THEY LOST THEIR GUNs.-Last evening
as a party of ladies and gentlemen were
coming in from fishing excursion to
Fisherman's lake, they were accosted by an
excited Chinaman near the Twelfth-street
bridge. He was covered with blood, and
his face presented the appearance of a
pugilist after hard prize fight. In the
poorest of broken English, he informed the
party that three Mclean man hap kille my
cousin, shoote him belly bad he heap hat
die. He heap ikee catchee policeman"
The wounded celestial was given a seat by
the Jehu, who drove rapidly into the city
and TO the station-houSe, where the wounded
man rereated his story. Chief Jackson took
a horse and buggy and started Immediately
for the scene of the trouble followed by
officer Frazee and Deputy Sheriff Lee.
When Jackson arrived at the American
River bridge, the toll-gatherer, Mr.. Coons,
told him it was unnecessary to go farther,
and related the following story; Three men
came over from the city, on a hunting and
fishing expedition, and not being very sue
cessful, they took a notion to capture the
chickens at q Chinese. cabin on Mrs. Judges
ranch The first the Cinnamon knew of
their presence was when the hunters COM
menced shooting their fowls. Two of the
Cinnamon went out and commenced eX-
postulating with the hunters, when they
were knocked down and numerically
beaten. The Cinnamon cried for
help, and in a few moments about
thirty Cinnamon from the neighboring
potato ranches assembled and surrounded
the white men. The latter saw they were
likely to be murdered, and begged piteous-
ly to be allowed to go. The celestials,
however refused their prof1ers of money,
and began to make preparations for their
execution, when Mr.. Coons appeared on
the scene. He prevailed upon the China
men to accept the guns of the hunters, let
them go and prosecute them in the Courts.
AS soon as allowed to depart the hunters
clambered into their wagon, drove rapidly
to the city and returned their wagon to
Wilson's stable. Chief Jackson has posses
sion of the guns. The parties are well
known and will be arrested to-day.
