 Drunken Stupor
(From Tuesday's Daily)

CTS jury was summoned, and a verdict rendered that deceased came to his death by smothcring, while under the influence of lipor.
 About 2 o'clock, Richmond noticed Holden lying on the floor, where he was found dead fifteen minutes later, np. paren,ly in drunken stupor, but out side of snoring, Holden attracted little attention. When Richmond returned 10 that part of the building, later, he noticed Holden had ceased to snorc, and on approaching the body found life extinct. He immediately summoned other mechanics employed in the place. and later Coroner McLanc was sum. moncd and conducted the inquest.
 The body was found lying with the face downward. near the front window, with part of chew of tobacco on the floor, near the mooth, which he had apparently coughed from his mouth, with little mucous, in his death strug. gle. His face was of bluish tingc, showing he had died by strangulation or suffocation.
 Deceased was aged abou, 90 years and native of Illinois. He was a bricklaycr and plastcrcr by occupation and was strongly addicted to the use of liquor. Since his arrival here from ! Flagstaff, about year ago, he almost invariably became intoxicated every Saturday night. and rarely became sober enough to return to work befor, the following Wednesday. of late h, has been complaining of his heart be ing weak, during his sprecs, and often times appeared 10 be in great pain. Al ter coming here he worked on tn, Scopcl hotel building about seven o eight months, and in his sober time was recognized as first class me chanic.
 Those acquainted with him state h. told them ne had wife and six child ren living on n ranch in South Dakota about twenty-five miles north of New castle. Wyo.. and that he and his fam fly were friends of k. Rcardon, pro prietor of the Newcastle hotel.
 The remains were taken in charge b Maus & shannon, undertakers, and wi bc held awaiting word from his rels lives.

 CHINK TO SUICIDE
Tong Passes Sentence Of Death on Local Chinaman--"Hatchet Maj" Imported.
 Celestial Kills Himself

When this keynote was struck. the old mans doom was sealed. and n, n subsequent meeting the death scn,cnc. was passed upon him. The head Tong in San Francisco was notified that Quen had turned betraycr, and a "hatchct man" was asked ,o bc sent here Tor the purpose of killing him.
 A few days later Q representative of the Tong of San Francisco arrived m Prescott. Quen heard of his arrival. and saw him one day as he passed by the little shop on Granite street. AT. ter that Qucn kept close indoors. This was the highbindcr, declared Qucn. not alone to himself, but to Chief of Pc. lice Prince as well, calling upon the latter official twice, acquainting him with the state of affairs, and describing the hghbindcr that had been sent here to end his earthly career.
 Finally, as inc days passed. and Quen knew that sooner or later his death would be encompassed by the highbindcr, he yielded to what to him was tho inevitable, and disposed of his business, placed his affairs in shape, and prepared to die. The strain of knowing that he was being constantly watched, expecting hourly to feel the cold steel between his ribs, or a shot. perhaps. in the back, became too much for him, and Friday night he sent word to the Tong men Co call off their cmissary of death for a few hours, and he would carry out the death sen tcncc himself by committing suicide. This last request of the deceased was respected, and he immediately prepared for death, grim humor being displayed in his selecting tho cemetery as the place near which to end his earthly career.
 Qucn had been proprietor of mer' chnndizing establishment and gambling mousse on Granite street for many years up to n short time ago, and was fairly successful, being well supplied with coin of the realm. He had been in bad rcputc with the other Chinese since gambling was closed in this city, be ing accused of informing the police oi gambling games that were being con ducted in the Chinese colony. This, to gcther with his stand on the bribery question, led to the death sentence be ing passed upon him by the Tong.
 It was said in some quarters o Chinatown, last night, that m aneien Tong feud, dating back many years in China, also had something to do witl | it, and that Quen's family in th Flowcry Kingdom had been either al killed or arrested in the past fe' months, through orders of the Amer can Tong.

is $4,000.

jefferson Banner: Upon the con-
vening of the court at two O'Clock
Monday afternoon the case of John
Stafiel against the Milwaukee Light,
Heat Il Traction company was taken
up, John 6. Conway appearing for
the plaintiff, and Mr.. w. H. Woodland
o Watertown, and I. Ryan, of Wau-
kesha tor the company. The action is
brought to assess the damages to be
paid by the Inter Urban railway for
a right of way across Mr.. Stafiel s
farm in the town of Ixonia. Mr..
Stafiel and his witnesses claim that
the farm is worth $3.50 an acre and
that the value of the land actually
taken and the damage to the rest of
the farm by the roads running
through il is $4,000, while the Inter
Urban company claims that such an
amount is beyond all reason and that
the plaintiff ) damages are very much
lighter. The case il still on trail as
we go to press.
Four other cases of a similar charac-
ter for the assessment of damages for
the right of way across other property
in that neighbOrhood are on the calen-
dar and will follow the Stafiel case.
