STATUS OF THE chIhAMAN.

Learned Judge Decided He CouIdnS
Be Chased ss Human"
Private" John Allen has a fund Of
stories illustrating the peculiar brand
Of Justice that used To be meted out at
Langtry. Texas. by the celebrated
Squire Roy Bean.
According to Mr.. Allen, Squire
Bean once sat In judgment in the mat
ter of the killing at Langtry Of =
Chinaman by q local character named
Jim Anderson.
With great solemnity Bean listened
10 the evidence offered, Of which no
small part was contributed BY Ander-
son himself. Bean had at various
times during the proceedings consult
cd 4 book before him. When he
spoke II was somewhat as follows:
This here book. which il a Texas
law book, says that homicide is the
killing Of human-male or female.
Furthermore, It appears from the book
that there's various sorts of homicide
murder. granddaughter. plain homi-
eide. negligent homicide. justifable
homicide and praiseworthy homicide
Then. agin, there's three kind Of hu-
mans. white men. niggers and Mexi.
cans II stands to reason that a China
man amt human. II Chinaman
was human. a killing of him would,
the court thinks. come under the head
Of praiseworthy homicide. The pris'-
ner is discharged on the condition he
pays for the costs and has the Chink
buried. d."-Collier's
