A Disturbance in Chinatown

Chinatown was thrown into an uproar late last evening by Ah Bong, a cook, who had taken too much liquor and proceeded to make his countrymen stand around, after the manner of an American desperado. He took possession of the sidewalk on Washington street, just east of Fifth, and drawing a revolver flourished it around in most alarming style, at the same time threatening to shoot everybody in sight. The frightened Chinamen huddled together against a building and scarcely dared to move until Officer C. Baldus took the drunken man in charge. At police headquarters Ah Bong was intractable, and strongly demurred to being searched. His revolver, a gold watch and a small sum of money were taken from him and he was locked up to recover from the effects of the liquor. Before he went out he had dressed himself in his best clothes and looked like a man daring. Tong Sin, a laundryman, was booked as a witness.
