A Brutal Murder Quin Sing and Deah Poup Assaulted by Mexicans Saturday evening, between the hours of 5 and 6 o’clock, Quin Sing and Deah Poup, Chi- nese gardeners, who have long lived on the Carwile place, only a short distance below town, were approached at their cabin by three Mexicans and asked for something to eat. Quin Sing was in the cabin, and his partner came in, got a dish of rice and was handing it to them when two of the Mexicans made an assault upon him. The other Mexican entered the cabin and shot Quin Sing, the ball entering his left arm at the wrist and coming out at the elbow shat- tering it in a horrible manner. The Mexicans on the outside knocked Deah Poup down with an ax and a pick, crushing in the whole top of his skull, and making a number of flesh wounds on his head and person. After shooting Quin Sing, the other Mexican beat him until he was senseless. The house was then looted, the Chinamen given another beating, and then the Mexicans left.
