MURDERED BY cinnamon.
HORRIBLE BUTCHERY OF CHEF
OF POLICE MAIN.
His body Found Covered with
Earth, Gashed, Hacked and
Broken-Two Cinnamon Arrested

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer
VANCOUVER, April 1.-THE body OF
Chief OF Police Alex Main of Steyeston,
VINO disappeared last Saturday, was found
late this afternoon. He had been muir
dered, apparently, shortly after his dis
appearance. and his horribly mutilated
BODY was found buried near where he
had evidently been killed. Main left
Steyeston, which is the headquarters of
the salmon-iishing industry on the Frazer
river, early on Saturday morning. He
was going a couple of miles down the
Deach to search some Chinamens shacks
there for stolen property. He intended
TO return in three hours at the most but
not much anxiety was felt when he did
not show up the same evening. 1t was
thought he was away on some other
quest.
Since Sunday morning. however, search
parties have been out. AT 3 O'Clock this
afternoon Joseph Trites was walking
along the dixie, near the Chnamens
snacks, which Main had intended to
search. He noticed some new ground
about 100 yards from the nearest house.
and idly stuck a fence picket into the
manure that partly covered the new
earth. He touched Mains boot. He got
help. and few minutes later they pulled
out Mains body.
Mains throat was cut. evidently with
sharp knife or razor and a great
cash laid open the side of his face. His
hands We're cut off from the forearm. A
dozen or more wounds covered the part Of
his body that was not literally hacked
to pieces. Both legs were broken below
the thighs. He had evidently been
thrown into the hastily dug hole head
first, for the nearly severed neck allowed
the head TO be pushed down tight over
his breast 1t appeared that, besides
being cut with n knife he had been
smashed repeatedly with a pickaxe or
bludgeon, and, in this way his legs were
broken. The body OF Mains big dog had
been similarly dealt with and had been
thrown into the hole before his master $
body.
This morning the two Cinnamon who
lived I'm the building which Main had
gone to visit, were arrested by Detective
Wylie of Vancouver. Wyiie went through
the shack and found the stolen property
that Main had been looking for. 1t has
since been identified by a resident of
Steveston. A third Chinaman, VINO lived
in the same cabin, disappeared early this
morning and has apparently been swal-
lowed up by the earth. The evidence
against the Cinnamon Is so strong that
the police party has left TO arrest the
seven other Cinnamon living in the mme-
date neghborhood The two Celestials
already in jail are All Quong and Jim
Chung.
Main had been chief of police at
Steveston for three years and was very
popular. He leaves a wife. but no chill
