ANOTHER MURDER MYSTERY.
A Chinaman sho, ana Killed In silver City
Friday Evening.


A mysterious murder was committed
In this city Friday evening, the victim
being a ChinamaD, says the Silver City
Independent.
The details Of the tragedy are extreme
ly mesgre. and at this writing the entire
affair is wrapped In mystery. The
der was committed about $3.50 o'clock. At
that time people in the vicinity OF the
Independent office heard q single shot.
Martin v. Cox and Robert Bell were sit
ting In the room occupied by Mr.. Cox
next door to this Office and thinking II
intended for IN alarm OF fire started to In.
vestigate. Mr.. Cox headed for Yankee
street aud had gone only a few steps when
he stumbled over the body Of a man lying
In the back yard OF the residence occu
pied by Marshal William Il. Kilburn and
family, and In which was also Mr.. Cox's
room, Investigation disclosed the body
to be that OF a Chinaman, and to all sp-
pesrances he had been killed instantly.
The authorities were at once notified and
medical aid summoned, but DIR. Williams,
who was irst on the ground, pronounced
the man dead.
The dead man was soon after identi-
1ed a. Yee Pock Lung. a Chinsmsn who
has been a resident Of Silver City for a
number Of years, and at the time OF his
death being In the employ OF George II.
Bell. AZ cook. How he came where he
was found IL altogether a matter OF con-
lecture. but the most plausible and gem
orally accepted theory Ia that, finding
himself pursued and In danger. he ran
10 the home OF the marshal for protec-
ton. but was overtaken and shot down.
lie had jumped an adobe fence which
surrounded the property and was found a
few feet inside and also within a short
distance Of the back door OF Mr.. Kilburn's
home.
The bullet which was afterwards ex-
trscted from the brain Of the deceased.
had entered the brain at the base, and
must have killed him instantly. The
ball wa greatly fiattened. but was OF
al ca'ibre. Lung was seen q Few min
utes previous on the street by some OF
hiI companions. and then stated that he
was going TO bed. The direction taken
by him would indicate that he had come
somewhere from the center OF the Chit
nese quarter.
A coroner's jury was empaneled by
Judge Newcomb, consisting OF Clyde
smith, John L.. Burnside, G. Gutierrez.
Otto Henkel, Gus. Reiling and W. b.
Walton, and after viewing the remains
and bearing testimony returned a YER
diet OF ceath from gunshot wounds at
the hand Of party or parties unknown.
As yet there Is no clue to the identity
OF the murderer. Ii IL not thought to
have been the result OF any organized
conspiracy on the part OF his country
men, ss he was apparently on good terms
with all the members OF the local Chinese
colony. IL was evidently some private
affair or dispute, and the murderer took
q chance shot with fatal result, as the
body WAS not powder burned, and such
Workmanship was exhibited ~ would
hardly have been possible, except by
chance.
No local authorities are working on
several possible clues, and 1t Is to be
hoped that they will be successful in
bringing the cold .blooded assassin to
justice.

economists of the Mikado's empire that the natural course of trade is across the Pacific, and that the commerce between the ports of California and Puget Sound must absorb nearly all the exports, as well as furnish the imports, of Japan. The Japanese parliament during it's re- cent session passed law granting sub- sidies to two American lines of steamers, which are now building several new ves- sells of ten thousand tons each, to be used in that trade.
 The most remarkable feature of the situation is the rapid development of the flour market in Japan. This has been prompted by the agents of the Great Northern Steamship company and the millers of the northwest, who happened to begin their crusade about the time of the failure of the rice crop, which cereal furnished the principal food of the Jap anese, and last year six hundred thou sand barrels of flour were sent from Pu- get Sound ports alone to the markets of Japan.
 Taking advantage of this situation, M Stanley TWeedle, manager of the Call fornia and Oriental Steamship company here, has been making propositions to the millers of Colorado to assist him in building up the trade, and the Santa Fe company Is offering rates for the trans portation of flour to San Diego that sim ply cover the cost of hauling, The Col orado flour is of a superior quality, ana appears to be suitable to the Japanese market, as it endures the long voyage without deteriora tion.--San Diega (Cal.) Letter in the Chicago Record.
