RICHELIEU STOCK IN SHERIFF’S POSSESSION Everything Movable An Saloon Is| Carted Away to Satisfy an Attachment. The Tow over the possession of the Richelieu saloon still goes merrily on. | Several of Sheriff Lackmann's deputies | pounced down upon the cafe yesterday | forenoon and with a moving van they packed away 2ll the stock and, in fact, everything movable in the place. This was done as a result of the attachmert placed on the stock of the saloon Thurs- day by Contractor Marks. Herbert Choynski, who has been in pos- session of the place for the last few days, refused to raise the attachment and al- lowed the law to take its course. Soon “wet goods’ and glassware and other sa- loon fixtures, another big van moved up to the door gnd commenced to unload case after case Of liquor until the saloon was completely restocked. These goods, =0 Choynski claims, were simply consigned to him by different wholesale houses and cannot in any way be attached by people who have claims against the firm. Whether or not this contention -will hold good remains to be seen. —_—— Architectural Club Entertains.

OF CIGAR MAN WITH A ROBBER s PLUCKY CIGAR MERCHANT WHO SUCCESSFULLY BAT- TLED WITH BOLD FOOTPAD. 4 W LEATHERS, a cigar-dealer, had a desperate battle for his life with a highwayman about 11 Q o'clock Tuesday night. The struggle took place in front of Leathers’ home at 410 Third street. Al- though Leathers is quite an elderly man he pluckily disarmed the robber of a re- volver. By his bravery, Leathers saved $500 in coin and several hundred dollars | worth of valuables that were in his pos- session. The attempted holdup was re- ported to the police. Leathers closed his place of business about 10:30 o'clock, and with $300 in coin and several rings, studs and a watch in his pockets, started for his home In the rear of a millinery store conducted by his wife at 410 Third street.

To-morrow evening he will leave f8r Los Angeles on | general appraisement work and will then return to San Francisco to finish his busi: ness here. He is accompanied by United States Consul_A. H.

In an interview he said: In my official capacity I am compelled to travel over the United States. 1 arranged with the other members of the testimony in the cases in California, wished to spend by summer vacation herc. A general appraiser visits all the ports in the United States, deciding the merits of ap- | peals of importers who feel that they have been charged too high a duty by the Collector of the Port.

For a moment Leathers stood speechless and undecided as to how to act. When a second command to make haste was made Leathers jumped for- ward and seized the robber by the wrist. A struggle ensued and although Leathers battled against heavy odds he bravely | clung to the robber and prevented him from using -the revolver. robber, who was strong and heavily built, cursed Leathers roundly and tried to turn the barrel of the revolver on him. £ The struggle lasted for a short time and as Leathers was breaking the robber’s grip on the revolver the latter remarked: “Let me have the gun and we will cail square.” Leathers was taking no chances, however, and continued the bat- tle. & The noise of the struggle attracted the attention of Mrs. Leathers, who was read- ing in a room in the rear of the store. At the sound of footsteps approaching the door, the robber hesitated for a mo- ment and Leathers, taking advaatage of the opportunity, knocked the revolver _o the ground. The highwayman immediate- Iy made a dash for the street and Leath- ers, without waiting to recover the re- volver, gave chase. Leathers says several men were stand- ing in front of a saloon near by and many pedestrians were passing along thie street at the time of the holdup. ““I would have called them to my assistance,” sald Leathers when he exhibited his skinned knuckles at police headquarte *“had it not been that the daring of the robber took my speech away. A sudden impulse prompted me to seize his pistol hand and after that. realizing that he was tirying to murder me, 1 thought of nothing more than to baitle for the possession of the weapon. Several men and a policeman joined me_in the chase after the fellow. but we lost track of him on Bryant street.” ! | k3 3 ———— Rock Island Route Excursions T.eave San Francisco every Wednesday and Sunday, via Rio Grande and Rock Island Rail- | ways, and via Los Angeles and El Paso every Sunday and Tuesday. via Southern Pacific and Rock Island Railways, for Omaha, Kansas City, Chicago and all points East.

Among the arrivals at.the Occidental Hotel is Dr. Yung Wing from the Orient. He has the distinction of being the first Chinaman to receive a degree from an | American University, he having gradu- ated from Yale in 1554 He has been in China for several years, although he considers Hartford, Conn., his home, where he has a handsome res- idence. He says he is here on a private mission, whether on behalf of the Chinese Government or not, he refuses to say. Dr. Wing probably is the best known Chinaman in the United States. He was admitted to American citizenship in 1852 | He has made great efforts to educate the better class of Chinese in American ways. ‘With the assistance of the late Li Hung Chang, he collected one hundred and thir- ty: e young men from the best families in China and brought them to this coun- try to be educated, the Chinese Govern- ment defraying their expenses. He es- tablished for these boys a magnificent home at Hartford, Conn., and they were soon deep in study. A new Chinese Em- bassador was appointed to this country and Dr. Wing acted as his assistant. A Dr. Wu was sent from China to take care of the boys, but it is said that he caused trouble on his arrival. The students went home, most of them not even waiting to graduate from any of the eastern col- leges. : About three years ago Dr. Wing, while staying at New Haven, was called upon by a countryman. This man claimed he bore letters appointing Dr. Wing to a high government position if he would re- turn to China. Dr. Wing and the China- man left for China from this city on the steamer Gaelic. On the arrival of Dr, in China he was arrested charged with being a sympa- thizer with the revolutionary movement to dethrone the Emperor. It is generally supposed, however, that Dr. Wing was arrested at the instance of Prince Ching, who thought that he would pay a bi; ransom to'secure his freedom. Dr. Win, was placed in a temple and there terribly tortured.. He bribed one of his guards to take a message to an American friend in Peking. This friend, dressed as a Chi- namany went to the temple and at the pistol point compelled Dr. Wing’'s guards to_release hi Dr. Wing would not discuss his arrest, and to all questigns replied that he was too ill to be interviewed. He will leave for the East this week. Receives Street-Paving Contract. Bids were received yesterday at the Board of ‘Public Works for the repairs of public streets.
