was largely responsible for the trouble.
The cause Of the killing OF Monahan
was most unusual. The Japanese
labors were in a freight car which was
being hauled out OF Calionte. The
freight train accidently broke in two.
causing a collision which.shook up the
Japanese con.iderably. The latter,
assuming that the train crew was re-
sponsible Tor the accident, ATTACKED
the men with clubs and stones, drove
them away aud took possession OF the
train. The crew appealed to the Cali
ente authorities for assistance and
Deputy Sheriff Monahan responded,
When he approached the train he was
shot and killed. The arrests followed.
