Trouble With JapS

A serious riot by Japanese ranch
hands occurred Thursday afternoon on
the place of 7. B. Hutchins, about
fifteen miles above MarvsvilTe. 1t
arose over Japanese slapping white
boy. The father responded by knock
ing his sons assailant down, and was
himself felled by the blow of a heavy
fruit box in the hands of another Japa-
nese. The yard boss and several white
men rushed to the rescue, but were
met by flying hammers, boxes and
rocks thrown by over score of brown
men, and forced to retreat, pursued
by the bowling, infuriated Orientals.
One Jap succeeded in approaching the
yard boss close enough to hit him ON
the head with hammer, telling him
to the ground in an unconscious con-
dition. Others were badly hurt. The
Japanese then sullenly retired and
later sattered. Two have been arrested
and others will be as fast as located.
