in the sand and tied their victim
to it. He was bound, but not gagged
and his feet were pegged down secure
ly. Then they left him to die.
For two days he was exposed to the
fierce sun without food or water, and
to the cold fogs at night.

South Georgia's Share.

From the Valdosta Times.
The Savannah Morning News says :
"The chancellor of the University
of Georgia has compiled map show
ing the geographical distribution of
the attendance at that institution.
The map shows that the smaller at
tendance is from the southeastern
portion of the state. South Georgia is,
indeed, but SHINY represented at the
university as compared with the at
tendance from other sections. We
have said often before, and this map
of the chancellor bears US out that
there is need in southeast Georgia for
state institution of learning for the
benefit of the youth of this section.
At present the white boys of south
Georgia are deprived of educational adj
vantages to which they are entitled
because all of the state institutions are
in northern or middle Georgia. Ath-
ems and Atlanta are too far away from
home for them. The situation calls for
an agricultural and mechanical college
"a chronological school-at the city of
Savannah for the benefit of south
Georgia. The south Georgia delega-
ton in the legislature ought to make
a strong fight the next session for such
an institution and the representatives
from north and middle Georgia ought
to be willing to accord the demand
from a sense of right and justice"
The Times has also hit upon this
subject several times in the past. 1t
has appealed frequently for greater
recognition of south Georgia at the
hands of the "men who CONTROL" and
it has been tempted to fear that some
representatives from the wlregrass
section were more Jealous for their own
recognition as political factors than
they were for the material good OF
their section of the state. The Times
would be glad to see college such as
the News refers to established at
Savannah or some other city in south
Georgia for the benefit of wiregrass
youths. Paying more than half of the
taxes of the state and furnishing more
than half of the democratic voters,
this section is eminently entitled to
more benefits from the state than 1t
hoe rpahivn0 in the past

Farmers in Egypt have purchased IL
Philadelphia 100000 bushels OF seed
corn, which they propose to plant in
the fertile valleys along the river Nile,
says the Baltimore News. The cargo.
which is to be delivered at Alexandria,
will be taken from Philadelphia on the
British steamship Rubinstein. 1t is
claimed by expert agriculturists that
the rich Nile valleys. which have been
uncultivated for centuries, will grow as
good corn as anywhere in the world.

Gentlemen-I've often heard of your
greet medicine and have persuaded my
wife, who has been much of q sufferer
from catarrh, to try Pe-ru-na, and after

Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly

by DR.. Hartman. This remedy has
been thoroughly tested during the past
forty years. Pe-ru-na cures catarrh in
all stages and phases. There is no rem

merly a corporal Of troop E, located
at Fort Washable, but now discharged
and a citizen of this city, went to his
room at the Hotel Fremont to join his
wife, and found that two former COM
rades of his, George Findlay and Sam
Hastings, had called on his wife in
company with a woman by the name
of Emma Avery. Mr.. Moan objected
to his wife receiving the company,
when one Of the soldiers, Sam Hast
ings, pulled a pistol and ordered him
out of the room, stating that his COM
pany was not desired.
Mr.. Moan protested and the parties
started to leave. and while Means at
tention was taken up by his retiring
guests Mrs. Moan climbed out of the
window and Joined her friends on the
outside. Mr.. Moan Immediately noti-
fed Marshal Savage, and he started
hot on the trail and caught up with
them as they were getting on their
horses to return to the fort. Calling
on them to halt, which they refused to
do. Savage fired at them and they inn
mediately returned the salute, then
wheeled their horses and shook the

union has not been happy one. The
authorities intend TO prosecute Hast

phere and died at home, as the rest of
the Bankers heard the dirge of defeat
ringing in their ears.
The only runs of the Bankers were
made in the third inning by an error
on the part of Weggeland out in left
field. Two men were out and the bases
were full. Wells placed the sphere out
in Weggelands territory, but it was
misjudged and fell TO the ground after
being fumbled around by the man who
ought to have had it.
There were several star features OF
the game One of them was the new
uniform worn by the Bankers and the
other was Bert Margetts' poses and
his persistent invitation of trouble by
chewing the atmosphere in the direc-
ton of the umpire. Trilby Nicholson
was another big attraction, and his
smile at the end Of the game could be
felt within a radius of two blocks. The
first umpire, Weller, also might be list
ed among the stellar features, as he
did what umpires are never expected
10 do. He quit at the first of the sec
ond inning because his decision was
disputed All around it was a big
event, an all-star attraction.

The officials secured one run by
squeezing in the first of the eighth.
and played their old game by shutting
the bankers out in their half. The
men who handle the cash also demon
strated that they are able to handle a
ball and returned the compliment of
the officials in the first of the ninth.
The officials were equally gracious and
as a result the bankers didn't score,
the ninth ending with the score an
even eight on each side.
The men from the county building
opened the tenth rather inauspiciOusly,
Jeffs striking out. Thatcher followed
with a three Dagger out in the bushes,
and Bert Margetts got to first, because
Groesbeck wasn't watching where the
sphere was going. He eventually went
to sleep and was retired. Griffiths then
