-"Where Her Injuries Arc
Pronounced Slight.
aiah Shue. a wcll-to-fio Cliincsc, about
"SS jycars of age, was murdered at his
rooms in the Cook building: about 6:30
oiclock last evenhijr by a fellow-country-
lctter office at one time or another, but
so far as is known yesterday occurred
the first instance of & person depositing
in the mail Jewelry unwrapped and with
out address or other indication of the
sender or intended recipient. 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

4 LAST EVENING. f

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.
