SWEET REVENGE WORKED
on A CHINA RANCP
A Reward is Offered For The
Offender

Early yesterday morning a fire &C.

yon that is conducted by All Gee Ac-
cOrding to the story OF Mr.. Gee, an
other son of the Fiowery kingdom Sc
cured revenge by burning the pig pen
and it's contents, which consisted of
nineteen pigs.
How anyone could think of a more
deaoiy revenge than this on China
man, is the puzzle. 1t took a China
man to do it. When the fire was dis
covered, Gee started for the pen to
rescue the highly priced delicacies, but
when he landed, the fire was in full
sway and beyond help. When going
to the fire, he caught sight OF what he
declares was the firebug, and while he
| is not sure of the identity, he believes
| that he can lay his hands on the guilty
J countryman.
| He has offered a reward of $500 for
the arrest and conviction of the party,
and if there is any amatuer sleuth in
this section that wishes to show his
ability, here is his chance. Gee claims
that had he time to secure his pistol
which his wife mad locked in trunk,
"a tip that some other wives make
tane), he would have been able to
land his man without the aid of re-
ward. AS it was, his faithful watch
dog hung onto the culprit sufficiently
that if found, the man will bear The

AS Gee is prosperous farmer and
is considered o. X. in the business
world. he win pay the reward should
