WONG All POK'S MURDER.
A VEGETABLE GARDENER HAS HIS
SKULL CRUSHED.
A Crime That Has 60 Far Bsfied Inves-
tigation-No Indication OF . strug-
glo circumstances OF
the Affair.

The body of Wong Alb Pok. Chinese
gardener, was;found Yesterday morning
about O'Clock. on the Wilmington road,
about six;Smiles from this city. The
dead body lay by the roadside, as If it
had been carefully placed in the posi-
tion found. The skull was fractured in
two places, and there was deep cut
over the right eye. The fractures were
evidently made by heavy club, and
the cut by a sharp instrument, Under
meath the body was portion of an
oaken fence post, about three feet in
length. The body had been placed over
this club.
The head was clotted with blood and
sand. There was sand and few leaves
in the dead mans hands, sand under
meath the finger nails, scratches on the
wrists, and the eleeves OF his coat had
been carefully pulled over his hands,
showing every evidence that struggle
for life had taken place between himself
and the murderer.
The spot where the corpse lay showed
no tracks, yet it was of sandy forma-
| ton. There was pool of blood under
the head of the dead Chinaman, his hat
was found by mis- side; some KEYS had
been taken from his pockets and thrown
upon the ground, and his pockets were
reversed, as if he had been murdered
for the purpose of robbery. A Chinese
opium pipe was found about 20 feet dis
tant in the road, and there were spots
of blood upon the pipe.
| There were no evidences of struggle
in the immediate vicinity OF the corpse.
Wagon tracks were seen upon the road.
The supposition is that the murder
was committed elsewhere, and that the
body was hauled or carried to that spot.
The theory is also that the wounde
| could not have been made with the club
found underneath the body.
| Who committed the murder and fol
| what object is q mystery.
The deceased was engaged, with other
Cinnamon, in gardening. He and three
others came to town on last Saturday
and was last seen by his associates in
Chinatown about O'Clock that sitter.
noon.
The coroner held an inquest last even.
ing, and the verdict was to the effect
that the murder was committed by some
person or persons to them unknown.

what Your Great grandmother Did.

She hetcheled the fax and carded the
wool and wove the linen, and spun the tow,
and made the clothes for her husband and
ten children. She made butter and cheese,
she dipped tallow candles, to light the house
at night, and she cooked all the food for her
household by an open fire place and a brick
oven. Yes; and when she was forty years of
age, she was already an old lady whose best
days were over. Her shoulders were bent and
her joints enlarged by hard work, and she
wore spectacles and cap.
Her great granddaughter, with all the
modern convenienc6s for comfort refinement
and luxury, may be as charming and attract

THE r1ME TO SELL HORSES.
Experience of oregonian in The
Markets of Indiana

Markets of Indiana.
In an interview with James Elkins,
who has just returned from Indiana
where be went in October with lead
of horses to find market more ready
than at home he said that he sold out
his lot of horses, mostly unbroken, at
from $62 to $50, netting after all ex-
penses, about $35 dollars which he con-
siders too low. If it had been in the
spring season he could have realized $40
to As net, from the good class he had at
which prices man could go out of the
business fairly we'll. The farmers in the
states sell off their surplus hors, in the
fall, to save feed, expecting to supply
their need of teams in the spring.
Some parties netted but from SIS to
$40, and one man got but $3.50 r. head
for his horses. This stock, however, was
of a smaller grade, from Montana, thous-
ands OF which have been shipped 70 tie
states, causing a degree of prejudice
against western horses, and if unbroke,
buyers are shy of them. The market in
South Dakota has been good the p 81
summer. There now being no market
for the herds of horses raised in Estern
Oregon, the Willamette valley and sound
lntry, the only chance to realize any
ng from that industry lies in shipp ne
to a distant but expensive market. NJ.
Elkins made the trip to learn the bes:
ways of handling stock and to find a
market where he might dispose of his
herd next summer. South Dakota he
consider, as good state to go to RS
any in the spring and not so far to ship.

Speaking OF the present run of Royal
Ebinook salmon in the Columbia. the
'Oregonian yesterday endorsed TIE
CHRONICLE upon the subject by saying:
when the young salmon once departs
from the fresh water in which he was
born, he disappears in the depths of the
ocean. no one knows where, aud does
not return until be is full-grown fish
years of age. This is the reason why
\the chinook salmon caught in the
Columbia are of such uniform size.
They are all four years of age, with but
few EXCEPTIONS" And, our coutempo-
rary might have added: the fish could
not hatch from the spawn during the
bseight of the fishing season, because of
the miles of lead lines and
other traps, wheels. etc., they must of
course, have patched later in the season,
which accounts for the present run; and
which, if permitted to spawn in peace,
will account for an increased run four
years hence, D. cember 1896.
