light was thrown on the inside

panies at times when tong wars break
out into murder during the trial in
Judge Sturtevsnts court yesterday of
a case in which william s. Barnes, the
lawyer. sued the Ping Kong tong for
$3.50 for legal services. Barnes was re-
tanned by the president of the tong to
defend Fong Hong. accused of the mur-
der of Leong. Yuen, who was killed
in Chinatown April 2S, 1908. The mur
der case was dismissed after prelimi-
nary hearing in the police court.
Barnes contends that his contract,
made with Louie Toon. president of the
tong was for a fee of $1,000, of which
he was paid but $3.50. Toon testified
that $3.50 was the amount he agreed to
pay. In support of his assertion that
only the smaller fee was contracted for
Louie Toon said that the six companies
had compromised the case and that it
would not be prosecuted by the Gee
Dong tong, of which the dead man was
a member.
DO you mean it was agreed among
the six companies there would be no

Judge Sturtevant
Yes" was the answer.
Did you tell that TO Barnes?"
L told him that the six companies
had settled with the Gee Dong tong
that the case would not be prose
cuted'
To Philip Walsh. attorney for the
Ping Kong tong. the witness stated
that he made his contract with Barnes
through an interpreter, Wun Jake
Nam, and that there was no other
white man but Barnes present. Wun
Jake Nam testified to the same effect,
saying the contract was for $3.50
This was directly contradicted by
Barnes and his partner, H. II. McCIos-
key. Both stated that Wun Jake Nam
was not present when the contract was
made Barnes said that no statement
was made to him about the six COM
panies having compromised the case
Judge Sturtevant took the case under

UNDER WATER
Storm Along the K. & w. Did Much
Damage Near the Town of
Memphis.

Memphis Revielle: An enormous
amount Of damage 10 growing crops
and to farm and railroad property was
caused by veritable cloudburst' in
this immediate vicinity. An almost
continuous rain visited this section
since Sunday night and as result the
Fabius and Wyaconda rivers are on
rampage.
Three thousand feet of railroad
track was under water on Tuesday
and great deal of damage was done
the embankment. At the hour or
our going to press the work train was
strengthening the roadbed in the
vicinity of Crawford, hoping to be
able to get trains through In day or
two. Trains that were started west
Tuesday and Wednesday were unable
to proceed any further than this
place.
| The damage to growing crops can
scarcely be Appropriated, but It Is
certain to aggregate many thousands
OF dollars. Hundreds of acres of corn
| in the Fabius bottoms were over
| flowed and ruined-involving farmers
| who can lily afford the loss. A num-
| Der Of large pickle patches were like
wise destroyed. Among the losers
are J. p. Knight and sons, Arthur
Clark, Carson Angelo and Rev. Nc
CURE and others whose names we do
not recall w. D. BRIGGS had rye m
shock on his land near town and 1t
was totally destroyed. Oats and fine
meadows have been washed out and
ruined. William Leach and DIN
Shackelett each had fine fields of corn
and which promised heavy yields, but
they are total loss.
4 On the Wyaconda the same condi
TOMS prevail. S. N. Southmayd hat
his wheat in shock ard it was carried
away, as was also e. lot of shocked
wheat belonging to John Dehart
northeast of town. Much growing
corn on the Wyaconda bottoms are
dead loss.
Monday nights rain put the For
man branch in the north and cas-
part of town on a rampage and as ;
result the interior of the home o
Isaac Roger in the usst part OF tow
was badly damaged by the turbulen
stream. About two feet of waite
was in his house.

terday morning. number of enthus-

different opinions regarding rules for
certain classes of entries, etc.
w. e. Hughey of Bellevue, owner OF
the Red Top, had proposition for
long distance race from ST. Paul to
st. Louis. 1t is a sportsrnan's offer
in every respect. He will enter his
boat the Red Top, H., in race from
st. Paul to st. Louis, the entry zee 70
be $500. the winner of the race to take
the purse. The race would be open for
all boats forty feet long or under. and
would be one of the most unusual ana
longest race for power boats ever
d held in this country. Such race
would have the effect of interesting
motor boat enthusiasts far and VIDE.
MI. Hughey is thoroughly in earnest
about his offer. If there are any other
Epower boat owners who desire to enter
! he would like to hear from them II
may be possible to rull off this race
during the present summer. Such a
contest OF human and mechanical en-
/ dnrance and speed would be witnessed
