es 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.
( 11 )
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.
Nearly all of the jewelry has since been
found buried in a stable adjoining Wing’s cabin.
