LAST Sunday afternoon a Chinaman, Ha Lee, was
most brutality murdered by a countryman, Leong
Lung, i'll Pauoa valley. Leong Lung and another
Chinaman went to Ha Lees house to collect
debt of $40. The latter acknowledged that he
owed that amount, but said that he had not the
money then, and asked that further time be al
lowed him 10 pay il. Words followed and Leong
Lung attacked Ha Lee with Chinese cleaver, and
the latter called TO n companion for assistance.
When he ran out of the house to help his friend
the Chinaman who came with Leong Lung caught
him and held him, while the former continued the
attack on Ha Lee. When they thought the latter
dead they Immediately left the vicinity. 1t il
supposed they went into the mountains. All Lees
body was most frightfully mangled. His face and
the back Of his head covered with wounds,
one of them severng the temporal artery. The
arms and hands were shockingly gashed. He
blows Bhowered upon him. 1T appears also that
when he fell, he drew his knees up 10 protect his
body as a blow the left knee removed piece
of the bone and there were number of cuts on
both legs but none on the body. The unfortunate
man was taken to the station house on n stretcher
where stimulants were administered and he so far
recovUed to be able to converse intelligibly
with an interpreter and told of the cause of the
! affray and the attack by Leong Lung. About $3.50
p. NJ he was conveyed to the Queens hospital
| where his wounds were dressed by DIR. Mckibbn
| He seemed to feel easier for n time but died on
| Monday morning. Coroners inquest was held
over the remains and the jury rendered a verdict
| in accordance with the above facts that the de-
ceased came to his death by weapon III the hands
of Leong Lung, who was aided and abetted d by
another and unknown party. A reward OF 500
| each has been offered by the Marshal for the ar
| rest of the murder and his coadjutor.
FROM the Polynesian, Nov 1915, we extract the
following curious article written five and thirty
years ago, to call attention to the singular mis-
apprehension of contemporary facts, and the
equally curious prophecy put forth by the writer
| which since been amply fulfilled "ln Hunts
Merchants Magazine for January 9TH, published in
| New York, we find the following statements :"
'Tbis great tract of the Oregon is drained by the
| Columbia River and the San Francisco which
debouch upon the ocean at point six days by
steam from the Sandwich Isles, a group the indie
pendence of which IL guaranteed, ,ohose popnidton
| is W0GOJ, mostly 1ms'icIns." Friend Hunt,
says Jarves the editor of the foiynesida, the
| whole American population of the Kingdom two
| years since numbered only its hundreds, and of
those one-half or more have become naturaized
| subjects" But now comes this remarkable fore
| cast by Friend Hunt" He says, g 20 years will
not have elapsed before powerful State Will have
sprung up ON the shores of the Pacific"
| "Those persons are living who viii see a railroad
| connecting New York with the Pacific, and steam
communication from Oregon to China" Sue
| cess to it," says Jaryes, land may its advent be
| speedy J" This think is one of the most
noticeable instances of foresight we have ever met
| with. In 40 the wealth of California and Oregon
animal, vegetable and mineral was as yet I'M
| known even unsupported by the general public,
but to-day the fuhllment has far exceeded the
terms Of the prophecy. Unquestionably power
full State has sprung up on the shores OF the faci
fc, and il is fact that persons then living III
1915 see a railroad connecting New York and the
Pacific. But Friend Hunt" as Jarves calls him
must have been far-sighted man.
