In sorting over the mail at the Portland Postofflce yesterday morning, the clerk came upon a lady's gold-filled watch and fob which had Teen dropped into the aperture where the packages are mailed. The watch was turned over to Postmaster Minto. who is somewhat at a loss to account for the in cident. At first glance the watch appears to be a valuable timepiece, "but upon clows examination it is found that the works, arc of no account, and that it is probably worth not more than $3. Mr. Mlnto be lieves that some sneak thief snatched it from a woman's dress in the crowded cor ridors of the PostoSlcc building, and, finding that it -was valueless, dropped it in the mall as a safe way of getting rid of it. The watch will be held at the Postofllce. to be turned' over to the owner if she will call and describe lu TRIES TO KILL GARDNER W. X. Matlock Takes Two Shots at . Mini. Clayton Gardner, of 67 Third street, ejected "W. N. Matlock from the New Rosamond House, located at that num ber, at 2:33 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and Matlock hurried to' the Reliable Loan Office, secured a loaded revolver, re turned to the liouse and began firing at Gardner. He had but time to shoot twice when Patrol Driver Isaacs, attached to j UAH SHUE, WELL-TO-DO YOUNG CUINKSK 3IURDEHED BY 1.KK CHUNG 4 LAST EVENING. f 1 J. man named Look Fung Cheng, also -known as Lee Cheng, and his companion, a pretty Chinese girl, was stabbed but not fatally injured by the murderer. Lee Cheng was captured by Watchman Childress and lodged In the City Prison. According to the girl, who was present .when the shooting occurred, the murdered man and his murderer became involved in a quarrel over her affections, and Chung pulled a revolver and fired throe shots, two of which took effect In Mah Shuc's body, penetrating the right breast just below the nipple, and passing through the lungs, lodged in the back. One ' of the bullets is believed to have pierced tJic heart, for death was almost instantan eous. After shooting Shue, Chung turned Jils attention to the girl, and stabbed her Jn the right breast with an eight-inch bowie knife, and after throwing his weapons in the adjoining bedroom, fled down stairs and into the street. Quong Gee Follows Murderer. Quong Gee, a friend of the dead man having rooms up stairs, heard the shoot ing and rushed down stairs, and seeing Chung running, gave chase and was al most abreast of the murderer when Clarence Childress intercepted the fleeing man. Quong told Childress of the shoot ing, and that Chung was probably the man who had done it, and the watchman escorted both to the station, where Chung was searched and locked up. Jailer Robson noticed the prisoner in an effort to wipe his left hand, and seizing him by that wrist, examined the hand, and found the palm to be powder-burned and to have several spots of blood on the lingers. The Chinese girl who was In the apart ments of 'Shue Is said to be his sweet . heart. Her name was given as Jen Yeng. and she Is about 23 years of age. The weapons used by the murderer were a 41-callbcr revolver of the six-shooter type, and three of the sheila-were found to have been exploded, two of which found lodgment in the body of the vic tim, while the other went through one of the windows of the room and lodged in a. casement across the street. VJctlm Is Wealthy. The dead man is supposed to have been wealthy, and is said to have owned sev eral hop farms in the "Willamette Valley. His slayer worked for the Chinese firm of Hop Slug Hong, at Second and Pine streets. At the time of the sh6oting It was thought that another tong war had brok en out, and all the available officers were sent to the scene by Acting Chlfcf Gritz machcr. Detectives Carpenter. "Welch. Murphy. Hartman. Relslng and Vaughn wcrc.JiIso sent to the scene of the murder. Jon Ycng, the injured Chinese girl, was taken to the Good Samaritan Hospital, whore her injuries wcro found to bo merely superficial wounds, and not dan gerous. t District Attorney Manning vis ited her there with an interpreter, and faocured her statement of the murder. Deputy Coroner Arthur Fiuley took charge of the corpse, and secured tho names of the witnesses, Quong Gee, "Wall How and Jen Yeng. and will have them appear at the inquest, which will be held today, providing the wounded jrlrl is able to be present. Watchman Clarence Childress, the man who effected the capture of the murderer, is a former special policeman, who was 'deposed by Mayor Lane In- order to make room for his pet, the former gambler, Dan Wagnon. Childress recently captured a burglar, who was found guilty tind sen tenced to five years In the penitentiary. Kinds Watch in IiCttcr-Chulc. Packages containing nearly every kind -of article imaginable drift Into the dcad- the first relief of police, rushed In and took both men to headquarters. Matlock was locked up on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon, and spent the night in jail, as he could not furnish ball of $250. Gardner was not injured, but considers his escape miraculous. He thinks he missed deatli by a very narrow margin. As soon as he saw Matlock approaching him with the weapon, he closed In on him :ind tried to wrench it Xrom Matlock's hand. This he was unable to do until two shots hsd been fired. Driver Isaacs chanced to be passing, and without wait ing to draw his revolver rushed In and placed both men under arrest. His act was praised by his suporior officers and those who witnessed it. Matlock was drinking yesterday and was said to be quarrelsome. He persisted in remaining In tho hotel and causing a. disturbance, and Mrs. Levins bad Gard nor eject him. This was what angered Matlock. Late last night Mrs. Matlock called at police headquarters and talked with her husband, after which she called up Mayor W. F. Matlock, of Pendleton, in an effort to secure ball. The case will come up this morning in the Municipal Court. APPROPRIATE MUCH WATER E. B. Colwcll Files Xollcc for Elec trical Corporation.
