heavily that the stock of the gun was
broken off. This blow felled the poor
to the ground, but the man con-
,inued and struck him two or three
more blows with the barrel. These t
blows, as has been shown by the medi-
cal examination, fractured the skull of
the Italian. After he fell and lay there,
the rioters crowded around him. kicking
and beating him. The testimony shows /
that at one time two men got upon the |
poor wretch, one upon his body, and |
the other upon his head, and actually |
and jumped upon him for some |
mo nents. This was close to the burn |

became so intense that these fiends went |

man there in the scorching heat that
they themselves were unable to endure. |
When the building had burned down,
some of them went back, probably out of
mere curiosity. to see whether Church
was alive or not. He had life enough
left to moan out arequest for water, and

was a man of extraordinary vitality,
mustered up strength enough to crawl
out of the puddle, and fell over on his
face, dead. We refrain from any fur
ther description of such horrible scenes
of brutality. John Church was past all
help. His comrades managed, after re-
ceiving terrible beatings, and fearful in
juries, to get bevond the reach of the
rioters. One man reached Seceder Cor
ners with both arms broken. Another
reached the same place with injuries
that are expected to prove fatal.
third is reported missing and is supposed
to be lying dead somewhere in the
woods. The others escaped in different
directions with greater or less injuries.
Late OF Tuesday night the Coroner's
jury brought in verdict to the effect
that the Italian came to his death by
blows given by VIM. Parden, John Wat
son, John Neal, Alex. Hodge, Hugh
Trotter, VIM. Baxter, and others, known
and unknown to the jury. The dispo-
sition of the miners toward the Italians
is shown by the fact that two or three
weeks previous the house in which they
lived had been stoned so there was not
4 whole window in it, and none of the
Italians had dared to go outside of it for
fear of being stoned by the old miners,
who, it seems, were always on the alert
| to persecute them. And yet the Italians
were so patient under this treatment
that they made no complaint, and Mr..
| Morris. the manager of the works knew
nothing about their prosecutions until
last Saturday morning. =. On Saturday
forenoon, the 10Th ult., the body of
Daniel L. Williams, man siXty-fOur
years of age, and a resident of Hubbard
was found lying in a creek which crosses

north of Hubbard. No account of his
death can be obtained, except that he
was OH horse back, and when last seen
was turning from the creek for the pur-
pose of watering his horse. Whether he
fell from the horses back or was thrown
off cannot be known.
