A BRUTAL MURDER.
A Chinaman Struck Down by an Un-
known Rufian.
The Victim Lived But a Few Hours
An UnproYoked and Das-
tardIy Crime.

A Chinese servant who has been for
some years in the employ of John
Batcher. was sent out Saturday night about
O'Clock to the butchers shop to see why
the meat had not been sent down.
On his return, as he was crossing NJ
street, at the corner of Fourth, he met two
men on the crossing, one of whom, with
out any apparent provocation, struck
him on the side of the head. The China
man fell unconscious, and the men
passed on without stopping or altering
their gait.
An old Spaniard, named Romero, who
is engaged in the manufacture of tamales
on the corner of Fourth and NJ streets,
was sitting on his steps and was an eye
witness to the assault, but as the men
were going away from him he did not
see their faces, and as they aid not
quicken their pace at all, he did not pay
much attention to the matter. He says,
however, that man with his wife and
child were passing along on the opposite
side and must have seen the faces OF the
two men, who met them at the corner, as
the men passed on down Fourth street.
Romero describes them as being very
well dressed, as nearly as he could Judge,
in dark or black clothes. They were
ABOUT 1lYe feet nine or ten Inches in
hight, and very nearly of a size. Other
people probably saw or met them, as
crowd gathered very quickly, but it not
being known that the unfortunate China
man was badly hurt, very little attention
was paid to the men.
Their victim was picked up and when
he regained consciousness again was
taken in a wagon to a Chinese laundry
on Front street, between and K, where
he died before morning.
When Coroner Clark was notified he
sent for the body, but the Cinnamon at
the laundry refused to permit it to be-
removed until the aid OF the police was
invoked.
Mr.. hatcher says the Chinaman was
the best-tempered one he ever knew, and
he never knew him to be angry or cross.
The assault seems to have been the out
come OF the hatred so many men feel to-
ward the Mongolians.

Saturday night at the Clunie Opera
house, between the first and second acts
of the play, Mr.. Ward read the election
returns to the large audience. As he
read of the wards results, showing in
every precinct majority for clear, pure
water, there was enthusiastic applause.
After he had read the last return from
the Fourth Ward he remarked with a
predatory compliment to the good iudg-
ment of the people in deciding the water
question, that the Fifth Ward was to be
heard from, that too, himself, was for
clear, pure water and clean, pure drama,
and he intended that only such should be
presented upon the Opera-house boards.

Edward Ray, who is awaiting judg-

Saturday night by Officer Maley on a
charge of robbing man.
1t seems that Swede came here with
nearly $500, and was persuaded into ne
gotiations for buying out a restaurant on
Fourth street, and placed a part of the
money in the hands of a party, who was
to be his partner, with which to buy the
restaurant. He charges that Ray and
another man robbed him OF about so of

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to 500 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres Of
land i'll the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from so to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 120, 16o and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment Of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years. and then
the purchaser is TO have five years in which to
pay five equal annual tnstallments, with in
terest at the rate of 7 per cent per annum
making payments extending over a period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre.
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming. and es-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre. on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actuaIsettlers result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

A PRACTICAL MIND.
Why Woman Wanted the Water En-
terprise Defeated.

terprise Defeated.
One of the most amusing reasons given
for the opposition to clear water last week
was given by lady of this city last Fri
day. and is vouched for as being true by
one who was present.
1t occurred at the supper table, where
the lady, her two sons and another gentle
man were sitting.
William said she, 81 want you and
Ed to go the first thing in the morning
and vote against this clear water PROPOSE
tion Now don't either of you neglect it ="
But, mother" said one Of the boys,
i don't think that will be a wise thing
to do"
well, you must do it," was the reply,
''or we will suffer for it. If they ever
stop pumping the water ont of the river
the whole city will be flooded when win
ter comes %
This was about as good as any other
reasons urged for voting down clear
water.
