TWO lNQUESTS.
A Chinaman Whose Death Occurred
Under Suspicious Circumstances.

A Chinaman Whose Death Occurred
Under Suspicious Circumstances.
Great Falls, Jan. 26.--Two inquests
have been held in Havre this week. The
first was upon the body of John Laca-
bar, who was killed by a switch engine
while at work in the Great Northern
yards. In this case the jury brought
in verdict of accidental death, exon
Grating the railway company and its
employees from any charge of careless
ness.
The other inquest was held upon the
body of Chinaman, Mike Gee, who
was found dead in his cabin under sus-
picious circumstances. 1t was at first
believed that the celestial had been
poisoned by some of his countrymen be-
longing to opposing "tongs," but al
though every Chinaman in Havre vas
brought before the coroner and closely
questioned, no clue was obtained and
the verdict of the jury was necessarily
vague and unsatisfactory. Judge Melli
acted as colonel and empaneled the
following as jurors: E. C. Shelton, A.
]. Broadwater, c. w. Ling. w. c.
Broadwater, James H. Fenton and
Henry O'Hearn.

Great Falls, Jan. 26.-Possibly as

the Chinaman was conjured to take

TWENTY YOUNG MEN YIELD
TO TORTURE.
Skin Taken From Their Arms
to be Grated Upon a Boys.

Toronto, Can, November s.
On the operating table OF the
Six Chi dren's Hospital, OF this
city, at 9 o'clock this morning
lay Charlie Cochrane, twelve
years old, the skin of whose
back had beed scalded off as a
result of his falling into a tub OF
boiling water.
Around the table stood twenty
bright and healthful young men,
mostly students, half of them
from the Knox Presbyterian
College, several others from the
medical schools one or two clerks
Each had been carefully exam>
ined the night before by medl>
cal men and pronounced healthy.
Before the lances were used the
operation room looked like
vaccination room, for each of
the young men had his lett arm
bared-
The system adopted was the
Thiersch, and proved successful.
Each arm was carefully shaved
and Washed with a septic solu>
ton, and one by one long strip
of skin was carefully removed.
When the physical capacity of
the self sacrificing young man
was sufficient, two strips were
removed, each about three
inches long. and one inch wide.
In no case was an anaesthtice
necessary, each young man un-
Ainchingly and silently submit
ting to the operations.
AS the strips were removed they
were put III a saline solution,
and then upon the patients body
until the whole back was recov-
cred with this grated skin, as
we'll as several small places on
other parts of the body. The
grated skin began to adhere to
the body in a very short space
of time.
Oiled silk was laid over the
grated skin and the boy rolled
in bandages. He stated tonight
that the work Of grating was
not SO painful as the dressing of
the body was before the opera
ton. The medical men are high
ly satisfied with the result.

Farmer Hangs Himself.

Chambersburg, Pa, Novem-
Der o.-Because of family troub-
les Leonard Fauble, farmer,
$ years of age, hanged himself
at his home near City Hill this
evening. When Fauble came
in from the field he told his wife
he meant to end his troubles by
hanging himself. He had
threatened several times before,
to kill himself, and his wife
thought he would not carry out
his threat this time. Fauble
procured a rope and went up
stairs. Seeing that her. hus-
band was in earnest, Mrs. Fau-
BILE hurried to neighbors for as
sistance. When she returned
and opened the door leading to
the second floor she found her
husband hanging from the bal
ustrade at the head of the stair,
Wav. The cause of Fauble's
troubles was an idea on his part
that his mother>in-law was try
ing to separate himself and his
wife. The couple had been
married FIVE years and had one
child.

The Lake Drummond canal
Opened.

The Lake Drummond Canal
and Water Company wish to
give notice that the Old Dismal
Swamp Canal route between
Norf TX and Elizabeth City is
now open tor business and the
tug boat will leave every other
day except Sunday. commen
cling August 28th, making trips
as follows: Leaves Norfolk
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri
days. Returning, leayes Eliza
beth City, Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Saturdays.
The Canal Company insures
nine feet of water at present
time between the locks, and IN
a few weeks they will have ten
feet of water in the canal. The
Company has dredged fifteen
feet in depth for a distance of
three thousand feet below the
locks in Deep Creek. They
have also made deep water be-
tween South Mills locks, in the
waters Of the Pasquotank river.
The Canal Company has dredg-
ed the Old Turner Cut to the
depth of ten feet at low water.
Thus far the Canal ompany
can insure a sufb cient depth OF
water.
The Canal Company would
rot at present guarantee a safe
passage between Norfolk and
Elizabeth City for boats draws
ing more than seven and half
feet of water-as the Pasquotank
has one shoal place, and Deep
Creek at low water has not more
than seven and a half feet at the
present time.
The government has appro>
priated money to deepen and
widen Deep Creek and also to
deepen ard straighten the wat
ers of the Pasquotank river.
This work is to commecc at
once. The Company in the
meantime intend to improve
and widen the canal, and in the
near future the Canal Company
believe that they will have a
canal and waterway between the
points named that cannot be ex
Celled in this country.

CHAMPION JEFFRIES' PRO-
GRAMME.
Fight Corbett Fist and Then
All the Other Heavyweights.

Champion Pugilist James J.
Jefries has had mapped out for
him a programme that will like
| ly keep him busy for many
months to come. In reference to
his future boxing contests he
made the following announce
ment:
Those heavyweights who
want to fight me need not worry.
They will all have a chance, |
will meet James J. Corbett first
of all. Corbett is my friend. l
was once his sparring partner
and he treated me right. Now is
my chance to return his kind
ness. He asked me for a match,
and l told him he would be
given the first whack at the
champion.
Jim is a clever boxer. He
may be the one who will beat
me. l don't think he will. Even
# did l would take him on just
the same.
81 am the champion of the
world, and I am going to defend
that title. If Fitzsimmons did
not meet me l could not have
won it. And unless I give others
the same show they could not
very we'll obtain the crown to
which every heavyweight as
pires.
"After ,Corbett let the rest
come on. Next will be the win
ner of the Sha1key Fitzsimmons
fight. 1t is only right that these
two should have it out before
coming back at me- l defeated
them both, and am now ready to
meet whichever one is the bet
ter. | don't care which one it is
THAT talk of me fearing to
get in the ring with Sharkey
again is nonsense. He gave me
a hard punch OF two, but did not
come within hundred miles Of
beating me. The next time we
fight III put him out sure. And
I think he knows it, too.
"If the two men | have whip
ped won't come to terms | will
take one On after the other in
due time. But before that there
are others looking for a cham.
pionship fight that I intend to
give a charce. Gus Ruhlin is
one.
"When Corbett, Fitzsimmons,
Sha1key and Rubin have had
their chance til, II III take on
any remaining pugilists. 1t may
get bit monotonous, but I'm
champion, and must keep the
pugilistic pot aboiling
81 hear that fighting in New
York is going to be stopped. If
that is so I'll take ol these fell
lows in battles to a finish. I will
fight in Carson City, Mexico or
any where else. The plains will
suit me.
II think l will still hold the
championship after lighting
them all. Possibly some one of
them may lick me. But l doubt
1t.
II come close to knowing just
how good every fighter of the
lot is, and have a pretty good
line on what I ain able to do.
"Even if one of them does the
trick, what's the difference? It's
all in the game. One man has
no right to be champion forever.
Especially if there is another
