PORTLAND. Nov. 5.--Harnam Singh,
the Hindu who was shot in the leg by
thugs while he was sleeping in MS
cabin at Jarl L Pagh's mill near Boring.
last Thursday night, and who since that
time has been lying at the Good Samari-
tan Hospital died about ! o'clock this
morning, Singh's leg was badly in
jured. the bone being shattered and
hmputation being considered necessary.
He opposed having the member ampu-
tated. however, and the surgeons in at
tendance gave in. When be grew worse
Yesterday they changed their minds and
determined to perform the operation
today. His death during the night pre-
vented this.
British Consul James Laidlaw has
been following the case since the shoot
ing, as Singh is British subject and
is supposed to have formerly been a
member of the native corps of the Brit
ish army. Mr.. Laidlaw this morning
denied the report that he had demanded
indemnity, and said his only interest in
the case was to see that justice was
done.
When Singh's papers were searched
this morning it was found that he had
wife in India to whom he had been
sending money during his short resi-
dence in this country.
Singh and his brother were sleeping in
a shack near the mill at the time Of
the shooting. Singh had just been EN-
ployed by the mill people. They were
aroused by the shots, is bullets pene-
trating the building. The only one that
took effect was the one which struck
Singh in the leg. Racial feeling had
been running high in the camp as the
result of the employment Of the Hindus,
and it is supposed that this is what
caused the shooting.

been the man who shot Singh. Dicken-
