CHINESE FIRES AT
ENEMY OF HIS TONG
HAT OF MARKED MAN HIT BY
BULLETS
Slayer Of RIns Gong Leader in San
Francisco Has Sequel In Los
Angeles China
town

The first blow in revenge for the
killing of Wong Fong, president of
the Bing Gong tong, in San Francisco
two weeks ago by hired assassins of
the Hop Sing tong was struck in Los
Angeles last night when a desperate
attempt was made to slay Charlie Ho,
an influential member of the Hop
Sings.
Six shots were fired at Ho from an
automatic pictol by Zip Doc, member
of the Bing Gong tong. Two of the
bullets passed through Hos hat and
one through his coat and underjacket'
grazing the skin. The other shots
missed Ho and fiattened against the
brick wall of the building against
which he was standing at the time.
Zip Doc, who was recognized by by
ISLANDERS, made his escape before the
police arrived.
The shooting took place shortly after
8 O'CLOCK in Ferguson alley, immedi-
ately off of Los Angeles street.
At the second shot Ho dropped to
the sidewalk. This probably saved his
life, as the third bullet passed through
the crown of his hat.
Zip Doc dashed into the narrow
black opening between the buildings
from which he came and thence
through the rear of mercantile es-
tablishment and from there into an
other narrow alleyway leading to Ala
media street.
At the end of this little alley a light
spring wagon, to which was attached
two horses, was standing and he
jumped into this and drove rapidly
north on Alameda.
According to statements made last
night by influential Chinese merchants
and other residents a number of kill
ings In the tong war are scheduled for
Tuesday night next and the attempt to
shoot Charlie Ho last night is believed
to have been premature and the work
of an over jealous ..lghbinder.
