DRAYAGE BUSINESS
VERY COMPLICATED

Hereafter, when a family in the
city changes its place of residence,
that fact will be recorded in the Of
flee of Recorder Fitz Gerald or If
man should happen TO hire a dray to
transfer some of his personal effects
to some other place in the city, he
must notify the driver of the dray
whether or not such transfer means
that he is leaving the city or chang
ing his domicile or what not. If he
doesn't furnish such information up
on request, the poor drayman is
doomed to pay a fine of ten dollars
or less, for it Is so written in an or
dinance passed by the council last
night
The ordinance in question is one
substituted for the one recently in
troduced in the council through agi-
tation by the regular draymen for q
city law that would not permit any
man to haul baggage, passengers,
merchandise or anything else for hire
or compensation without first obtain
ing q license. The clause relating to
the change Of residence was tackled
on to the substitute presumably to aid
the merchants to keep careful tab up
on their debtors 1t requires a dray-
man to appear at the office of the
city recorder within three days after
he has hauled household goods or
baggage from one part of the city to
another and to file information re-
garding such transfer.
The main part of the ordinance
simply provides for the licensing OF
teams and wagons hauling for hire

hauling grain hay or other farm
produce, freight wagons hauling mer.

CHINAMAN MURDERED
OR KILLED HIMSELF
Coroner Ascertains That
Wong Tong Died of
Hanging
Fellow COuntryman First Reports
Natural Death and Later Declares
Man Suicided.

Wong Fong. the celestial who was
reported to have died in the city
Tuesday night. did not succumb 10
q disease but died a violent death by
hanging and is either the victim of
a suicide or murder This was the
startling discovery made this morn
ing by Coroner Ralph Folsom and he
will probably hold an inquest to de-
termine the responsibility of the
crime.
Coroner Folsom was summoned
yesterday morning to take charge of
the body of the dead Chinaman. his
countrymen in the wash house on
Railroad street telling the undertake
er that the man had been suffering
from a disease for a long time and
he'd finally died from it,
This morning, however, Glen Stur-
divant, Coroner Folsom's assistant,
heard it rumored about that the Chi
naman had been hanged, Examining
the body with the coroner, the marks
of a rope about the mans throat were
plainly to be seen and the two men
became convinced that the rumors
were based on the truth.
Coroner Folsom this morning went
to the house from where the body
had been taken and confronted the
only Chinaman there with the an
nouncement of his discovery. If he
is guilty of murder his impassive face
failed to betray the fact. yes" he
answered. "him sick. him hang him
self" This was all that could be
learned from him beyond the state
ment that he himself had cut the
body down
Coroner Folsom believes that the
facts of the case coupled with the
undercurrent of strife between Pacific
coast Chinese tongs, warrants a thor
ough investigation and will probably
impanel a jury.

Mexico City, Mex, Feb. 15.-Thirty-
seven federal troops today were killed

ing transported crashed through the

dicate that that city is surrounded by
q revolutionary force which threatens
t. destroy the town.

citizens last night chartered special
train on which they fled from the city,
and no news has been received con-
cerning them since they started. Grave
fears are felt for the safety of the
party.

unless General Trevino, who is in COM
mand of a federal force of fifteen hun
rher men, can arrive at the scene
within a short time, as the garrison
there is wholly insufficient to with
stand an assault by the rebels.
Rebels Defeat Federals.

sumed at santa Maria where the fed
