companions some months ago on
Moose creek near Newsome creek,
was captured near the Chinese gar
den on the South fork of the Clear

From Jay Rhoades the Mt. Idaho
stage driver, we learn the following
particulars Of the capture of the
Chinaman. The Chinaman's where
abouts was found out and it was
also known that the majority of the
Cinnamon in the vicinity of where
he was, were shielding him. Several
white men from Mt. Idaho and
Orangeville went to the vicinity
where he was and made all the Chi
namen go on to the prairie and re-
main there and they occupied the
cabin. On Friday night about 10
o'clock the latch on the door of the
cabin, in which was the sheriff of
Idaho county, and Chas. Woods,
was heard to raise and the door
opened and lighted piece Of paper
in the hands of the Chinaman was
put in and also put in the second
time and suddenly pulled back.
The parties at a moment knew that
he saw them and would either shoot
at the spot where he saw them or
run, and they both fired and the
Chinaman fell dead, both shots TAX
ing effect, one in the head and the
other in the shoulder. A pistol,
loaded, was found by his side. He
was Immediately brought to Mt.
Idaho and there identified as the
one who done the numbering of the
two Cinnamon. A reward of $500
was offered by the Cinnamon, wheth-
er he was captured dead or alive.
