JONG WAR CLAIMS VICTIM
Denver in Throes of Trouble Be
tween Rival Highbinders.
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.

large number of claims have been as
signed, against the Spring Valley "Water

The plaintiff attributed the loss sustained
to the inadequacy of the Spring Valley
