CHINESE FATALLY
STONED BY BOYS
Injured Oriental's Companions
Force Way Into Home
Seeking AssaiIants

OAKLAND, Aug. 16.-Fook Chung, a
young Chinese employed in a cannery
at Seventh and Pine streets, was stoned
this evening until he fell to the side
walk at Twelfth and Chester streets,
bleeding and unconscious from frac-
tured skull He Is probably fatally
injured.
Eugene Sankey, a 13 year old boy, is
in detinue in the city jail on suspicion
Of leading other boys in savage on
slaught against the Chinese. Sankey
was arrested at his home after the at
tack.
Chung was struck by two heavy
rocks while walking with five other
Chinese, who are under arrest on
charges of forcing their way into the
home of c. A. Mears, a railroad en-
gineer living at 1862 Twelfth street.
Mears, awakened by the intrusion,
sprang to the front room and held the
five Chinese at bay with a chair, while
year old Charles Carter, whom the
orientals were pursuing, escaped by the
rear.
The Chinese, it is said. were enraged
and threatening the life of the lad.
whom they accused of having taken
part in the stoning of Chung. This is
discredited by the police. who say that
the Carter boy was not implicated in
the attack.
The police arrived while the five
comrades of Chung were searching the
neighborhood for the Carter boy and
arrested them. Meanwhile Chung was
lying unconscious on the sidewalk.
The Chinese in jail are All Toy, Lin
Leong, Hang Yee, All Yit and All Sing,
cannery workers.
The melee caused several riot calls
to be sent to the police station. Angry
men threatened the Chinese, in the be-
lief that the Carter boy was in i'm
minent danger. He and Clarence Nc
Keegan and Willie Mulligan, two other
boys of the neighborhood, were ques-
toned at the police station and released
Charles Carter lives at 1896 Chester
street.
The Sankey boy lives with his father
John B. Sankey, an engineer for the
Southern Pacific company, at 1850
Peralta street. Mrs. L. t. Stevenson,
wife of a member of the board of edu-
-cation, reported that from her window
she saw young Sankey throw two rocks
which felled Chung.

Needing not perfect hail of bullets

Thomas F. Meehan in the darkened
hallway of the Hicks residence yes

At one end of the hall, taking what
shelter he could, stood the policeman.
At the other, a few feet behind a
staircase, was Frank Hicks. Each man
was emptying his revolver at the
other. Shot after shot was being
fired across the few feet interven-
ing between them, and into the smoke
and the din of the battle plunged the
young wife.
SEE WOMAN IN FLASH
For Gods sake, for Gods sake!"
she screamed. He'll surrender; he'll

Meehan, thinking at first he was be-
ing attacked from another quarter and
mot recognizing the woman in the
dense smoke and dim light, spun
around with leveled revolver Hicks,
from his corner, again pulled the trig-
ger and in the brief revolver flash both
men saw the woman's flying hair and
outstretched arms and the upraised re-
volvers dropped. The next moment
Hicks pitched his gun at the feet of
the policeman and stepped forward.
hands above his head. The wife heard
the handouts click and fell across the
stairs senseless.
Meehan had gone to the Hicks resi-

Hicks beat the other over the head
with a revolver. AS he was doing so
j. j. Klapperich of 2946 Folsom street
ran up and Hicks fired two shots at
him, neither of which took effect He
then ran inside his house.
Hearing Of the trouble Meehan went
to Hicks house and as the door was
opened showed his star and started to
enter Meehan was in plain clothes
and Hicks said he did not recognize
him as a policeman. but he took him
for one of Broderson's friends. He
jumped back quickly, drew revolver
and fired. The bullet furrowed a line
across Meehan's forehead.
CHARGED WITH CRIME
Though blinded with blood the po-
lfceman pushed his way in, firing as he
advanced. Hicks answered the shots
The wife. who was upstairs, ran down
at the first shot and when she appeared
on the scene the men were blazing
away at each other. Except for the
slight wound across Meehan's forehead
neither was hit
Hicks was arrested and charged with
