The gang started down Geary Stroet, frightening women and children with their wild cries, shoving men off the sidewalk, and indulging the wildest species of In- dian yells. On the south side of Geary Street, above Powell, is a Chinese wash house, with large glass windows and doors. In five minutes after these wretches rushed into the place the establishment was com- pletely gutted every pane of glass was broken, the doors wrenched from their hinges; the clothes which had just been washed trampled under foot, and every article of every description broken to pieces: had The inmates, apprised of their danger, already fled and thus saved themselves.
