County Attorney Christensen took the
matter under consideration until he can

Ming also appeared at police station
yesterday and petiuCned the police for
protection and, with that petition he pre-
sented one which, if granted will turn
the old police court into a show house of
Chinese eccentricities when the Chinese
gambling cases are tried The petition,
which was written in Chinese, when
translated, asked Judge TimmOny to have
the city buy a live chicken which is to
sacrifice its head in the oath-taking cere-

asked that the witnesses be made TO bring
yellow paper to burn in the ceremony
and that d likeness of the war god Jos be

men expressed their willingness to comply
with the wishes of Ming. provided he

encOred. Fred Graham, I. HaddOck

called several times. Sid ClaWsOn and
