Five Days.


About a week ago, in the City JUS
tice Court John Broderick entered a
plea of guilty to a charge of crsturb-
ing the peace OF Henry Altpeter. Brod-
erlck's attorney requested and was
granted time to allow his client to earn
money wherewith to pay any fine which
might be imposed.
Frederick was up for sentence yes
terday morning, and Justice Davis, who
knew nothing about the facts in the
case, called Altpeter to the stand to
tell his story. The latter, instead CT re-
counting the facts of the alleged dis
turbance, began abusing Broderick.
He is a scoundrel and vag, and
his. wife supports him. said Altpeter

MURDER IN FIRST DECREE.
VERDICT OF THE JURY IN THE
CHINESE CASE.
Lee Dick Lung Convicted of the
Murder of Lee Ling Hi ON
Twitche1l Island.

The arguments in the case of Lee
been ON trial for the murder of Lee
vember, were concluded yesterday af-
| ternoon, and the case was given to the
| jury at $40 p. M, the court having
taken thirty-five minutes to read the
instructions to them. They were out
until half past and those who thought
the verdict should be murder in the first
degree were afraid that the long wait
meant a disagreement or a verdict sor
a less offense, We're treasured only
when the verdict was read.
| When the jury filed into court, how
ever, and were asked if they had agreed
on a verdict, Foreman c. A. york an
swered that they had, and, passed it
up to Judge Hughes who read it and
returned it. Mr.. york then read the
verdict, which was: I'VE, the jury find
| the defendant guilty of murder in the
| first degree
| Judge Hughes thanked the jury for
| their careful attention and prompt at
tendance and said it was a pleasure to
the court to have such jurors. He set
the time for sentencing the prisoner for
| Friday next, the 23d inst.
The case was an aggravated one, the
testimony of the partner of the muir
dered man being that they had on the
day of the murder received considerable
| money for the sale of some potatoes,
and that Lee Dick Ling, who was a
member of the Suey Ing Tong, came to
the cabin early in the evening, and af-
ter eating supper demanded money and
because lie Ling Hi refused to give it
to him, shot him and ran away The
evidence of Police Lieutenant Price of
San Francisco showed the Suey Ing
Tong to be highlander society and a
translation of letters We're produced
which We're found ON the person of Lee
Dick Lung when arrested, from the
Secretary of the Suey Ing Tong, warn
ing him that the officers were after
him and that if he did not leave Napa
before they found him the society would
not protect him.
This is the first conviction for muir
der in the first degree in this county
since the Freeman case, about eight
years ago, and the jury last night were
congratulated by their friends on their
action. The case was stubbornly fought
for the defense by Messrs. Powers and
johnson, who had been appointed by
the court to defend the accused, and
who made the best showing possible.

horst, ably assisted by Charles t.

NEARING A CRISIS.
Thursday Last Day For Miners to

Wardner, Ida. May 1.-THE crisis in
the labor troubles here will commence
Thursday of this week Should the
period pass over quietly, no more out
breaks of lawleSSnesS need be looked
for during the continuance of military
rule. On the other hand, should there
be any clash this week between the
soldiers and the lawless element in the
union, il is impossible to tell what
bloodshed may occur.
Thursday is the last day allowed I'M
der the recent proclamation for work
ing miners to apply for permits to re-
main in underground employment On
that day the inspection of mines all
over the Occur d'AleneS will commence.
1t will be rigid examination, and il

closed, its pumps drawn ana 4 guard
placed over it.
Up Canyon creek. whore none but
union miners are employed, they Stlll
sullenly refuse to make application for
the cards. In order to Secur-a a permit
a miner must renounce membership in
the society which has fostered and en-
outraged the recent lawlessness in the
district. The union is not named out
right in the printed forms to which the
applicant must subscribe
Only about dozen from ali the Can
yon creek district have secured the
cards. OF those VINO remain many are

the week
