lowed about three miles, till nearly *
hausted and probably unconscious Of
HIS actions, he wandered OF into a
wash to the right Of the road and there
fell. face downward, alongside Of . big
rock, which he clutched and sDattered
with blood in his death struggle. Here
Thursday morning the body Was locAt-
co by Constable Scott Hiskey, who had
tracked him almost to the place of
his death by the pools Of blood along
the road and trail.
While the six or eight members Ut
the mob wore escorting the Chinese
down the canyon, those who remained
behind put in their time ransacking
and looting the Chinamens' houses,
the Cinnamon remaining having de-
serted their homes and sought places
of safety. In this manner the marau-
ders secured several hundred dollars
in money and valuables.
All the time that the outrages we're
occurring in Chinatown the balance
Of the town slept in ignorance of what
had happened, which was probably
due to the fact that the one or two
whites who had been witnesses to the
outrage fAiled to appreciate ito NAG
nitude, and to the further fact that
the Cinnamon were 20 badly frighten-
ed that they did not dare open their
heads.
Nearly all OF the men under arrest
are members of the Labor Union, Aran-
dali being president and Breusing, re-
c0rding secretary. What evidence 10
in possession Of the officers to con.
meet most Of them with the outrages
has not been made public, but it IL
stated that enough has been secured
to convict at least four or five Of them
of robbery and at least two Of them Of
murder. Two men are thought to have
aided in the outrage have secreted
themselves and cannot be found, ami
it is thought they have skipped.
James l.. Butler, who at present is
in San Francisco. telegraphed his
agents as follows: If what read be
true regarding abuse of Chinese, it is
an outrage to the people of Tonopah
II the people do not fight this case,
hope they may never prosper. I will
give $500 to any fund for prosecution

thirty to fifty. men met in the southern

in body to Chinatown. Arriving
there they entered first one Chimes &c
house and then another, alarming the
occupants in some instances, checking
them in others, and commanding them
forthwith to leave town under penalty
Of being hanged tho the following day
If they failed to comply with the Of

h1ndred-an -forty-ftfth-st, was instantly killed
Yesterday by falling from the twelfth story tic the
cellar of a building in course of construction at
No West Thirty-6rst-st. The man had ex-
pressed the fear for several weeks that he would
be killed in the manner in which he met his death
This fear was due to a nervousness he could not
overcome. Five years ago Benzinger went into the
grocery business in The Bronx and ran store
until four months ago. when he decided that there
was too much work attached to it, and that he
could make more money and have more time with
his family If he worked again at his trade. His
brother julius is a foreman employed on the build
ing in Thirty hrst-st., and Otto hired by him.
Yesterday afternoon Benzinger was working on
a scaffold on the twelfth story, when he lost his
balance and fell backward through air shaft
His body descended unobstructed TO the cellar
and nearly every bone in 1t broken. He was
seen TO fall by his brother: He was pronounced
dead by Dr. Barringer, of the New-York Hospital
Benzinger's widow was Frustrated by the news
OF his death. She said that almost every day he
would pray before he left his home that he would
see his wife and children again.
