Merely L.ectured For ASSaulting
a Chinaman.
PROOFWAS INSUFFICIENT
Case Brings to Mind Past Assaults
Upon C.eleStialS-SOme Were
Fatal.

Frank Gallagher, Peter Rivet and Dan
Lewis, the latter colored, were tried in
Justice Nichols court last evening on a
charge of assaulting and robbing Chung
Louie. a C%hinaman, near the West Park
street school house on the 18th and dis
charged, the evidence against them not
being considered strong enough to war
rant the application of the "cinch." All
are boys ranging from Is to Is years. Be-
fore turning them loose, however, the
Judge administered a lecture in which hit
told them he believed they were guilty,
bur in the absence of positive proof he
would be compelled to let them go. He
also told them if they ever appeared be
fore MIN again ON a charge of law break
ing he would administer all the punish
Inent the statutes would permit.
There were five or six boys in the gang
that assaulted the Chinaman, but only
three We're captured. After knocking
him down they took 81 from his pockets.
The assault recalls several others of a
similar nature Of which Cinnamon in
Butte lave been the victims. Up to date
The list of fatalities resulting from these
attacks is six persons-five Cinnamon
and one white man. Three of the Chi
nanlen We're murdered and robbed at one
time and two at another and the perpe-
traitors have not been apprehended.
One day about seven years ago an old
Chinaman was saving wood in the alley
at the rear of the SchatZlein store when
a White man walked up and struck him
a blow that made his teeth chatter. As
soon as he recovered from the shock he
promptly sawed his assailant's head off
and escaped. From Butte he went TO
Spokane. A few weeks later G. C.
Rhoades, who was then a member Of the
police department OF this city, was in
Spokane on official business and while
there met the Chinese sawyer. He called
the attention of Chief of Police Warren
to the presence of the Chinaman, out
when search was made for the killer he
could not be found. Rhoades after
wards learned that the Chinaman had
suspected he was bout to be arrested
and got other Cinnamon in the city to
place him in a coffin and ship him to
Portland. The lid of the coffin had augur
holes in it so the supposed dead man could
have air enrOute. hen the coffin ar
rived at Portland it was turned over to
other Cinnamon and the killer was re-
leased. He afterwards returned to China,
where he remained.
Less than three years ago a boy struck
a Chinaman in the eye with a stone in
Hamilton street and escaped. The Chi
llaman eye was knocked completely
out and destroyed.

DUE TO ALCOHOLISM.
CORONER INVESTIGATES THE
- DEATH OF JOHN D. WIZARD. -

Coroner Phil Julien held an inquest
last might on the remains of John d.
Wyard, who died Wednesday night while
being taken to the city Jail.
Nothing new was bought out Ivy the
testimony. which was to the effect that
Wyard entered the White Front saloon on
East Galena street Wednesday night, and
his condition was such that the proprie-
tor called in an officer and suggested thai
he be taken to some place where he could
receive proper attention. A little later
Wyard left the place, and was afterwards
found lying in front of the Casino theater.
The officer who Ound him called a hack
and started for the city Jail. Before the
Jail was reached the man died. Wyard
had been drinking to excess for a week.
and the jury returned a verdict to the
effect that death was due to alcoholism.

PREMATURE EXPLOSION.
NARROW ESCAPE OF FOUR MEN IN
IN THE COLUsA-PARROT.

-Four men narrowly escaped death IN
ONE of the lower levels of the Colusa-Par-
rot mine about 4 O'Clock yesterday after
noon. David Bell, James McCune. Dem
mis- Lowney and William Tierney, Were
driving a double cross cut from the l6oo
They had charged fourteen holes
and had nearly completed splitting them
when Bell noticed one of the splits sputter-
ing. He instantly gave the alarm and
the men scattered, and had gotten pro-
badly twenty feet away when the chalSe
exploded. The men dropped to the f'oor
of the level and, with the exception OF
Bell crawled out of the way of danger.
Bell was struck repeatedly. but managed
to crawl into an off-shOot before 5osing
consciousness When his friends rerturn-
ed they found him in a very precarious
condition.. He was taken to the surface
and removed to the Sisters hospital,
where it required some tins to extract
the fragments of the rock that had been
forced into his anatomy. Ten fragments
were removed from his back. No bones
We're broken, but it will probably be some
time before Bell Cow from the shock.

PROBATE MATTERS SETTLED,
JUDGE LINDSAY RULES UPON MO-
TION5 IN SEVERAL CASES.

Judge Lindsay held a session of court
late yesterday afternoon and decided a
number of matters he had previously
taken under ad~visesnent. He overruled
the motion for a new trial in the suit of
the contestant in the matter of the es-
tate of James NJ. Reilly, who died of
pneumonia in this city about two years
ago. Reilly was a brother of the wife
of Ex-Mayor Harrington and made his
home with the Harrington's. After be
coming sick he made a will and in it left
all of his property and money to the
children of the Harrington's. Another
sister of Reilly brought suit to break the
will, naming P. S. Harrington, the ex-
ecutor Of the estate, as In
the complaint she alleged that her bro
Their had executed the within
tWenty-four hours of his death and was
mentally and physically incapacitated for
the work; that he acted under duress and
that the Harrington's and Annie Can't
we'll, the latter an employe of the Har-
ringtton's, had conspired together to have
him execute the document and cav his
possessions to the Harrington children.
The suit was tried and the defendant won
it, but the contestant moved for a new
trial.
The court discharged Louisa Frakes as
the guardian of the persons n estate of
John and Frank Gunther.
