CORoNER's INQUEST.


At 10 o'clock yesterday morning,
Coroner Lindsay, with jury con-
sisting of the following named citizens,
G. J. Bumenthal, S. A. Devoe, S. p.
Forman, D. C. Smith, E. C. Gilmore,
H. f. Brallier, j. E. C. Williams and
c. r. Ford, held the inquest on the
body of the dead Chinaman.
DR.. c. L. Hammond was the first
witness examined and stated that he
held the autopsy on the body of Ping
Ling; found bruises and abrasions all
over him, and declared that death
was caused by wound on the fore
head, over the right eye, made by a
blunt instrument and causing fracture
of the skull and compression on the
brain.
Constable Hickey followed and told
of the finding of the body.
All Sam, the assistant of the dead
man, said the latter had lived in To-
nopah for two years and was 81 years
of age. On the night of the 18th
about IL o'clock, three men entered
the house and told him and Ping to
get out; struck him over the head
with guns and struck Ping with a
Ratchet. They then took them down
about a mile and half and after
making them give up their money,
told them to go and if they came back
they would hang them. The witness
recognized the clothes of the dead
Chinaman.
Woh On Hi, the Chinese doctor,
said the mob called on him at 10
O'Clock and told him to get out, and
after expostulation, gave him twenty
four hours to get ready in. Recog-
nized Arandall as the leader of the
crowd and said Arandall choked him.
James Giles was present when the
first crowd invaded Chinatown. 1t
was very dark, but thought he rec
ognized two of the men. Did not
state who they were.
Ye Ling said his house was visited
the first time by forty or fifty men
and they told him to go, but gave him
till next day to settle up his affairs.
Six men came back after IL o'clock,

FOR SHRINE OF STE. ANNE.
Minneapolis Pilgrims Numbering
More Than 100 Will Set Out
i. Tomorrow Evening

Upwards of a hundred Minneapolitans,
chiefly French Canadians, will leave to-
morrow night over the 500 road on a
personally conducted" tour to the noted
shrine of Ste. Anne de Beaupre, near
Quebec. They will remain a month or
more, passing part Of the time at the
shrine and part at their old homes.
Pilgrims are numerous every summer at
Beaupre Many will go from Minnesota
this year by way Of Duluth and the twin
cities; many more will go from Michigan.
. According to tradition, the first shrine
of Ste. Anne was erected on the north
bank Of the st. Lawrence seven leagues
northeast Of Quebec, some years before
1915. The first church of Ste. Anne was
built in 1868 and the fourth church, the
present basilica, in 1872. The first mira
cles are said to have been performed at
the shrine by the intercession of Ste.
Anne as early as 1861.

THEY WANT BEYERIDGE
Senator Barkis Of Indiana Says
Hoosiers Would Make Him
Vice President.

"The people Of Indiana are anxious to
see Senator Beverage the next vice presi-
dent Of the United States" said James S..
Barkis this morning. Mr.. Barkis, an at
torney, is state senator from Terre Haute,
and an influential republican. He is in
Minneapolis Oil a business GRAND.
Senator Beveridge was elected with
difficulty" continued Mr.. Barkis. .He
still has a good many silent opponents
among the party leaders in Indiana. But
he has secured so strong a hold upon the
people Of the state that he will be re-
elected in 1905 without a doubt.
It's his oratorical brilliance, the way
that he thrills his hearers with patriotic
sentiment developed by every artifice Of
oratory, that has made the senator pop
ular. And believe that he would help
Roosevelt's campaign The president him
self will have to work chiefly from Wash
ington or Oyster Bay. The people will
miss the spectacular inspiration Of his
first campaign say that with all re-
spect to the president, whom i've sup
ported since he first ran for governor in
New York And It's just this enthusiastic
spirit that Senator BeYeridge could sup-s
ply. His campaign for the vice presi-
dency would break the magnetic record
of Plumed Knight Blaine.
But Beveridge himself doesn't want to
be nominated as q, running mate. He's a
statesman, as he himself knows; he's got
work before him In the senate; and he
isn't willing to be shelved. to be kicked
upward to the idle honor OF the vice
presidency.

NEW NECR0LOGIC RECORD
Minneapolis Bar Association Adopts
New Plan for Recording
Court Memorials.

At meeting of the executive commit
teeof the Minneapolis Bar association, held
yesterday, new plan fas adopted in re-
gard, to necrologic proceedings It has
been customary in the past to call a
meeting Of the bar upon the death Of
some prominent member, and spread me-
MORALS upon the records Of the court
These memorials have been mingled with
other court proceedings and scattered
thru the various volumes.
At the meeting yesterday, the president
of the Bar association was authorized to
arrange from time to time for suitable
representation Of the bar at funerals of all
members of the bar, and was directed TO
appoint a standing committee on me-
MORALS. This committee is to keep a
record Of all deaths occurring in the year,
and report them to the association. at Its
annual meeting, with brief biography Of
each deceased. The committee is also d.
rected to furnish the district court with
a copy Of the report; and the clerk of
the district court has volunteered to com
pile the copy, In q book which the Bar
association will furnish for that purpose,
all the memorials which are now scattered
thru the many books of record. The
court will probably be asked to fix an
annual memorial day for the reception Of
these biographies and mem orials, and for
the hearing Of such oral comments on the
deceased as their friends may desire to
make.
This is plan similar to that practiced
by the National Bar association, and will
furnish complete biographical record in
compact form Of all deceased members of
the Henneptn county bar.
A committee was also authorized to
submit a plan for associate membership in
the Minneapolis Bar association, which
will give members of the bar, who do not
own stock, some of the privileges of the
association.
The secretary reported very satisfac-
tory increase in the membership, and the
association seems generally to be more
active and prosperous than it has for some
time.

FOR THE OUTING FUND
The Sunshine soclety WIN :. Give 4.
operetta to Aid Seasons ~ :

= g
The Minneapolis branch Of The Sum
shine society is. planning to give !. an
operetta this month or early in 9 August
to raise funds for the outing fund. In the,
south the Sunshine, societies own lodges,
Libraries and homes and 1t is the hope
that the Minnesota societies will be able
TO- own their lodges. The societies have
several girls in mind who are much in
need of an outing and it Is their intention
to raise enough completely to furnish and
maintain two cottages at Lake Chisago
which Mrs. Charles Neil Jewett, first
vice president Of the Missouri division
of the Sunshine society, has given to the
Minneapolis societies for the summer sea-
son. The girls and their mothers will
be taken out to the cottages and given
a perfect rest and the society will defray
all expenses.
Miss Bessie Morse, a prominent
dramatist of st. Louis, will direct the
operetta, which is entitled Mother Goose
Jubilee or Visitors from Wonderland
There are about 100 characters in the
cast and several solosts will appear. Miss
Addie Thomas, formerly of this CITY
sing and whistle. The first rehearsal
took place this afternoon at the. z. M.
G. A. rooms. The directors have tried
to see many of the children, but it has
been Impossible to visit all and It is the
wish Of the directors and those who have
the matter in charge that parents whose
children have not been personally invited
will send them to the rehearsals.
Contributions received by T h J O u r.

NO single institution is doing so much
Tor the welfare Of the northwest as the
Minnesota state fair. Realizing the truth
OF this proposition. the Retailers Asso-
citation of Minneapolis, always friendly to-
ward the fair, Is about to inaugurate a
special campaign in the interests of the
fair of 1908. w. L. Harris, president OF
the association, has taken an active in
terest In the state fair and manifested his
beilef IN its possibilities by erecting on
the grounds last year a building to rep
resent his own interests. He believes that
by intelligent and systematic co-opera-
ton, the Retailers association can do
much to boom the fair, and at the same
time to bring great many people to
Minneapolis. For the discussion of the
best methods Of doing this. the Retailers
association will meet next Monday at 4
p. m. at the Hotel Nicollet. At this meet
ing there will be representatives of the
fair and there will be general discus
sion of the outlook for the fair of 1908
and the means to be employed to secure
the object Of the association.
