Chinese Artist Slain by Tong.
Oakland, Cal., Nov. 4.—Yee Kee, a Chinese crayon artist, was shot to death

last night in his room here. The assassin escaped. The police believe some

member of the On Yick tong is responsible for Yee Kee’s death as a member

of the Yee family was also killed in San Francisco last night. The feud between

the Yee family and the tong had its origin over the elopement of Wo Que, a

slave girl belonging to the Yee family.
