THE DEATH OF YOUNG FREY.
HE ACCIDENTALLY HANGS HIAsELF IN A SWIM

The report that Louis Frey, a twelve year
old son of Joseph Frey, committed suicide
yesterday at Franktown, il entirely Incorrect
Young Frey was swinging at the time be met
his death, and the hanging was accidental
His younger brother saw him struggling in
the swing but did not run to his assistance,
he supposed that lie was shamming. 1t
appears that he fell out Of the swing, which
was of baiing rope. The rope twisted about
his neck, and as the ground beneath him was
on the side of hill, his feet slipped away,
and as the ground was wet with frost he
was unable to recover. The marks on the
ground showed how hard he had struggled to
regain his footing. He had no quarrel with
his elder brother as was reported On the
contrary, he was the pet of the family, from
the fact that he had lost the four fingers of
one hand. He was of cheerful, happy dis
position, in good health and there was not the
slightest cause for suicide The family feel
greatly panied over the reckless reports crca-
lated about the affair.

would join it. Such a branch was established
at Carson. and Clarke made application 70,
membership, but was black balleo. Since
that time most of the engineers belonging t,
| the Mechanics Union have been dIssharged-
for cause, Mr.. Yerington says, but the work
ingmsn generally believe, because OF their
connection with the UnioH.
A further reason for associating the name OF
the Union with Sunday nights dastardy deed
is the fact that the man Fitzgerald, who for,
babe Clarke getting on his engine, is q mem
Der of the Union.
A Chrorsscle reporter WAS Informed on good
authority that Clarke recently became men,
Der of the Sacramento branch of the Brother
hood of Engineers.
Chronicle reporter called yesterday
on ex President Wilkin of the Mechanics
Union and asked him if he thought it prob
able that the organic alton would take any &C
ton with regard to the attempted assasslna-
ton.
Mr.. Wilkn said everybody ought to know
that the Mechanics Union would never coGn-
tenanee any act of the kind. If it WAS found
that the public was disposed to lay apy OF the
blame on the Union he thought it probable
that all connection with or responsibility for
the affair would be dselaimed This was only
his individual impression, however. There
had been ne meeting of the Union since the as
sAult.
The APPEAL reporter learned last night that
all of the books and papers of the Mechanics
Union of this city were stolen two weeks ago.
THE WEAPONS
After the scutfle a carpenters scratch awl
and two bars of iron, dropped by the attacking
party, were picked up and taken to the depot
A Chronicle reporter examined them this
morning. One of the bars il half inch round
iron, and about 10 inches long. The other is
smaller and shorter The awl is Of steel, very
sharp, with spike of four inches and a conven-
lent wooden handle. Any of them, welded
with vigor, would be capable of inficting fatal
injuries. These weapons we're not seen in the
hands of Clarkes assaiants, but it is probable
they dropped them in their hasty fight.
