Item From Chenowetli.
Editor Chkoniclk As I have never
seen any items from this neighborhood,
I thought I would send you one, which
is of great importance to us in this com
munity, and hope it will interest others.
During the past week Rev. J. W. Jen
kins and family and Father G. H. Bar
nett and wife have been visiting the
family of G. F. Arnold, and during the
time Rev. Jenkins preached five excel
lent discourses, preaching in the house
in the evening and in the grove near by
in the afternoon. Great interest was
manifested, and a move is already oa
foot for the erection of a church build
ing. Plans have been made, and about
one-fourth the amount subscribed. The
houEe wilt be 24x34 feet, and cost about
$200, outside of tbe labor, which will be
done mostly by donation. Ground has
been donated by G. F. Arnold on which
to erect the building, and a suitable
place selected. The house will be open
to all orthodox denominations.

A COLD BLOODED MURDER.
A. Chinaman Stabbed by Bis Country
men this Morning;- The Onilty
Parties Probably Arrested.
A cold-blooded murder was committed
on Front street this morning a little
alter 12 o'clock. Lock Woo, a chinaman
who doeB janitor work in different sa
loons was stabbed near the heart and'
received a wound from which he died at
5 o'clock this morning. Parties sitting
on Baldwin's corner saw four Chinamen
crossing the street between Frazier's
barber shop and the old Snyder restaur
ant. When near the doorway of the
latter place, two of the men suddenly
seized a third while the remaining one
plunged a knife into the struggling vic
tim's side. Instantly the perpetrators
fled, leaving the wounded man with the
knife blade sticking in his body. The
chinaman staggered into the house and
drew from his flesh the murderous steel.
By this time the proprietor of the house
was awakened and with the coming of
several, people, Doctors Doane and
Sutherland were summoned. When
the physicians arrived the chinaman
was still perfectly conscious and as the
doctor took his pulse said, "Maybe I die
now." Instantly perceiving the mortal
nature of the wound, the doctors were
anxious to have the proper parties
identified if possible. City Marshal
Blakeney, with several men assisting,
took a hurried description of the assail
ants and proceeded first to Skibbe's
hotel, where is a shed in the rear, they
found a chinaman bid in the hay. He
was wide awake and had every appear
ance of having been recently running.
The man, whose English name is Harry,
was brought in the presence of Lock
Woo, who instantly identified him as
the man who did the stabbing. Further
search discovered a chinaman called Jim
Six, described as one of those who held
Lock Woo while Harry used the knife.
The wound caused was a fearful one. Tbe
physicians administered morphine and
made the man as comfortable as possi
ble till death came, a little after 5
o'clock. The blade entered just below
the heart and penetrated to a depth of
over three inches. In making arrests
tbe officers found it necessary to take
several men, who, while it is not be
lieved had anything to do with the ac
tive murder, may yet be able to throw
some light on the occurrence. This
morning there were six men in the city
jail and one confined in the county jail.
The dead man, who also went by tbe
name of Ket, was about 20 years old and
bore a peaceable disposition. He was
industrious, and as far as known, made
no contention among the Chinese ele
ment. There is no assignable motive
for the deed. The two men, who are
suspected of doing the killing, are hard
looking characters and are disposed to
be sullen and have little to say regarding
their actions last night. Harry has
been employed ia Skibbe's hotel, while
Jim Six has done odd jobs of janitor
worfc around town. The inquest will be
held sometime during the day, at which
further evidence may be produced. The

affair does not seem to create much ex
citement in China quarters and there is
a mysterious air about it which leads to
the impression that high-binder work is
at the bottom of it. Some of the Chinese
secret societies probably have a hand in
the killing.
