DENVER. Colo.. Nov. 30.-Chtnatown lure U In the throe of its first hish b'.ndor war. brought on by a fight bet-aeon owners of gambling-houses for the exclusive right to operate fantan games aid lotteries. The deatb yesterday of Yee Lone, a gambler. Is ascribed to the battle of the tongs. The body of Tee was found In an alley In tlie Chinese quarter. That be died of poison, was made evident by his contorted face and twisted limbs and a note in Chinese, found in his blouse. The note reads: "They are here from San Francisco. Soon I must go to my fathers. Whether bv the broad-bladed ax or by dust -of the dragon's tail, it matters not: This I know, I go. I coihroend my spirit to Buddha, the ail wise and merciful." A searching examination of the body failed to reveal any marks of violence. It Is believed by "dust of the dragon's tail" Yee referred to some potent Orien tal poison. If the crime can be traced to any of the Chinese who have recently come to Denver. Chief Armstrong says that he will order, a clean-up of the district and deport Mock Duck and his friends, to gether with the new arrivals from San Francisco. Sell Edwin Booth's Trunks.
