The Coroner's Inquest.
The inquiry into the death of Lock
Woo occupied the attention of Coroner
Butts and a jury during the greater part
of yesterday afternoon. The testimony
was taken down on the typewriter by F.
D. Hill before a jury composed of Chas.
Hall, Samuel Klein, Fred D. Hill, F. N.
Hill, M. F. Rice, Tbos. Haslan.
The first witness examined was C. H.
tokes, whose testimony had no direct
bearing in the case, but was about see
ing the man who was murdered, chased
by another Chinaman at a previous
time. W. H. Loch head testified as to
seeing the men cross the street and
the incidents after the stabbing. J. H.
Elakeney told about finding the sus
pected murderer, Harry, in the shed
back of Skibbe's and of discovering, in
Yee Sing's wash house, Lee Cbing, who
was charged by the dying man of assist
ing in the killing. The officer testified
that Harry was not accustomed to sleep
ing in the place where he was found but
has lived in a house in Front street. Ed.
Kreamen, who was standing 'on the cor
ner of Metz & Ptindt's saloon, told sub
stantially, as the proceeding .witnesses,
of seeing the Chinamen cross the street
and that after the stabbing, the three
men ran away. He also told of the
identification by Lock Woo of the fellow
Harry. Sheriff Driver, F. W. L. Skibbe
and John Bird also gave important testi
mony. Mr. Skibbe stated that the ac
cused man had worked five or six years
in the hotel and bad behaved himself
properly daring that time. The China
man at different times bad used the
place where be was arrested as a sleep
ing room. Just before his capture by
the officers he came into the bar room
and asked for a drink, saying: "Me
time to sleep, me want to make fire."
Doctors Sutherland and Doane told of
their being called to attend the wounded
man and described the nature of the
wound. The wound was about an inch
and a quarter in width and six inches
long near the angle ribs on the left side
between the ninth and tenth ribs. Both
physicians identified the knife shown
them, as being the instrument which
caused the Chinaman's death. Two of
the defendants were in court and sat in
tently watching all the proceedings,
even though the greater part wna unin
telligible to thein. They perfectly real
ize the dangers of their position and give
every sign of being much frightened.
After the evidence was completed the
jury retired, and in a few minutes re
turned with the following verdict :
"We, the undersigned, duly im
panelled te inquire into the cause of the
death of the Chinaman 'Lock Woo,' and
having heard the testimony of the wit
nesses, duly sworn to the facts in the
case find that the Chinaman, Lock Woo,
came to his death" through a knife
wound given by the Chinaman Lee Git,
alias Harry, and assisted by two China
men, Lee Cning and ei Youen.

8tonee, which, when polished, ake on a
rich lustre. Among the specimens was
a water agate which will cauae admira
tion from all beholders. Inside of a
bard, white rock, easily transparent,
can be seen a drop of water in a grove
about twice the length of the water
drop. The rtone can be turned till the
water flows to and fro in its narrow
walls like in a carpenters level. The
age of the agate is beyond calculation
and the imprisoned drop remains from a
time far beyond human ken. " Profeesor
Condon, Oregon's famous geologist, baa
expressed an opinion that the coast
upon which we live is older than the
continent of Europe. It would be qnite
a temptatation to break open the agate
and see how a drop of water thousands
of years old would taste.
