KILL LOOKOUT
Fire Two Shots at Chin
Chew Through a
Window.
Blackmail Follows Loss in
Gambling Den and
Causes Crime.

Chin Chew, a lookout at Buck Guys
gambling house, S20 Washington street,
was murdered while sitting at his win
dow adjoining the entrance to the den
early yesterday morning by two high
binders, who have so far eluded the vigi-
lance of the police. Two shots were fired
at the lookout, the first bullet strik-
ing him in the abdomen, the second lodg-
ing in the wall behind him.
About ten minutes to o'clock the muir
derers approached the window. at which
Chin Chew was seated. The window is
covered with wire screen. One of the
highbinders placed the muzzle of a re-
glass and fired twice. They were seen to
run away by three Chinese, who were un-
able to get good look at their features.
The police were quickly notified and De-
tectiveS Dinan and Bailey, Sergeant Chris
tiansen and Policeman Peshon were soon
at the scene. They sent Chin Chew to the
Receiving Hospital, but he died a few
minutes after arriving there. The officers
made a thorough search, but could find no
trace of the murderers.
Detective Ed Gibson was detailed on the
case yesterday, and he ascertained that
the murder was due to an attempt at
blackmail following a loss at the gam
bling tables Three highbinders had played
successfully about two weeks ago, win
ming about $1700, Buck Guy came to the
conclusion that they had cheated him and
he told his assistants to be on their guard
when they returned. They did so a week
ago last Monday night and they lost $3.50,
the assistants playing the same trick on
them that they had worked before on the
house. Since then they had threatened TO
kill Buck Guy unless the $3.50 was re-
turned to them, and failing in that it is
supposed they determined to wreak their
vengeance on the lookout. Gibson wants
Buck Guy to swear to warrants for the
arrest of the men he suspects, but is
doubtful that he will do so being afraid
they will take his life.
About 10 o'clock Thursday night Police
man Tillman of the Chinatown squad saw
a man acting suspiciously in front of the
gambling house. The man had a paper
parcel under his arm, and when Tillman
grabbed hold of him and opened the par
eel he discovered it contained a large
Colts revolver. 1t Is believed that he was
there to murder some one. He was ar
rested for carrying a concealed weapon
and was taken before Judge Mogan yes
terday. The case was continued till No
vember 4. He ave the name of Chin
Moon. and said he was cousin Of Chin
Chew. After he had been informed Of
Chin Chews murder he said he had come
from Bartlett Springs to protect the dead
man. as he had been notified that threats
had been made to kill him. The police do
not believe mis- story.

guns of the forts are too far away to

will throw a shell about 10 miles; the
best mortars will carry less than half

EngIaad's Newest War Poem.
/ hear a voice of murderous wrath;
We have not burned enough. or
slain;
Too little havoc marks our path;
Wherefore &c gentle. 10 humane!
From countless roortrees be there
rolled
The smoke Of expiatory fires!
More incense yet an hundredfold
The unsated God Of War requires.
Blind from the first, blind to the END.
Blind to all signs that ask mems
gaze!
In vain by lips of foe or friend
The world cries shame upon your
ways.
Fulfill your mission; spoil and burn;
Fling forth the helpless-babe as
well;
And let the children's children learn
To nate you with the hate of hell.
From whatsoever faint remains
OF lingering justice in our heart,
Purge us-erase the poor last strains
or pity-such your noble part.
So shall the God of Wa not lack
His tribute; and the long-foiled light
Be for the hundredth time thrust back
Into the night, into the night.

occurred when, at IA, she was chosen
one of the eight bridesmaids of the
wedding of an elderly Russian ambas-
sador, Count Bodisco. Count Bodisco's
bride. a girl of 16. was, with Jessie
Benton. being educated at the George
town seminary.
Among her memories are those or
the great balls and dinners given by
the Prince de Joinyille, the son OF the

Washington in 1S41, when Tyler was
President and Webster Secretary OF
State; also, the functions given In hon

the Duke of wellington, who came
over direct from England in a man-of-
war with a whole legation. only drop
ping anchor at Potomac.
While in Europe in 1852 and 1858
Mrs. Fremont's life was full of inter-
est. from her first evening out in Lon
don at the town house of the Duke OF
Northumberland, through a long list
of brilliant functions. In Paris she
witnessed the entrance OF Louis Ma
poleon as Emperor.
The eliminating point in Fremont's
life was his candidacy for the Presi-
dency in 1856. He was the first Re-
publican candidate for President and
Mrs. Fremont was a prominent factor
In the campaign. When the war came
on and Fremont distinguished himself
by freeing his slaves. Mrs. Fremont
was In sympathy with his action;
when he refused to serve under Pope
she upheld him; when her life was be-
set with poverty and suffering she
shared adversely with patience.
In her old age Mrs. Fremont still re-
tains her interest In the active world,
and many persons of distinction who
visit Los Angeles seldom fail to pay
their respects TO her.
