years, to bed, and shortly thereafter en-
tered the room. and seizing the older girl
by the throat, proceeded to strange her
to death. The younger child ran from the
room. pursued by her mother. who was
still clinging to the other child. The
mother followed for 200 yards and dropped
the older child, who was then dead. and
after pursuing the other some distance
gave up the chase and returned home. The
little girl soon arrived at neighbor's and
gave the alarm.
Meanwhile the husband returned home
and finding no one in the house gave sew
eral calls and was finally answered by his
wife. Going to the back of the house, he
found her in . pool of blood. He carried
her into the house and found that the
front part of her head was literally chopped
to pieces. She was perfectly conscious
and said she inflicted the wounds on her
self, but gave no reason for doing SO. She
told him where the dead child was, and
the neighbors. who had then arrived, soon
found the body, which vas closely guarded
by a faithful dog. Several physicians

Chinese Outlaws Coming Together in
Portland In Disguise.

PORTLAND. Or, May 6.-The respectable
and orderly portion of the Chinese colony
in the city are beginning to feel uneasy on
account OF the reorganization of the various
high-binder societies which were disbanded
and suppressed here after the Chinese
shooting affray q year ago. These societies
now figure as benevolent associations
or charitable institutions, but there are
many among the Chinese who consider
them nothing but the same old highlander
association. The Sam Ye Up Company
handed letter from San Francisco to the
mayor, asking him to aid them to organ
ixe. The mayor turned it over to Chief
PARROT, who denied the request. num-
Der of highbinders have come here from
San Francisco recently. and, it is feared,
intend TO make troble here.
