SAN RAFAEL, Cal, Sept Lee Doom, the
Chinese murderer, was hanged this morn
ing in the Marion county courthouse. He
died withou. struggle, his neck being
tbroken by the drop. In thirteen minutes
he was pronounced dead.
The case of Lee Doom illustrates the
folly OF pardoning a murderer. When he
was boy of Is years he killed a man in
Stanislaus county. A jury found the
young Chinsman guilty, and il was only
on account of his youth that he ESCAPED
hanging. imprisonment fot life was the
sentence, but the prisoner was pardoned
by Gov. Waterman little more than four
years ago. Lee went to San Rafael at the
time OF ms release. and there he got a po-
sltion as servant In the house Of T, B.

man OF y years, with wife and one child.

OF that work that on December . $50. he
got into an alteration with the servant
a Chinaman, by the way. who was well
acquainted with the English language
and who could read and write a. we'll M
he could speak. The dispute was over the
removal OF rubbish in one of the rooms.
When the trouble was ended for the time
Lee went out to his cabin at the rear of
the yard and then started down the street.
Snehton, lew minutes later. got into his
wagon and drove away On the road he
passed the servant. but the ChInaman
shouted at nam and then started to follow.
Suddenly the painter heard shot. and
turning about he saw Lee Doom close be-
hind him with revolver in his hand. He
tried 10 jump TO tne opposite side of the
horse tor protection. but as he spranp
from the wagon fatal bullet crashed into
his spine. Then the Chinaman fired two
more cartridges at his victim, and the

his unusual proportions Of head. But
his shoulders, with their great names,
were worth displaying to excite admi-
ration and awe at their possibilities, IL
they could do nothing more.
"Unquestionably the two fellows re-
Varded themselves as representative Of
their different herds, the one first on
the ground viewing the other as an In
terloper, and he in lis turn looking
upon the former as reigning because no
one had the spirit to contest his su-
premacy and show him where he be-
longed They sidled up nearer each
other, their heads all the while kept
low to the ground, and their eyes, red
with anger, rolling in fine fury. This
display of the preliminaries OF battle
drew the attention of an increasing
number from either herd. At first
they would look up, then recommence
thc;- eating, and then direct their at
tention more intensely as the com bat
ants began to measure their strength
more closely. And when the fight was
on they became quite absorbed in the
varying fortunes of the struggle.
AT last the two huge fellows, after
a good deal of circumlocution, made
the grand rush. I reckon it would be
your everlasting fortune il one of you
college fellows who play football had
the force to make the great rush which
either one of these animals presented
The collision was straight and square.
A crash of horns, a heavy, dull thud of
heads. We thought surely the skull
of one or the other or possibly both
was crushed in. But evidently they
were not even hurt Didn't they push
then? Well, guessl The force would
have showed an old-fashioned barn
from its foundations. The muscles
swelled upon the thighs, the hoofs sank
into the earth. But they were evenly
matched.
For an instant there was n mutual
cessation of hostilities to get breath.
Then they came together with a more
resounding crash than before. In
stantly we perceived that the meeting
of heads was not square. The new
champion had the best position. Like
n flash he recognized it and redoubled
his efforts to take its full advantage.
The other appeared to quadruple his
euoTlS 10 nidiHedlh AiAuseAl III pOSlbiOA,
and his muscles bulged out, but his an
tagonist made a sudden move which
wrenched his head still farther off the
line, when he went down upon his
knees That settled the contest, for
his enemy was upon him before he
could recover. He was thrown aside
and his fanks were raked by several
ugly, upward thrusts of his foe, which
left him torn and bruised all in heap.
As soon as he could get on his feet he
limped crestfallen away.
"The victorious fellow lashed his
small tail, tossed his head, and moved
in all the pride of his conquest up and
down through the ranks of his adver-
sary's herd. How exultant he was!

We took it to be rank impudeace, and
though he had exhibited some heroic
qualities of strength and daring it dis
pleased us TO see him take on so many
airs on account of his victory.
But his conquest of the field was
not yet entirely complete. AS he STROBE
proudly along his progress was stopped
by loud snort and looking aside he
saw n fresh challenge. There, stand
ing out in full view, was another bull,
a monster of a fellow, belonging to his
late enemy's herd. He paved the earth
with great strokes and sent rockets of
turf curvlng high in the air, some of
which sifted its fine soil down upon the
nose of the victor.
''As we looked at this new chal-
lenger and took in his immense form we
chuckled with the assurance that the
naughty fellow would now have some
decent humility imposed upon him.
The conqueror himself must have been
impressed with the formidableness of
his new antagonist, for there was a
change in his demeanor at once. OF
course, according to well-established
buffalo code, he could do nothing but
accept the challenge.
Space was cleared as the two mon
sters went through their gyrations,
their tossings of earth, their lashings
of tail, their snorts and low bellows.
This appeared to them q more serious
contest than the former, II we could
judge from the length of the introduc-
tory part. They took more time be-
fore they settled down to business. We
were of the opinion that the delay
was caused by the champion, who re.
sorted to small arts to prolong the pre-.
liminaries. We watched it.all with the
most excited interest. It had all the
thrilling features of n Spanish bull
fight without the latter's degradation
of man. Here was the level of ma,
ture. Here the true buffalo instincts
with their native temper were exhib
iting themselves in their most en-
phatic and vigorous fashion. 1t was thu
buffalo's trial of nerve, strength and
skill Numberless as must have been
these tournaments. in which the cham
pions of different herds met to decide
which was superior, in the long ages
during which the buffalo kingdom
reigned supreme over the vast western
prairies of the United States, yet few
had ever been witnessed by man. We
were looking upon spectacle exceed
ingly rare to human eyes, and confess
that l never was more excited than
when this last trial reached it's climax.
It was n question now whether the
champion should still hold his position.
1t stimulates one more when lie thinks
of losing what he has seized than
when he thinks Of failing to grasp that
which he has never possessed. Un.
doubtedly both of these animals had
this same feeling, for as we looked at
this latest arrival in the arena we
about concluded that he was the real
leader, and not the other that limpcd
away vanquished.
while these and other thoughts
were passing through our minds the
two mighty contestants squared and
made a tremendous plunge for each
other. What a shock was thatl What
n report rolled on the airi The earth
fairly shook with the terrific concus.
sion Of buffalo brains, and both burly
fellows went down on their knees.

same swiftness and skill, and each
bore down on the other with all the
power he could summon. The cords
stood out like great ropes on their
necl1s. The muscles on thighs and hips
rose in huge welts- We were quite
near these fellows and could see the
roll of their blood-red fiery eyes They
braced and showed with perfectly ter
rible force. The froth began TO drip in
long strings from their mouths The
erstvhile victor slipped with one hind
foot slightly. His antagonist felt il
and instantly swung q couple of inches
forward, which raised the unfortunate
buffalo's back, and we expected every
instant that he would go down. But
he had firm hold and he swung his
antagonist back to his former position.
where they both were held painting,
their tongues lolling out
There was a slight relaxation for
breath. Then the contest was re-
newed Deep into new sod their hoofs
sunk, neither getting the advantage Of
the other. Like the crack of a tree
broken asunder came . report on the
air and one Of the legs of the first
fighter sank into the earth The other
buffalo thought he saw his chance and
made furious lunge toward HIS op-
ponent The earth trembled beneath
us. The monsters there fighting began
to reel. We beheld an awful rent in the
sod. For an instant the ground
swayed, then nearly an acre dropped
out of sight.
I'VE started back with horror. Then
becoming reassured we slowly ap-
preached the brink Of the new precipice
and looked over. This battle OF the
buffaloes had been fought near the
edge of this high bluff. Their great
weight-each one was over q ton-and
their tremendous struggles had loos-
ened the fibers which kept the upper
part of the bluff together. and the
foundations having been undermined
by the current, all were precipitated
far below.
"As we gazed downward we detected
two moving masses quite q distance
apart and soon the shaggy fronts OF
these buffaloes were seen. One got
into the current OF the river and was
swept down stream. The other soon
was caught by the tides and swept on
ward toward his foe. Probably they
resumed the contest when, after gain
ing a good footing farther down the
banks of the Missouri, they were fully
rested.
But more probably, il they were
sensible animals-and In some respects
buffaloes have good sense-they con-
cluded after such providential inter
ference in their terrific fight that they
should live together in fraternal amity.
So no doubt on the lower waters Of the
Missouri two splendid buffaloes have
been seen by later hunters paying each
other mutual respect and standing on n
perfect equality as chief leaders OF q
great herd. Chicago Tribune.
