MURDER OF A CHINAwOMAN.-Nig

MURDER OF A CHINAwoMAN.-Night
before last, that prolific source of sell
sational items, Chinatown, was the
scene of the not very deep damnatiOn
of the taking off of the top of China
mans sconce-box by the discharge of
pistol shot in the hands of one of her
countrymen. 1t seems that party of
Celestials got into some sort Of quar-
rel and that pistols were drawn; and
that when one of them first baptised
the party with fire, ne made a wild
and unintentional shot which took eff
feet at the base of the brain of the un-
fortunate woman aforesaid, striking
the back of the head and tearing off
the skull in a most shocking manner.
This seems like treating very serious
subject with unseemly levity; but
what mockery of grief would it seem
to pretend to regret the death of SO
disgusting and degraded creature
as Chinese prostitute? Several Chi
namen were taken into custody yes
terday; but it is extremely doubtful if
the authorities succeed in fastening
this crime upon its actual perpetrator'
Following is the verdict of the Coron-
er's jury:
State of Nevada, County of Ormsby,
before II. Ii. Bence, Coroner. In the
matter ofthe inquisitiOn upon the body
OF the deceased, we the undersigned,

The Testimony in this case has been
kindly furnished us by Mr.. Bence, but
it is quite voluminous and our space
and time will not admit of its publica-
ton in our columns this morning.
We doubt, indeed, the propriety of
publishing so full evidence concerning
a case which has yet to be submitted
TO grand and petit jury in case the
suspected party, All Lin, is arrested,
The fact of the matter is, Chinatown
is simply nest of the worst class of
gamblers and cut-throats of the male
persuasion, and of women of the most
disgusting and degraded sort; and it
can hardly be expected that the desir-
ed reform will take place there until a
marked example be made of one or
more of their number. A little whole
some hanging would prove a most
salutary measure. 1t was rumOred
here last evening that All Lin had been
arrested at Reno. kilograms have
been freely sent to localities where he
Is known, aud it is hardly probable
that he can escape as he is a well known
among the Chinese sporting
fraternity. Il
