Chief Engineer Leeble of the North
ern Pacific Brewery signaled an ap
proaching street car yesterday. Intend
ing to board It for a run Into the down
town section of the city. The motorman
falling to observe his gesturing, Mr.
Leable attempted to clambei' aboard as
It whirled swiftly past him. The result
was that Mr. Leable waa struck by the
car and thrown with vlolenco to the
ground. That he escaped Injuries other
than bruises Is providential, us the
accident happened at a point where but
little space Intervened between the
track and a deep-reaching drop from
the sidewalk.
"I spent an hour or two In the Chi- (
nese quarter yesterday," said Chief
of Police Hallock, "and It aurprlsed me
to learn how anxious the celestials
are to purchase a great dragon for
Astoria. I talked with one of the
merchants, a fellow who speaks Eng- ;
llsh duontly, and he Informed me that
the residents down there would contrib- i
ute liberally to this end, and that an
uptown business man had guaranteed ;
to subscribe one hundred dollars In ,
case the balance of the money was j
raised to secure It. "I might say, too,
that Harry Hamblett, lust previous to i
sailing for San Francisco, told me that
he knew of a person who would donate
fifty dollars In the same direction. My
Informant also enlightened me regard
ing the subject In a way that hereto
fore has been little understood. He
says that' the Marysvllle, California,
serpent which he displayed in the re
gatta parade last year, was the only
one In the United States until a short
time ago,' when the Chinese of Los An
geles bought a monster dragon for that
city. There is something peculiar con
cerning this reptile, which Is sacred to
the Mongolians, and of which the
Americans have no knowledge. One
thing, however, la certain. This creep
ing rarity must come direct from the
home country. They want none of your
country. They want none of your
loful productions."
