gold watch, which he wished to pawn. He then stated that his name was Au Sin, and that the watch was owned by Charley Wing. The China- men of the town state that Charley Wing is a hard case, and has long been ostracised from Chinese society. It is quite evident that he had a confederate, who probably got away with a part of the property. It is thought that Wing is the person who burglarized the Timmer house bar last week, and secured $28 and a few boxes of cigars. Some of the stuff stolen from Coal Oil Johnny’s place some two weeks ago, was also found amongst the plunder. It is the opinion of many that all of the robberies committed lately have been the work of this Chinaman and his pal.
