Fear More Trouble.

San Francisco, March 22-ln a
new outbreak of a Chinese tong war,
five Chinese are dead. The trouble
started simultaneously here, at Oak
land, Antioch and Sacramento. Ten
tongs are involved throughout the
state.
Two Amercanized Chinese entered
the store of Tom Lung, here and shot
him Use Chow Wo also was killed
here.
One Chinese was killed in Sacra-
mento, one at Antioch, Oakland and
one at Sacramento.
Chief of Police White has issued an
order to Sergeant Layne of the Chi
natown brigade to put an end to the
tong fighting at any cost, as the peace
agreement Of the tongs has been vi
olated and they are entitled to no
consideration.
The present outbreak is due to a
feud of the Bing Kong tong and the
Com Lorn Lee Sor tong.
Shue May, a slave girl, was taken
by the Bing Kongs in payment for a
gambling debt. The Sor tong captur-
ed the girl as she was about to sail
for China on the steamer Manchuria
and turned her over to Miss Donald
son Cameron of the Chinese Presby-
terrain mission
The Bing Kongs then tried to gain
possession of Shue May by swearing
out a robbery complaint
The case was called this afternoon
and a heavy guard of police was on
hand when they appeared in police
court.

HIGH ATHLETES HEAR
CALL OF SPRINGTIME
Starting Training on Track
For Summer Program
of Sports

With the first warm days of spring
at hand, the high school athletes
have abandoned the gymnasium ana
are disporting themselves in abbre-
Waited attire on the track at Round
up Park. With only three or four of
last years point winners absent from
the squad this year, prospects are ex-
ceedingly bright for track team of
high calibre and the school does not
intend to hadnicap itself by lack of
training and preparation.
Under the direction of Coach As
bahr, the boys are now only accus-
toming themselves to the outdoor
work but within a week or so will be
down to hard training. The cross
country race which has been an an
nual event of the spring training, will
be foregone this year, the boys de-
Gliding that the heavy strain encoun-
tered works detrimentally to some of
the weaker athletes. Instead an in
terclass relay race, with each par
ticipant running mile, is being ar
ranged and will probably be held in
a couple of weeks.
Among the men who viii be relied
upon this year to take points in the
various meets are Gordon, the crack
sprinter, Fee. hurdler and jumper,
Jordan, weight man, Hampton, Haw
and Strain, middle distance men,
and Jarvis, a freshman who showed
speed last year in the grade schools.
The schedule has not yet been
completed but the boys are assured
of one big meet, that of the eastern
Oregon association which is to be
held in Baker. The Whitman inter-
scholastic meet has been abandoned
this year but it is probable that the
local school will be represented in
the o. a. c. and Oregon meets.

BISHOP BURTON.

Bishop L. W. Burton, of the
Episcopal church, held services and
preached in the NJ. E. Church, this
city, on Monday night last to a very
large and intelligent audience.
The sermon is pronounced by all
who heard it splendid effort, one
of the best in every respect they
ever heard. 1t was grand in con-
ception, grand in composition and
magnificent in its delivery. II was
heard with rapt attention from the
exordium to its fitting close. Bishop
Burton's scholarship, his eloquence,
his fautless diction and splendid
voice make him a most captivating
speaker. Following the sermon
Miss Kate Freese sang solo in her
own delightful way.
During his stay in Louisa Bishop
Burton was the guest of DR.. and
Mrs. Wroten.

a Cincinnati girl was visiting
in Augusta, KY, about three years
ago, and while there she slipped on
the street and injured a knee. She
brought suit for damages, claiming
there was hole in the sidewalk.
In the Federal Court at Covington
she was awarded Judgment for
$4,000. There is scarcely brick
sidewalk in the city of Louisa that
has no holes or bad places, almost
any of which is sufficient to cause
q pedestrian to fall. At the inter-
section of Lady Washington and
Main streets there are two holes.

ficiently wide to admit two legs of
a horse. These holes have been
there ten days or more, with moth

couple of sticks. Anyone injured
by these bad sidewalks or these pit
falls can obtain judgment against
the city for damages. Why does
the city take the risk?

Ed. Wellman,

After an Illness of several weeks
young Ed. Wellman, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charter Wellman, of this city,
succumbed to the rayages of typhoid
fever .on last Saturday evening.
The funeral services were conduct
ed at the Christian church by the
pastor, the Rev. C. NJ Summers on
Monday afternoon, and were largely
attended, the church not being large
enough to accommodate all who
sought this occasion TO manifest
their sympathy for the parents and
kindred OF the dead boy. Interment
followed in the Fulkerson ceme-
terry,
The deceased was in his eigh-
teenth year and was an excellent
young man. Not long before his
sickness he had gone to Pikeville
to work at his trade of printer,
and It is thought that he contracted
fever while there. About a week
after his return to Louisa he be-
gan to complain of feeling bad.
This continued for week when he
went to bed. sick OF the malady,

NO NEED or PANIC.

The interview with Gov. McCre-
airy, published in The Times of Sat
urday concerning the appropria-
tions made by the General Assembly
should put quietus on the notion
that Kentucky is about to go into
bankruptcy.
That the General Assembly has
been liberal in its appropriation for
education is not to be denied. That
II would have been far better for
the State had this policy been in
augurated years ago, is not open 10
intelligent dispute. AS to the other
appropriations approved by the Gov
ernor, his statement makes 1t clear
that they have been carefully con-
sidered by him and by the General
Asst .nbly and the State, in virtually
every instance, will get a full return
on its Investment No more could
be asked.
The bank examiners law, instead
OF imposing cost of $4,000 a
year ON the taxpayers, will not cost
them cent, although 1t gives to
every depositor an assurance of Sc
curity heretofore unknown. Ten
thousand dollars year is a small
sum to pay for State supervision in
the building of roads. 1t would
have been wise economy had the
cost been $4,000 with State aid
the result,
The Times believes that it would
have been better both for the party
and the State had the prisons
been taken out Of politics and all
questions of administrative policy
now essentially partisan in their
nature been removed from the at
mosphere OF political patronage. but
when IL comes to a conservative,
common sense administration of the
States business affairs and edl-
eational interests. Gov. McCreary's
judgement can safely be trusted,
Through the joint acts of the
Governor and the General Assembly
Kentucky is at last headed in the
direction OF material development
and progress. The goal lis not TO
be reached without cost. AS the
old negro preacher said to his col-
gregation: 1T am true bredren and
sistren. dat de watahs NV life is
free, but somebody is got ter pay
fur de hydrant. Louisville Times.
