On Tuesday morning Ilartell Went up

tcrcation cnsued between him and the Chi
namen, in regard to turning out the water
Shortly after All Sing was shot-thc bal

back of his head. lie died almost instantly
There are contradictory reports as to the cir.
cumstanccs and rs to who tho aggrcssor
was. Martell fired two sllots-all that were
In the pistol. The Chinese, several in
number, then turned loose with their
weapons, and Martell run for Blackfoot,
going up the gulch. The noise aroused
another Chinese company up the gulch
when finding he was headed, Martell took
70 the hills, divcsting himself Of his gum
boots, while running. and reached Black
foo. barefoot and nearly exhausted, thu
whole band Of Chinese chasing him nearly
to the town limits, and some 30 or 40 SHOT:

also some 10 or - Chinese who were held

II appears this is the third trouble there
has occurred in relation to this same water

bought the Cra,g ground, the qnc stion Of
"prior right" to water is in dispute. and
led to the ARRAY. Mr.. Martell is highly

her before this case commenced
The Surrogate here interpOsed, and said that he
would not allow any aspersions on the character OF
Miss Weston. There was no foundation for 1t, and
questions concerning her were quite irrelevant. He
would rule out all the evidence in which her name
was mentioned

close the testimony in this case this week. The
court then adjourned to this morning at ten O'Clock
