SAN FRANCISCO, June 16.——’1‘he Chroni- ds’s Hawthorne (Nev.) dispatch gives the ghastly details of the killing of a China- m’an, Ah Ti, at Bridgeport, Cal. It is re- ported to the Chinese legation here that Poke1 Tom, a Piute Indian, disappeared five weeks ago, and his body was found out into small pieces and packed in brine. Ah Ti gm- e the Indians a big feast a few days after Poker Tom disappeared and served some choice delicacies which the - Indians greatly relished. The Indians be- lieve that Ti made a fricassee of Tom’s head and heart and served it at the feast. Last Monday night the Chinaman gave himself up to the police, as he feared an attack from Indians. Indians kept guard around the jail all night, fearing that Ti would get away. Next morning Ti was arraigned on a charge of murder. He ad- mitted the killing, but said it was done' In self defense. He said he killed Tom with a club and then cut the body up to escape detection. The justice of the peace ae- quitted Ti. As he was leaving the courtroom, the Indians seized him, bound him with a rope and led him a half mile from town. Then a brother of Tom cut off one arm. The Chinaman cried piteously, but the Indians cut off his other arm. Then they cut ofl both his legs and his head, out his breast open with a cleaver and scattered his en- trails through the sage brush. Two hundred armed Indians were pres- ent, and the butchery was witnessed by two white men. As the sheriff did not pro- test, no one interfered with the Indians. The lawyers and the justice of the peace are blamed for acquitting T', as it was known if they turned him oose the In- dians would kill him. “FRITZ” IS DEAD.

A Most llOll‘lble Railroad Tlagedy Enacted in Switzerland. OVER A HUNDRED VICTIMS. A Careful Estimate Places the Number of Dead at 120, with Hundreds Also Diore or Less Injured—A Train Crashes Through a Bridge.‘ BERNE, June 16.—One of the most hor- rible railroad tragedies ever enacted in Switzerland occurred yesterday near Bale; on the Moenchenstcin and Bale railroad. Two engines and a train of passenger car riages, Loaded with excursionists en route to the musical festival at Moenchenstcin, were crossing a bridge when the structure gave way, and the shrieking, struggling mass of humanity was dashed down to death in the stream below. The scene was agonizing in the extreme as the fearful battle against death was go. ing on in the water and victim after vic tin1,w:th piercing shriek,s sank to rise no more. Three of the carriages and the en- gines now form a shapeless heap oi wreckage beneath the bridge structure, and two other carriages are suspended practically in the air-caught in the twisted iron of the structure. Had these gone down also the loss of life. would have been appalling. A Hundred and lwenty Dead. Theunost careful estimate of the num' ber 'of‘dead places the figure at 120, with hundreds more or less injured. Until the wreck has been cleared away and the bod- ies of the victims recovered from the river and beneath the debris it is impossible to say just how much greater than this esti- mate the loss of life will prove to be. Gangs of men are working with untiring energy to recover the bodies of these vic- tims and to clear away the wreck. Bale has by this calamity been transformed into a veritable city of mourning, as most of the victims of yesterday’s appalling ac- cident were among her leading citizens. Hardly a street but has its houses bearing the symbol of mourning. The railway station platform and the approaches to the hospitals are alike crowded with palefaced men and weeping women who came forward to look upon the features of the dead or severely wound- ed as they are conveyed on stretchers and in ambulances to homeor hospital. The Fete Abandoned. The musical fete at Moenchenstcin was abandoned as soon as the news of the acci~ dent arrived, and hundreds of villagers hurried to the scene to assist in rescuing - the victims. The bridge was an iron skeleton struc- ture, which was considered well built and substantial. The only apparent reason for the collapse of the bridge is that the train left the rails and threw its entire weight onone side of the span. The uncertainty as to how many bodies may rest beneath the wreck adds to the strain and excitement of the time, and everywhere people are anxiously attempt ing to locate absent relatives and friends. While the ironwork of the bridge seems to have snapped like apipestem the ma sonry remains intact. One Afraid and the Other Dare Not. SAN FRANCISCO, June 16.—In- a statemenl published this morning President Fulda, of the California Athletic club, states that the club has in every way endeavored tr. encourage legitimate sport, but had been imposed on so often they were forced to make rules for their own protection. Jackson and COrbett, President Fulda says, were instructed to fight to a finish, but although each had victory within his grasp, they refused. Both principals de- cided not to take any risk, and preferred to save their friends’ money and their own reputal ions in preference to keeping theil agreement with the club. The referee could only decide as he did. Defaultcr Holt Arrested.
