A HORRIBLE TORTURE.


A gentleman passing through Chinatown
Sunday evening, had his attention at
tracted by the sound of stiied groans issu-
ing from one Of the shanties just north of
Clark street. Curiosity led him to peep
through one Of the cracks of the building,
and he was somewhat astonished to see q
Chinaman trusscd up against the wall,
gagged, and securely bound. His feet we're
tied together, and a rope around each
wrist run up over one Of the scantling,
holding him securely, and in q position
that precluded either movement or resist
ance. He was entirely naked, and around
him were four barbarians, one a female,
who were engaged in the delightful amuse-
ment Of prodding the victim with sharp
sticks, beating him and otherwise torment
ing the poor devil. Being gagged be could
make no ound beyond a groan, and it was
evident that the devils were infiicting a
most horrible punishment on him. The
g~entleman's compassion was excited, and
coming down town he procured assistance.
Returning, the party were refused admit
tauce, but they gained an entrance by
summarily kicking down the door. The
Cinnamon, evidently alarmed by the in
t%rusion, had unbound the sufferer, and he
had fallen to the floor in a lead faint. The
brutes were voluble in explanations, stat
ing that he was belly bad China
man, all same thief, steal money" etc.
Then they skulked away, leaving the white
men in possession. The victim was COW
cred with blood and great welts, aud was
in a bad way, but came to after q while.
When he was sufficiently restored to talk,
he said in broken English that he owed the
boss OF the shanty Sl1, which he could not
pay, and he was to be killed for the debt.
He resumed his clothes, which were lying
in a corner, accompanied the men down
town, and announced his intention OF get
ting out Of Eureka as fast as possible, an
intention that he probably carried into
effect at once, as he has not been seen since
that time. 1t wac q very cruel and high
handed proceeding, and proved conclu-
sively that the heather have a code OF laws
and punishments Of their own, a system
entirely independent of the statutes of Ne
vada.

port.

superintendent PowelI's Official Re-
The following is the official letter Of Su-
perintendent Powell, forwarded to the
Company's Office at San Francisco on the
9th inst:
d. A. JENNINGS, Secretary-Dear Sir !:
Since my last report the upraise from
the end Of drift so feet below 200-foot
level has been connected with the drift
above, no change to note in appearance of
ore body. Upraise above 250-foot level
continues in good ore. The top Of the
raise is now some 40 feet above the bottom
of the old works, and about 20 feet farther
east, which shows ii to be a separate vein
Of ore to that which we followed down in
the old works of south shaft.
The 450-foot level-Main south drift
was advanced Is feet, making a total OF
AS feet from turn-table, which leaves 50
feet to run before being under the winze
from 250-foot level: The face Of the drift
is in broken limestone stained with ron.
Ore bodies below 450-foot level show but
little change.
The GOO foot level-Face of drift still in
hard limestone. 1t is now in 100 feet from
station.
We shipped during the week to the fur
mace So. LAB. SO worth Of ore.
Truly yours,
J. G. POWELL, Supt.

with the public. He was a universal IA
vorite, his urbanity, accommodating dis
position and care for the comfort Of those
who travelled with him, having made him
very popular, and there probably is no
person in the community who possesses
more warm personal friends. The scene
at his bedside yesterday was a pitiful one.
The poor girl, who was to have been led TO the
altar in a short time, was constant in her
attendance, and hung over the couch en-
deavoring to console the sufferer and
soothe the agonies that was racking his
frame. At times her feelings oyercame
her, and she was taken away by kind
friends, who also were present, extending
aid and sympathy.
Mr.. Kicker had q brother working for
the Railroad Company at Palisade, and
Superintendent Everts dispatched a special
train to bring him to Eureka. He arrived
about ~ O'Clock yesterday, and has been
with the wounded man ever since.
Everything that can be lone to ease the
suffering Of Mr.. Kicker, both in the way of
medical aid and careful nursing, is being
rendered, but the physicians hold out no
hopes OF his recovery, are OF the
opinion that death is imminent.
There will be no examination held Of
Chartz until such time as the termination
Of the case can be safely predicted. Messrs.
Sabin & Bishop have been retained as
counsel for defense, and Messrs. Wren Il
Thornton will assist District Attorney
Merrill in the prosecution.
LATER.
After the above was written, and ut
twenty minutes to eleven O'Clock last even
ing, Edward Kicker drew his last breath.
He was unconscious for an hour before he
died. and, save a labored breathing, passed
away without a struggle. His b~etrothed,
Miss Herring, was at his side, as was also
his brother, and a number OF his most in
innate friends gathered around the bed
side and watched the fame flicker in the
socket and ex pire. Deceased was a native
Of Detroit, Maine, and was just so years of
age. He has a father and mother residing
at his birth place. A telegram was sent to
them yesterday, notifying them Of the
occurrence, and a dispatch, containing the
news OF his death, will be forwarded this
morning. lie has been a resident Of this
coast for q number Of years, a greater por-
ton Of the time in the employ Of the Cen
trail and Southern Pacific Railroads, and,
about two and a half years since, accepted
a position on the Eureka and Palisade
Railroad, where he has remained up to the
day Of his death. The funeral will take
place from Odd Fellows Hall, at 5 O'Clock
this afternoon.

Donkey Race.
A grand donkey race took place yester-

time. The bet was that J. P. could not
ride the beast q distance Of one mile inside
OF six minutes, the wager being $40 a side.
Hank knight measured off the course with
a tape line, and the start was made from a
point up the canyon near Dick Ryland's
residence. Ennis mounted his stoed and
came down the road. not exactly like q
whirlwind, but at a gait that astonished
the beholders. He would have won the
money but for one unfortunate mistake.
The outcome was placed at the corner, and
the obstinate brute, who was ahead Of
time all the way, halted at the store Of the
proprietor, and no persuasion could induce
him to pass until the time was up. The
event created much amusement and was
witnessed by a vast crowd, where hilarity
over the sport knew no bounds.

n Well Kao,s,a Chicago House Goes into
Other Failures.
CHICAGO, Jan 21.-Benjamin v. Page and
William Sprague, constituting the wholesale
glass, paint and oil firm of Page & Sprague,
filed voluntary petition in bankruptcy to-
day. Secured liabilities $4,000, with secu-
cities of $104, 900, quoted as worthless; unse-
cured debts $4,000. Liabilities on bills
discounted $116,5O assets $4,000 in lands
and $4,000 in personal property and stock.
Page are 1854 900; assets $4,000. Spragues
liabilities are $11 600; no valuable assets.
Samuel Bliss & Co., grocers, filed a volun-
tary petition to-day; secured debts $4,000;
unsecured $11 400. Assets, stock, notes and
accounts, $4,000. Bliss individual debts
were $1,000; no assets. Topliff, another
member of the firm, had secured debts of
$4,000 and assets of $4,000. Both these
firms have been suspended for some weeks.
NEW YORK, Jan 21.-Waterhouse Bros,
WOODEN manufacturers of Passaic, N. j., have
failed. Their liabilities are thought to be
100000; nominal assets $4,000. The de-
preston af business and shrinkage Of values
are assigned as the cause.
New YORK, Jan. 21.-In the suit of Adolph
Schalk, stakeholder of the Brewers and
Masters insurance Co., for dissolution of
the company, decree was filed to-day APP
pointing Peter zimmerman to wind up the
business.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan, 21.-Regarding the
failures to-day, E. Stokes, of the firm of E.
& G. Stokes, importers of goat-skins, states
he is advised by counsel to make an assign
ment, which he will probably do tomorrow.
Stokes says the firms which have suspended
are largely indebted to tbs house of E. & c.
Stokes, which is one of the heaviest import
ers in the city in foreign hides and skins. It
is rumored here that two firms in Newark
engaged in the same business have or are
about to suspend.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 21.-The failure OF
three houses here in the morocco and goat
skin trade, and the failure of manufactur-
ing firm at Wilmington, Del, causes excite
ment. The total liabilities are said to exceed
half million of dollars; assets unknown.

cations ranging between 200 and 600 miles,
Capt. Davidson is the lowest bidder. Coui-
sons bid for officers is also the lowest, while
Davidson underbids him for men and an
imals.
: The Yellowstone transportation Company
assert that, last season, at least nine-tenths
OF the business done was within the limits of
over 800 and less than 500 miles, and upon
tins fact base their claim of being now the
lowest bidder,
This, they say, will be the case
the coming season, from the very
necessities of the Indian situa-
ton IN that region, upon the upper Missouri.
They also assert that their bid was largely in
favor Of the government from the fact that
on men and animals the cost of transporta-
ton as set down in their bids would be much
less than that of Coulson, while on the mat
ter of officers the low figures of Coulson
would have made but little difference in the
actual cost on account of the comparatively
small number of this class to be actually
transported.
1t will thus be seen that the amount and
character of the business to be done within
the specified limits governs largely the ques-
ton as to who is the lowest bidder. Judging of
the amount of business the coming season
by that of last year which is said to be
pretty safe estimate, the Yellowstone Trans
portation Company insist that it is the low
est bidder, and has accordingly, forwarded
to the Department at Washington, where
Col. Tompkins' action is to be reviewed,
full statement of their claims in the premises.
Other points are of course made by the
Company, but the above are believed to be
! the most Important.

Col. Wagne,'s Story of the Recent Raids
With Reflections Upo,, Gov. Hampton.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-Col Wagner writes
the commissioner of internal revenue from
Greenville, s. c., that the breech loading rifles
sent by the commissioner of internal revenue
for use by officers of the revenue in their raids
on illicit whisky, has been of great
assistance in the recent raid by
his officers under the collectors, in
which they captured 80 gallons and still, and
arrested the owners. They were assailed by
nine moonshiners with shot guns and rifles.
They responded with their breech-loaders, and
charged up hill upon their assailants, and
drove them back, chasing them until they were
dispersed.
Col. Wagner states in subsequent letter to
the commissioner of internal revenue that hear
ing Gov. Hampton had called for and received
information from citizen of Union county
concerning recent affair between the revenue
officers and militia, he waited on the governor
in company with the United States marshal and
revenue collector and shown written ac-
counts of the affair which were chiefly false,
whereupon he furnished the governor with
| with the conviction that Hampton would avail
| himself of any pretext to avoid the promises be
made some days ago in reference to sustaining
| the officers in the execution of their duty.
Hampton explained that the officers who had
| trouble with the militia were low people, and
expressed the surrnise that they might have
first provoked the difficulty with the militia
He said he had written letter to the Presi
| dent about the matter. Wagner now proposed
| to write the commissioner, giving some account
| of the character of the men aspersed.
