HAZED A CHINAMAN.

Young TIooligau.

A young man giving the name Of
Thomas Eward, was arrested on First
South and Commercial street this
morning by officer Woods on the
charge of battery upon All Woo, a
Chinaman who runs a store at the
head of Plumb alley.
The attack made by Eward was a
brutal one and entirely uncalled for.
According to the police he had been
drinking and while walking along the
street thought 1t would be fine to strike
an inoifenslve Chlnaman. All Woo was
the first Mongolian Eward saw and he
promptly knocked the Chinaman down.
All Woo complained to the police ana
Eward was arrested. He put up $40
bail for his appearance before Judge

STILL A MYSTERY.
No Clue to Person Who Got Away
With MdSCdrFS MOney---ViCtim
Furnishes Bond for His
BFOtheF-in-LdW.
Especial to the ARGUS.)

Asheville, Dec. 31-The robbery of
Charley Mascarl's fruit store, Friday
night, when Sd, ZOO in cash was stolen,
remains a mystery. The police are
inclined to the opinion that the rob-
berry was committed by some OF Mas
carl's kinspeople and have Tony
Mourmino, a brother-in-1aw of Char
Jail Saturday night in default of $500
bond. Bond was made yesterday,
however, by Mascara, who put up
$500 in gold for the release of his wife's
brother. Many people believe that
the police are wrong in suspecting
Tony. It is commended that in all
probability that the robbery was COM
mitted while the entire spolice force
was being banqueted Friday night:
that the robber or robbers knew
they were safe and the guilty persons
are the same who two weeks ago rob
bed the place of $25. Mascara and his
wife are completely eruxhed by their
loss. Their stand led closed all
day yesterday. Mascara appears to
take little interest in his business since
the robbery. It was necessary for the
police to go there Saturday and take
charge for a~time, picking up the loose
change that had been scattered about
by the robbers. The affair has aroused
great interest here and everyone dis
cussing the robbery has a different
theory.
