THE SENSATION
OF CHINATOWN

Yesterday the case Of Wong Fook
Chung, arrested ON complaint of Ching
Ling Hi, better known as "Chippy, -
was called in Judge Robins court
Nearly the entire male Chinese popu
lation of the town were present, the
only female in the room being the
fair Edna, wife of the complaining
witness, whose peace of mind, it is
alleged, had been disturbed by the de-
fendant.
1t developed at the trial that the
whole trouble had been started by a
story told by Edna to representative
of the Silver State and which was
published in this papers issue of the
10th instant. Being informed of the
story, the irate husband swore to a
complaint against the man whom Ed
ma claimed threatened to kidnap her.
However, when called to the stand,
she eontradicted herself so many times
that the defendants counsel ungal-
lantly intimated that she was lying.
Judge Robins being OIL the same opin-
ion, the case was continued until IL
clock this morning. At that hour
Judge Robins called Edna before him
and administered a stern rebuke, ad-
vising her to qiut flirting with other
Cinnamon and devote her entire at
tention to her husband. Defendant
was given a suspended sentence and
advised to leave town to avoid trouble,
the Judge intimating that unless he
did so he would be brought into court
and fined.
Wong Fook Chung, who has until
recently been employed as cook in a
local hotel, strongly objected to leav-
ing town, stating that he wishes to
engage in the restaurant business. He
also says that the statement published
in local paper to the effect that,
when arrested a murderous looking
knife was found in his possession, is
without foundation; that he was ar
rested down town and taken to his
room, where the knife was found in
his bed

GRAND JURY'S
final REPORT

At late hour Thursday afternoon
the grand jury submitted its final re-
port to Judge Orr and was excused for
the term. It is not likely it will be
called again this year. The report
follows:
1--WE, the grand jury Of Humboldt
county, beg leave to submit this our
final report:
eve have visited the several coun-
ty buildings; the county hospital was
found in good sanitary condition and
the inmates apparently well taken
care of and satisfied; the jail was
found in good sanitary condition and
the prisoners looked comfortably cared
for; the several rooms Of the court
house were visited; we find the Re-
eorder's office hampered for space and
recommend, as in previous last re-
port, that portion Of the rooms Of
the old county Jail and Sheriff's Of
fee be fitted and used as the Record
er's office; we recommend that the
remaining portion of the old county
Jail be fitted and used az an addition
to the District Attorneys office, for
the accommodation of witnesses while
waiting to be heard.
