MURDER! MURDER!
One "Good" Chinaman and a Likelihood of
Several More Going to the Celestial Kingdom by the help of a Rope |
| The readers of the Free Press
will remember an account, published two weeks ago, of the mysterious
disappearance of a Chinaman from Mt. Idaho on Sept. 25th, and the
Chinese in that place and vicinity being much exercised
thereabout. The dead body of a Chinaman was found yesterday in a
canyon about a quarter of a mile back of Mt. Idaho, by a little boy,
with his skull fractured in 20 places, and his hands mangled fearfully,
as if he had been protecting himself from the deadly assault, which was
seemingly done with a hatchet, and all indications go to prove that he
was murdered by his compatriots while in his cabin and then carried to
the place where his decomposed body was found, as he was old and
indigent and dependent upon his fellow countrymen for support. The
inquest will be held this morning by Coroner S.E. Bibby and a jury
Full particulars next week.
