CHAPTER OF MISuAPS.

CHAPIER OF MISuAPS.
FATAL ACCIDENT.-An accident occurred las,
Thursday on the road short distance this sid.
of Gold Hill, which resulted in the death o. Hang
koy, the chief among the ceestials of this place.
and seriously injuring two other Chinamen The
! body of Hang Koy was brought to Auburn, on
the same day, and placed in charge of Coroner
SWEET, who at once summoned II Jury and pro-
ceeded to hold an inquest. AS we 90 to press
the examination is not concluded, but from the
evidence so far elected the particulars seem to
be about as follows. Hang Koy with too other
Cinnamon. were going down the long grade this
side of Gold Hill, in a one-horse wagon, all three
sitting on one seat. From some cause, it seems,
the horse became unmanageable, aud run So
near the edge of the grade, that the wagon tipped
over, and the three Cinnamon were thrown, head
first, down the bank. tremendous hole
cut to the brain, in the top of Hang Koys head
leads to the conclusion that his head must have
struck against sharp cornered rock in the fall
1t Is reported that another Chinaman got his leg
broken, and the third received bruises
in the small of the back When white men
reached the scene of the catastrophe from Gold
sc'ous. They at once procured light wagon
and sent him to Auburn, and it is said he lived
until within two or three miles of town. As we
said above, Hang Koy has long been the recog-
nized leader of the Chinese of this town He
was quite wealthy; ownedin great many China
stores in different parts of the county; has large
establishment here, and was heavy stockholdei
in the Iowa Hill Canal and other large enter
prises in the county. His loss will be heavily
felt by the Chinese of this town and county and
the Mclean" men would be much better off. il
all the other Chinese in the lntry had died
instead of this one. There is some tte susp-
cion, on the part of the Chinese, that his death
not accident, hence the reason of the
critical and continuous examination on the part
of the Coroner We give the above as the drift
of the evidence thus far. What subsequent testi.
mony may develope we don't pretend to say.
Since the above was in type. the jury has rem
lered a verdict accordance with the evidence.
The suspicion of the Cinnamon was unfounded.
SAD AccIDENT.-E. T. Loving, very estima-
bic citizen, who resides at Mllertown about
mile and half from Auburn, met with sad ac-
cldent at the st. Patrick mill, week ago last
Friday. He was engaged in hauling wood to the
MILL and while standing at the hind-end of the
wagon unloading, the team gave a sudden start
throwing him off his balance and causing him to
iall to the ground. 1t seems his side struck on "A
rock or stick of wood, breaking in rib fal
enough to puncture the kidney slightly. doc
tor WAS summoned immediately who found Mr..
Loving very low, and in some danger from inter
nal hemorrhage. Now, after the lapse of u week.
we are pleased to say that by attentive nursing
and skilled medical aid, he is in a fair way to IL
speedy recovery.
FooT BALL is becoming quite the rage with
boys of Auburn. And,as may be expected from
such game i'll n city like this, where the streets
narrow and crowded, windows are in con-
slant jeopardy. There has been perhaps less
