SAN FRANCISCO, September lI.-On
yesterday afternoon some persons who
were passing near Sargenps rancho,
about two miles from Rocklin, Placer
county, heard several pistol shots, and
as they approached the house saw two
men, who scaled the fence and ran
away. On entering the house, the
body OF Il Mrs, OdOr-- who, with her
husband aud Sargent, occupied the
premises-was found lying dead on
tho floor. She had been shot twice,
and her head split open with Nh axe.
An alarm was given, and a party
OF constables, aided by citizens, began
search. About iifty yards from the
house the body OF Mr. Odor was found.
He had three pistol shots in his body.
The party then followed the trail
OF the men who were seen to jump the
fence. Their tracks showed that they
wore Chinese shoes. Three>quarters
of mile from the house, In u clump
of willows, they found Sargent, who
was bleeding from wounds In the head
and body. He was conscious, and said
two Cinnamon had called at the house
shortly afternoon, aud desired to pur'
chase n certain mining claims from
him. He accompanied them TO the
claim, and while returning they shot
him five times in the body and head
and left him for dead. He said the as
sassins were from penryn, II neighbour
Ing village, one of them being a cook
at Grants boarding house near Pen
ryn quarries. He had received one
hundred and twenty dollars from an
other Chinaman, four days before, fol
mining claim, which was In his
trunk at home. He presumed the OBJ
ject of the murderers was TO obtain the
money.
The party followed the tracks of the
murderers to a Chinese cabin, near al
hand, where they captured three Chin
amen, one OF whom was In bed, but
perspiring freely, as though he had
been running, several other China
men living near by were arrested
One, who was much frightened, vol
unteered the information that All Sair
and All June had murdered Sargent
but would say no more. one OF TIT
prisoners had $l20 In his possession
and afterwards 1t was found that the
trunk in which Sarpent had deposite,
his money was cut open and robbed
Sargent died this morning.
Hundreds Of citizens Viewed TIN
dead bodies. The excitement became
intense during the day, and had thu
evidence against the prisoners beer
deemed conclusive they would have
been lynched. The cook at Grant
boarding house could not be found
though the country and towns fol
miles around had been secured in thu
pursuit.
This morning a meeting of citizenI
was held at Rocklin, and the Chimes
notified to leave the place by sil
O'Clock In the afternoon. Before fOu
o'clock the last man OF the Chinese
burdened by their baggage, filed out o
town, including those employed by th
railroad company, the prisoners benz
the only Chinese who remained. The.
were in no way molested by the ex
cited crowd. Az 6p. M. the citizen
marched to the Chinese quarter, ant
demolished all the buildings, twenty
five In number, including their store
the owner of which had moved hi
stock of goods.
At the inquest on the bodies of tn
murdered persons, to-day, the fact
were developed which led the sheril
to believe four of the Cinnamon II
custody were implicated In the mul
der. He ordered them removed to tn
county Jail, at Auburn. A crowd col
lected when the officers with thei
prisoners boarded the train, and tn
mutterings of the tie throng brok
, into exclamamations, such rs "Hay
them out" "Hang them" Arush wa
, made for the door OF the car and tn
7 sheriff and his deputies seized upon
| and but for fair showing Of pistol
by the officers and conductor OF til
train, the purpose of the mob woul
+ have been accomplished. The crow
/ finally drew back and the train move
, out of the station followed by the yell
4 OF the throng.
The coroner's jury I und that tn
murder of Sargent was committed b
All Sain, All June and another Chin,
man unknown. Sargent was All oil
and respected resident. Oder was
. Bavarian, and his wife had relation
: In Trenton, New Jersey. About eigt
F, o'clock this evening the building cor
nected with Chinese garden, about
e mile from Rocklin, was burned. Ii
I positively denied that the fire Wa
caused by the whites, and Is probabl
; that the premises we're abandoned an
e fired by the Chinese. Saloon keeper
D closed their places, or more serious n
r suits would have occurred.
