A CHINAMAN ASSAULTED.

MYSTERIOUS SURROUNDINGS

The police are at present investigating regarding an assault which is alleged to have been made on Dong Chong at his shop in Broadway, about half-past ten o’clock last nigiit. The affair seems shrouded in mystery, and very little information is to bo extracted ' from Dong Chong himself, who, outside the bare fact that he asserts he was assailed by three men, who broke into his shop after he had retired, and carried him from his bed ■ to the road, where he, after a fierce struggle, beat them off, cannot say who his assailants were or what they ' were like. Other ChinesoOn the town profess to know nothing of the occurrence. Near the front door of Chong’s shop (a glass panel of which is broken) the marks of struggle were distinrtU visible this morning, and a quantity of blood was on the ground. It is asserted that Chong was seen bathing his battered face in the about eleven o’clock, ami a man was seen a little earlier to run towards the livery stable on the opposite, side. Sergeant McNceley was / very ■ early on the scene, and is doing his best to clear the matter up.
