The  EnterpriseOn  Friday  of  last  week  the  hardware  estab- 
lishment of  John  B.  Card  was  forcibly  entered 
and  about  $150  worth  of  fine  cutlery  stolen, 
together  wTith  a number  of  watches  left  with 
W.  J.  Foley  for  repairs,  some  of  which  were 
very  valuable.  Not  having  a safe  Mr.  Foley  was 
in  the  habit  of  putting  his  watches  in  a box  at 
night  and  placing  it  for  safe-keeping  among 
the  numerous  other  boxes  of  the  various  shelves, 
seldom  putting  it  in  the  same  place  twice.  The 
robbery  was  a mystery  to  the  officers,  and  it 
appeared  that  no  clue  was  obtainable.  How- 
ever, some  time  previous,  Jake  Helde’s  place 
had  been  robbed  of  some  cigars,  and  Jake 
casually  mentioned  to  Mayor  Fleming  that  he 
though  the  work  had  been  done  by  a Chinaman 
formerly  in  his  employ.  Fleming  and  Card  im- 
mediately started  for  Chinatown,  and  as  luck 
had  it,  when  about  to  enter  a certain  joint,  they 
met  Charley  Wing,  who  excited  their  suspicions 
by  his  actions.  They  searched  him  and  found 
on  his  person  one  of  Card’s  boxes  with  twelve 
or  fourteen  watches.  Wing  was  placed  under 
arrest,  and  stated  that  the  watches  had  been 
given  him  by  Au  Sin.  The  latter  could  not  be 
found,  and  it  is  thought  by  the  officers  that  he 
left  town  the  morning  after  the  robbery  with  a 
part  of  the  plunder.  And  yet  it  is  possible  that 
there  is  no  such  person  as  Au  Sin,  as  Wing  had 
been  to  L.  D.
