a ft ern oon before he could give any
coherent account of his adventure,
and even then could tell but little,
He remembers getting into a cab
1 about 7 o’clock to go home. Nothing
seemed very clear after that. The
opinion prevails that he was drugged
by thieves, and that, not being reduced
to a passive state he resisted and was
beaten. But it is all a mystery,

ly foreigners. Some hundreds of the

, themselves, caught two workmen,
who were trying to repair a track, and
heat and cut them about their heads
and faces witii clubs and coupling pips.

tered a “soup room” and made prep¬
arations for a fight to the death. The
lights were extinguished and tho
struggle opened between Bud Brown
and Dick Reese. Henry Reese pulled
a pistol and fired. His ball, instead
of hitting Brown, tore through tho
body of Dick. Whereupon, Dick,
thinking the other white man had fired
the shot, aimed in the direction of tho
