FIESDIsH MuRDER OF CHISAMAS BT SEvER-
Al OF Hrs TEIBE.-on Sunday afternoon, Sill

OF the killing. as the Chinese of that portion

that the white men in the vicinity had no time

found on his body, any one of which would
have caused death. A king-bolt, covered with
cloth, was foand. The murderers escaped,
and although many arrests have been made,
1t Is not positively known if the right parties
