Heathens Attack Fruit Man Who Had Broken a Compact. But for the interference of the police in Chinatown last night Louie Ong, who conducts a small fruit stand at the cor- ner of Clay street and Waverly place, might have been sent to the hospital at the hands of the Bing Gong Tong. A small-sized army of tong men attacked him and threatened many things when the strong arm of the law in the shape of Sergeant Campbell and his squad reached out and saved him. ° Ong’s troubles grew out of his decision to accepi a business offer that would profit him much coin. In doing so, how- ever, he would have to break faith on a previous contract and his lack of honor Some time ago on condition that he aroused the héathens’ ire. Ong recelved - $500 ner of the buiging and in such a position that it would olock the entrance to the ground ficor. The money was paid by the proprietors of a gambling club on the second floor who learned that an oppo- sition club was to be started on the ground floor. When the oppostion learned of this transaction they offered Ong $1200 to move his stand and the offer tempted the fruit m rely. At first he decided to stand original ment, but -later the | in his t ry kept him awake at night and he went to the upstairs gamblers and ked them to pay him $700 more to remain where he was. Hav- ing Ong's contract in their possession they indignantly refused -and the fruit man declared that he would accept the $1200 and cart his goods away. The Bing Gong Tcng, with which the | upstairs gamblers are friendly, heard the case and decided that Ong must be con- tent with the 3$50. To emphasize this they visited him with strong forces last night and until the arrival of the police a small riot was in progress.

After }}:earmz vidence the Judge dismissed the case. mlgrf:ldle testified that he and Roberts had been disputing about the ownership of some material, and Saturday afternoon Roberts invited him into his office to talk over the matter. Roberts became angry during their talk and ordered Priddle out of his office, and Whe)l;l P;rlddle refused he struck twice in the face. w?{sobé:.'!s denied striking Priddle. He or- dered him out of the office, and as he re- fused to go he hustled him out, he said, ! but did not strike him. There was a me- dium grade of profanity used. Priddle had told him that he had only jurisdic- tion within the walls of his office, which he considered insolent and offensive to his official_dignity, and that was why he had ordered him out. B. D. McGowen, a_special watchman, partly corroborated Roberts, and J. A. Kirk, assistant superintendent of con- struction, testified that he was in an ad- joining room and heard the quarrel be- tween Roberts and Priddle. The Judge said that the evidence tended | to corroborate Roberts, and he was satis- | fled Roberts only used what force was necessary to put Priddle out of his office. 4 Priddle had finished his business with g Roberts and should have left the office ] when requested.
