Cinnamon walked forth from the
courthouse yesterday free men after
over two years of incarceration in

Wong How were three of the nine
Cinnamon who were once found guilty

nection with the death of several of
their countrymen after shooting af'
fray on Aug. 2, 1907.

With Four Robbers.

Chicago.-A robber was shot and killed
by Detective Prindiville, of the Chicago

freight train, near Forest Home, H.,
Friday.
The battle was most thrilling one,
in which Detective Prindiville was pitted
against four desperate men. To add to
this handicap, the robbers threw a flash
light on him, almost binding him, and
making him splendid target for their
aim. Despite this advantage, none of
the bullets took effect. The detective,
who stood on an adjoining car, poured
deadly volley of bullets into the rob-
bers. During the fight the train was
going at a high rate of speed, and the
combatants had to balance themselves
to keep from being pitched to the
ground
