They immediately rushed to the scene, but the assailants had made their escape through the hall the roof of an adjoining house. Ah Nong stated that he did not know the names of his assailants, but they were all Hop Sing men and he thought he would be able to identify them. The two tongs have been at war since the shooting of Wong Ah Dong, a Hop Sing man. Last Monday the score was balanced by t shooting and killlng of Chew Chung Yet, a Sen Suey Yeng man. But the sHooting of Ah Nong again de- mands the life of another Hop Sing man, and more shooting is hourly expected in Chinatown.

A desire for a little more | gleep saved him from going along and perhaps meeting death with his friends. | Mr, Zeigfeld says: I crossed from New York with Mr. and Mrs Fair and went with them to the Hotel Ritz in Paris. Fournjer came there and wanted to sell Mr. Fair a new automobile. : have all the machines I want,” F. said Mr. | sald Fournler, | "I come over here every year,' sald Fair, | and buy a new machine, and when I get It to 1 don't want any San Francisco it's no good. more.

PARIS, Feb. 10.—The lawyers for the various parties interested in the estate of Charles L. Fair and his wife, who were Kkilled in an automobile accident in France, are reticent about the latest suit brought by relatives of Mrs, Falr to have the agreement made' some time ago set aside because, it is claimed, Fair died before his wife and therefore she inherited his eBtate. It is learned from a trustworthy source, however, that Dr. Perriquet, who was called at the time of the accident, and keepers of the lodge at Pacy-sur- Kure, declare Mrs. Fair outlived her hu: band by half an hour. Two other per- sons who are now in Paris are of similar opinion. This makes flve witnesses in all in favor of the latest contention of the relatives of Mrs, Fair. Sandow Invitation Lecture.

Braunhart point- ed out that the compa: statement | showed that but $97 43 was spent for ad- | vertising and asked if the difference rep- | resented the cost of trustees’ meetings. | Howard promised to furnish an itemized | | statement of the expenses.

Kellogg sald | that he and Herrin had no connection | | with such ittigation. Kellogg said he was | the attortiey of the Suburban Water Com- | pany prior to | 1 Valley Water Company, but he had never | examined a title for the first named com- pany. Braunhart called attention to the employment of a man as land agent at $275 per month and held that the item should not be charged to operating ex- penses. Exception was also taken to a charge of $130 to pay a man who collects land rents. Howard said that none of Bchussler’s salary was charged to con- | struction account, although his services were in demand in the building of new improvements. The petition of Charlées Wesley Reed that he be allowed to ask certain ques- tions of the Spring Valley Company at the next meeting was granted.
