man at that place, brought the news and
also informed the officers that he had
locked up the supposed murderer in a box
car.
The story of the crime, as far as can be
learned or surmised at this time, is as
follows: The murder occurred in the
bunk house occupied by the Japanese
section hands, between midnight and 3
o'clock. The victim was killed in bed with
a Ratchet, the body dragged out on the
floor and it's head cracked with the hatch.
ct into az almost unrecognizeable mass.
1t appears that the two other Japanese
occupants of the house fled in terror n
hid themselves in an outbuiidlnS. About
4 o'clock they mustered up enough cour-
age to wake the section foreman, Mr..
Rice, by tapping on his window. The
latter proceeded to the house where he ar
rested the supposed murderer and sue
ceeded in locking him up in a box car,
pending the arrival of the officers. The
accused had in the meantime made a
complete change of his clothing and was
dressed up in his best, presumably ready
to leave.

tanned shows that Kankoku Huesoku,
the murdered Jap, was killed with an ak,
while in his bunk asleep. The evidence
points to Shire Takunago, his bed fellow
as being the murderer. Sufficient evil
dence was shown to warrant his being
bound over without bail.
