Selume to Defraud Wong Wo Came to Naught For way that are dork and tricks thai are vain the heathen Chlneso Is peculiar. Bert Hurte's familiar lines find special adaptation to a case in which Ju Guy holds the pinaele. Ju Is well known in Astoria as a success ful merchant and labor contractor. Through some gymnastic giratlons In Chinese nomenclature Ju Guy was known equally as well under the name of Wing Lee. For a long time Ju con ducted hi store here and made money, swelling his gains by supplying suit able blocks of his countrymen to local canneiymen to woik during the can ning season. Matters went along hand somely In the affairs of Ju until the advent of the combine and then his fortunes wuned. Many of the canner ies having been closed down under the new regime Ju could no longer make nis bread by the sweat of the other fellow's brow. And so he sought a mor-! promising Meld up on the Sound. Piu Ju found he was a bit light In the pocket and, upon telling his trou bles to a countryman named Wrong Wo, obtained $100 Wong Wo had been tolling faithfully for years in the distinguished capacity of porter for Attorney C. H. Page and could spare the mony to his bosom friend. But now Wong Wo has lost that abid ing faith in his former friend and de clares that Ju Guy, son of Chang, eon Tong. Is likewise a "son-of-a-gun for he has never seen the glitter of that $4oO since It disappeared within tho folds of Ju's blouse. He assigned the claim to Attorney Page for col lection, with a view to attaching the contents of Ju's store. Ju evidently got wind of It, for it was discovered yesterday morning that work wa un derway of moving all of the stock. Deputy Sheriff Prael nipped this plan hi the bud, however, by driving out tho Celestials and taking charge pf the property. And now, unless Ju shows up w ith a $100 smile, the goods will be ''knocked down" by the sheriff nnd Wo will get his money. , 10 cents aa4 25 cents, at all drag it area. i I WHAT WE S4Y WE'LL CO WE CO DO i 1 TO US....

First Mate of the Cement Passes Away at the Hospital. ! A dispatch was received from Port- hind at n Idnight stating that William Kirk, first mate on the American snip Clarence S. Bement, had died at lhe hospital there from the effects of the Injuries he received In the murderous assault made upon him on' board the vessel Tuesday night. The details of the crime are among the most horrible In Portland annals. I Kirk's body was found In the cabin' yesterday morning, hi head horribly! btuten ar.d his body badly bruised and bleeding the floor being covered wiih blood Mowing from his wounds. I Kirk was In charge of the vessel. He had $404 of his own money and was keeping some cash for several mem- j ter sof the crew, the total amount In Ms possession being J630. Not a cent1 of this sum can be found. The missing boatswain is suspected, j This man Is said to belong to Larry, Sullivan's boarding house, and was en- I gattod here, but, owing to difficulties ' with the crew, had been discharged. I KlrU and the boatswain were quite frie'idly nnd Tuesday evening wers to- sether until 8 o'clock, at which hour; tho boatswan was seen to leave the' ship. At 10 o'clock a seaman saw j Kl:-k, and that was the last seen of , him until the discovery of his uncon-' sclous form yesterday morning, when ! tha etoUflrln.nl in fnrrv Vt I m a pun of coflee. One Important circumstance pointing to inur.i.er Is that the door of Kirk's cabin was linked from the outside. ASTORIA BOTS BEATEN. Portland Bowlers Took Four Straight Games Last Night.
