  Another chapter was added this week to the now famous Chinese smuggling case at Gulfport, which the Governor has been working upon and weaving a net the past 2 or 3 weeks.

 

  Deputy Collector of Customs Ritnour was authorized to seize the sloop "LITTLE DEER" of Bay St. Louis and the property of Fred Vassalli, also of Bay ST. Louis.

 

  The sloop it is charged carried Chinamen from Cat Island to the main shore and the little vessel is now anchored near the schooner "AXEL" off Carroll Avenue, with Ben Lane Posey in charge.

 

  While Fred Vassalli is the owner of the sloop, he is not charged by the Federal authorities as being implicated in the smuggling case nor does the seizure of his vessel necessarily connect him in the alleged smuggling of the Chinamen from Mexico to Gulfport.
