 HELD FOR ASSAULT ON
 CHlNAMAN; COMES HERE

U. s. Marshal J. M. Tanner is expected to arrive from Wrangell tonight on the Dolphin with Jose Maria Rosas, Mexican who is bound over to the grand jury to answer to the charge of having attacked and nearly killed Bo Sing, a Chinaman, at Union Bay with butchers cleaver recently. Sing has fracture seven and a half inches long in his skull from the effects of the blow delivered and is in the hospital at Wrangell.
 The assault occurred in the bunk house of the cannery at Union bay. Bo Sing was in his bunk at the time and says that he was asleep. He had never had any trouble with Ros- sas and is unable to account for the assault Rossas claimed in the hearing held before the Commissioner at Wrangell that he was drunk at the time and did not know what he was doing. He was bound over to the grand jury under $10,000 bail which he was unable to furnish. Bo Sing is in a critical condition
