As Chllllngworth went down the road
In question he found a Chinaman, a
Japanese and the colored watchman ot
the railroad property, biding In the
algeroba bushes. They were all armoJ
with clubs. The men told the Deputy
that a Porto Rlcan had Just robbed the
Japanese of $15. He bad threatened
the man with a knife and after taking
the money, had run down the Iwllel
load In the makal direction. Tin.
Chinaman, Tal Illng, who happened
to come along, tried to stop the rob

trio was walling in ambush for the
