person.
The subjects of Ong Yick Won's
flight at facetiae were several moon
eyed maidens who participated in the
ceremonies incidental to the dedication
of new josshouse last Sunday. In
the preliminary pageant they rode
horseback and wore flowing wells that
completely concealed their faces from
the heather stare, but their feet were
exposed to public view and it was by
humorously alluding TO their feet that
Ong Yick Won put his own foot into it.
These foolish maidens," is alleged
to be a literal translation of Ong Yick
Won's comment, would surely have
hidden their feet and shown their faces
if they had but realized that their feet
were large
To call a Chinese female a big
foot woman" is equivalent to ques-
tioning her chastity, and as the maid
ems twitted by Ong Yick Won were
highly respectable their masculine cou-
sins waxed very wrath over the twit.
Hints of their anger reached Ong
Yick Won ere they appeared at the
door of his office and sought admit
tance, and he had locked himself in.
By strategy, however, Yung Ting Ye
and Sue Qua, merchants both, ran the
blockade and pounced upon Ong Yick
Won as he sat at his desk endeavor-
ing to frame retraction that might
satisfy the offended ones without sac
rificing his own dignity. The two in
vaders used only the weapons with
which nature had equipped them, and
they punched Ong Yick Wons nose
and eyes and smashed his spectacles
ere they considered the honor of their
respective houses sufficiently upheld.
After he had procured the arrest of
his assailants Ong Yick Won sent for
All Wing and engaged him to serve as
bodyguard untilN Chinatown's select
circles have recovered their equanim-
ity. Meantime there is eager awaiting
of to-days issue of Ong Yick WonS
journal, with even money offered that
it will not contain one hieroglyphic of
reference to the shaming of his face.
Yung Ting Ye and Sue Qua are con-
fidently expected to forfeit their bail.
Judge Cabaniss dismissed the muir
der charge against Marcus Smith (col-
ored), who fatally stabbed George Ste
wart, champion American cake
walker of the Pacific Coast, on the
night of March 4 in a Pacific-street
dance hall. The testimony showed that
Smith stabbed in self-defense. He was
manager of the place and was at
tackled by Stewart because he demand
ed that the latter pay him 20 cents for
two dances in which he had revolved
with Miss Tillie Jeffers. Not until he
had been twice knocked down did
Smith begin his knife-work.
Adolf Stein and John Lupasco were
returning from mask ball and M.
Terrogioro and T., T. Thornhill were
homeward bound from an amateur
prizefight when the quartet clashed on

Hall of justice, at a very early hour of
yesterday. Mr.. Stein was attired in a
yachting costume of snowy duck-at
the ball he had masQueraded as Sir
Thomas Lipton-and 1t was jeering al
lusions to his appearance from Messrs.
Terrogioro and Thornhill that started
the fracas. Patrolman Reed informed
Judge Fritz that when he (Reed)
emerged from the hall his attention
was attracted by a white object flash
ing among several dark bodies and in
vestigation disclosed to him Mr.. Stein
and his companions commingled in
combat with the other two defendants.
He split them out and then herded
them into the prison, and when the
Judge had heard the particulars he
discharged all four. apparently consid-
ering their twelve hours Incarceration
