Since the possibility has arisen that
the zee family of Chinese in Salt Lake
and the amiable organization of high
binders known as the On Yuck tong
may clash in this city. Chief of Police
5. NJ. Barlow and other nGads Of de-
partments in local police circles have
been busy studying the habits and
characteristics of the On Yuck tong,
meanwhile keeping a weather eye open
for any of the society that may appear
in this city. In this way the police
have learned some interesting things
through local members of the zee fam
lily and correspondence from San Fran
cisco.
Not least interesting among the in
formation received by the police is that
the prospective visitors to Salt Lake
are feeding on wild cat meat Mem
bers of the zee family have told Chief
Barlow that a mans food affects his
disposition; that if he eats rabbit
stew he will be mild-mannered as a
bunny: that if he eats roast wildcat.

TO the police, the Ratchet men of the
two tOngs are gOrging themselves with
wildcat meat, so as to attain the prop
er frame of mind to kill d few more
of their enemies.
One On Yuck tong man is said to
have overfed himself and he had to be
sent 10 the lunatic asylum. Besides
having acute indigestion, he was as
wild as the widest wildcat in the 81
erras. Another tong man ate a wild
cat fricassee and jumped from a sec
Ond story window onto the back OF
a zee man. He lost eight of his wild
cat lives on the pavement and sur
geOns hope to preserve the ninth. The
police will see that no wildcat meat
is displayed in butcher stalls in Salt

patTolman says. Quistberg OstentatiOusly
produced a note pad and pencil and pro
ceeded to make an impudent threat that
he would get the policeman for inter
feTing.
Impudence faded before the yawning
doors of the jail, however, and the youth
pleaded teaTfully to be released. Patrol
man Mccormick then insisted that he
make public apology there and then for
his action. and after one more glance at
the jail, Quistberg said the patrolman
was correct in his statements, that he had
insulted the women and had not seen
them before. A circle of friends who had
entered the police station with grinning
faces, left with looks of respect for the
power of a policeman in such cases.

turned in an alarm. The department

the fire laddies arrived the interior of
the building and the stock was burn
ing fiercely, and it was some time be-
fore the blaze was extinguished. In
some way the rumor became current
that the fire was in the oparahouse.
and considerable excitement followed.
Mr.. Johnson owned both the stock and
building. He carried a stock of about
$4,000 value, including paints, oils, var
nishes, wall paper, mouldings, etc. Ow-
