A Fatal FeM Between Two Rival Factions. spies' ax n niaHitixnritS' work Special by Tho California As3ocutkd Pres3. L03 AngetjES, Cal., May 9. The Chinaman announced to be fatally shot at the riot last night, died this morning. The coroner s jury rendered a verdict to-night of death from a gunshot wound fired by a person or persons unknown. Even more than the usual quiet prevailed in China town to-night, tho principal cause being the fact that the Chinese theatre was not running. Ah Mow, tho pro prietor, had signified his intention of keeping open as usual, but certain movements on the part of tho enemy faction under Wong Ghee, caused him to alter his determination and tho theatre remained closed. The first move on the part of the Wong Ghee faction, was signalized by the hoisting of a large, triangular, crimson colored Hag, of peculiar de sign on the mast of the two-story joss house, early in the forenoon. At first it was not known what was the sig nificance of this signal, but it was finally ascertained that it was to call a meeting of the Bing Gung Tang's society, which was formed this week by Wong Ghee and his friends, with the avowed intention of wiping Ah Mow and his followers from the face of the earth. The society numbers probably about 230 Chinamen, many of them high binders. Letters received by some of Ah Mow's friends, from San Diego, state that more than a week ago, a case, containing two dozen forty-five calibre revolvers, and a number of coats of mail manufactured after tho oriental custom, of many layers of paper, had been shipped from San Diego, consigned to the Bing Gung Tong society, in Los Angeles. It was also rumored that a dozen or more lughbinders, might be expected in a few days. Acting on this information, Ah Mow closed his place and sent spies into the camp of his enemy. The scouts reiiorted that a meeting was in progress, that full 120 Chinese were present. Wong Ghee cannot be found to-night, but members of the opposi tion faction, claim he has left the city accompanied by his henchman, AYong Ding. Ah Mow has announced that he will run the theater to-morrow night. In the meantime tho police detail is con tinued and tho utmost vigilance is maintained, Every Chinaman found with a pistol m his possession has his weapon confiscated and is arrested. Both factions aro equally persistent in boasts that they will run tho other gang out of tho city. tiuilty of murder. Special to Tin: Astoriix Vancouver Barracks, Wash., May 9 Last evening the jury in the Edward Gallagher case, after being out four hours, came in with a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree.

Trouble Among the Farmers. Special to Tin: Astokian.J Seattle, May 9. Serious troublo is feared at the Junction of Stuck and White rivers, in this county. Seventy farmers of tho Upper Puyal lup valley, armed with Winchester rifles, are engaged in damming Stuck river, so as to divert its waters into White river. A restraining order has been issued against them, and a deputy sheriff dispatched to tho scene, with instructions to organize a posso to disperse them if this necessary action of the farmer is due to the water being so high in Stuck river that it threatens to over flow its banks and do incalculable damage to crops. On the other hand, it the waters of that stream are diverted to White river, similar damage will result to the crops of the farmers having land along that river. A Shocking Case.
