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.

After  awhile  Quin  recovered  and  made  his 
way  to  the  Carwile  house,  only  a few  hundred 
yards,  and  gave  the  alarm.  Mr.  Carwile  had 
heard  the  shot  fired,  but  as  there  were  a num- 
ber of  cowboys  around  the  stock  pens  corraling 
cattle,  thought  nothing  of  it.  The  alarm  was 
soon  given,  and  Sheriff  Whitehill  and  his  depu- 
ties scouring  the  town  for  the  Mexicans,  and 
several  arrests  were  made  that  night.

The  Chinamen  were  soon  removed  to  the 
Sister’s  hospital,  and  Dr.  Stephens  sent  for,  who 
did  all  in  his  power  for  them.  Deah  Poul’s  skull 
was  so  badly  smashed  that  the  doctor  aban- 
doned all  hope  of  his  recovery  from  the  start. 
Pieces  of  the  skull  were  removed  from  the  brain, 
and  a neat  bit  of  trepanning  done,  but  poor 
Poup  was  never  able  to  speak  from  that  time 
until  his  death,  which  occurred  Wednesday. 
His  right  side  was  paralyzed,  and  he  seemed 
to  suffer  terriby.  Quin  Sing’s  wounds  were 
dressed,  and  he  is  now  on  a sure  road  to  re- 
covery.
