BOLD HUNG CHUNE.
A Murderous Mongo1 Landed in
the County Jail

A Chinaman named Hung Chune was
arrested yesterday afternoon by Sheriff
Johnson and County Detective Max p
Fisher and landed in the County Jail.
About four months ago Hung Chune
attempted to annihilate an Italian
gardener and his wife, near Oak Park,
for not allowing him to use the Italians
windmill to irrigate a strawberry patch
the Monaghan was working Hung
Chune was arrested, but the Italian
and his wife, after having sworn to a
complaint, failed to appear in court,
and Chune was released.
He left that vicinity, and went to
work for Justice Merkley on the lat
ter's ranch down the river. He worked
there only few days when he became
angry at another Chinaman in Merk-
ley's employ and knocked the latter
down with an iron bar. and then pro-
ceeded to carve the PROSTATE man with
a long knife He inflicted
number of ugly cuts none of them,
however, being fatal.
Believing that he had finished his
victim, Hung Chune fled and has been
in hiding near Folsom ever since. A
warrant was issued ch, ing him with
assault WITH intent 10 amt murder,
and was placed in the hands of Con-
stables Boggess and Shook. in whose
township the assault had been COM
mitted.
Sheriff Johnson and County Detective
Fisher had been keeping a sharp look
out for the murderous Monaghan, and
while riding out on a J-street car yes
terday afternoon they noticed their
man on the front end of down-comin
car. Quickly alighting, they became
passengers on the other car, and when
nearing Seventh and streets they
placed Hung Chune under arrest. The
Chinaman was very much surprised,
and also surprisingly stubborn, but
finally had to yield and was soon in
Jail.
The prisoner is an old-t time highbind-
er of the "hatchetman' variety. His
vicious nature makes him particularly
valuable to the class of fighting men
to which he belongs. He is an ex-con-

OLD GLORY.
The Flag Unfur1ed Over Westmin-
Ster Church.

At the close of the morning services
at the Westminter Presbyterian Church
yesterday the big garrison fag recently
secured for the occasion was, with APP
propriate ceremonies, raised to the top
of the new staff on the building.
The congregation gathered in front of
the edifice and, standing on the steps,
the choir sang the Banner of the
Cross" A ferVent prayer was offered
by the pastor, after which Judge A. c.
HinksOn was introduced and delivered
a stirring though short address.
Judge Hinkson briefly reviewed the
struggle for American independence,
which, he said, was inspired by spirit
of religious tolerance and a love of lib
erty Indigenous to the very soil on
which the struggle took place. The de-
cision then made. that taxation without
representation was unjust. was carried
to all the battlefields of the revolution
by the Spartan band, which adopted for
it's banner the Stars and Stripes. To-
day he said, that banner floats over
the grandest republic the history of
the world has ever known, and it is APP
propriate now that it should be I'M
furled and float over the temple of God
as well as over the houses of State. To
love the flag and to be loyal to the
country is the duty of every Christian.
Recently, Judge Hinkson said, one
squadron of our navy achieved a vic
tory-One that will live in the nations
history-and to the list of naval stars
another has been added, and while the
American people remember, and as long
as song and story tell of the deeds of
heroes. the name of Dewey will shine
one of the brightest in the constella-
ton.
The speaker spoke of the struggle go
ing on in the island of Cuba; predicted
that the present war will be of short
duration, and that when it is over a
new republic will have been born I'M
der the folds of the old flag.
| At the conclusion of Judge Hink-
! sons address the choir sang America"
and as the strains of the anthem rose
the stars and stripes of "Old Glory
grandly spread over the church, and

LETTER FROM CAMP.
How the Sacramento Volunteers
Are Getting Along.

The following paragraphs are taken
from aletter received yesterday from one
of the officers of Company F at the
Preside:
The preliminary work of the volun-
teers is quite arduous. Blank forms
for Government work require a great
deal of writing. Most of them have to
filled in triplicate. Company f has
performed this work right up to the
handle. Captain Lucey requires his
officers to take their share of this work.
The commissioned officers all are
required to take their squads and drill
them.
so you see we all have work to per
form. The result is that Lieutenant
Colonel w. r. Johnson while he has
not his company f of Fresno in his
command, has a company that is set
ting the pace for the rest. This we hear
from all quarters. Captain Carrington
of the regular army has on more than
one occasion pointed out our Captain
and command to the other officers of
the volunteers and remarked that Cap
tain Lucey had served in his regiment,
and that he understood his business
thoroughly.
Stockton presented the First and Sec
ond Battalions with colors, and the
ceremony was certainly very patriotic
one, and when the colOrs We're turned
over to the Colonel all the soldiers and
citizens uncovered. and the band struck
up the national anthem. This was all
done in a drizzling rain, yet all re-
manned with barred heads till the color
guard marched off the grounds.
! THE officers of Company T cannot
! express themselves in fitting language
for the elegant presents sent US by the
! citizens of Sacramento, and can only
! say that we will try the best we
know how to defend the honor Of our
country and thus show our apprecia-
ton of the gifts.
| THE presence of Sacramento visitors

Rev. Mr. Mel was down here yester-
day and distributed socks. towels.
