Macd Hong and had not been informed fand did not know what was to be done with it. He was not told whether it should go to -the police and May Hong did not pay the money back, The next witness, Wo Hung, cheerfully told Mr. MacNeill that he would swear any way the counsel wanted him to and finally bnrnt the paper. He said he had never paid any money to the policeman, but he had paid some money to the man at the jail. The first time he went with Wong Chu and acted as inter- preter between him. and Mitchell, whom he identified in the court room, and’ then had paid him $45, but ‘did ‘not know what it was for. He had never talked with any other officer but Mitchell, and he had never told "Mah Hong that he had talked with the chief of police. He had paid Mitchell $45 at one time and $60 at another, and on both oc- casions. there had been another Chinaman with him, who had since returned to China. He said he had never paid any money to the chief, of police of Rossland. On cross- examination he said that Mr. Beam- ish had told him he would have to coine to the court. Several China- men had’ contributed to make up the amounts paid to Mitchell. There was an understanding that he was to: bargain with Mitchell dnd get him to take'as little as possible. If when he paid the $45 he could have got Mitchell tou take $30, he could have put $15 in his own pocket, and as a iatter of fact he had saved $s, paying Mitchell $40. On examina- tion he said’ that he went away to Greenwood three or four months ago and had told Mah Hong to pay the méney to ‘Mitchell while he was away. Foh ae deposed that-he had ce} to. make. no treats! ” and Wo i ee had told him to do it. On he said he ald, “Scotty,” as He! is known, ad- mitted that ‘he had-no authority or right to look: at or copy .the jail ac- of **pure- cussedness.” = The: jail books, he said, showed that. when he was admitted to that institution he had a knife, a pipe and $2 on‘his Person, and’-these had been taken away. The knife and pipe were re- turned to kim, but he said he never saw anything. of. the money.:. After his release” he . became carefully drunk before calling on the mayor to show the Bccount and’ make his r by Mr. A. HL MacNeill, Q. C., he stated that after his release he had submitted copies ef the passbook entries and vouchers to Aldermen Hooson and Lalonde and showed | oedon eid alee Gad es The first Chinese witness called was. But Shue, who swore that he had paid another Chinaman $7.50 on each of two occasions for some- thing he knew nothing abcut. Later on, in answer to Mr. MacNeill, he said the money had been paid to be given to the police.., He had never done anything to bring him ‘under arrest. He said he had been told that if he did not pay this money he was. to be taken up for gambling. He claimed no gambling was car- ried on at his place. He gambled himself, but not. at Mah Hong’s place, but occasionally he gambled at Mah Sue’s. On cross-examina- tion he said that both Mah Hong and Mah Sue had asked him to pay. This was in Chinese May, answer- ing to June in the Christian calen-|' dar. He never.got the money back. Mah Hong had told him to come to the police court, but had not told him what to say. He had talked with no white man about the matter nor with Mah. Sue. He did not know what became of the money-or whether other Chinese paid money. The money was paid to Wah Hong the first time and to Mah Hong the second, Mah Wing, another witness, said that he had lived in Chinatown for two years, but had never given any money to the police. One other Chinaman had given him money to give to Mah Hong. He had only been told to give the money to Mah had only paid one month, but the police. had: made: no trouble: He did not: know whether: Wo Hung paid the:money'« or whether he kepeyi: it. He paid the Money because Wo asked him to, Joseph Le Beouf was the next witness on the’ stand, a witness named Lamb not being forthcom- ing. Mr. Macdonald made a pro- test against the examination of this witness before the defence had an opportunity of learning something of his testimony, so that he could be ready to cross-examine him. After a long talk the witness was allowed to proceed \with the understanding that the cross-examination could be deferred. Hestatedthathehadbeenin the Dominion hotel in June and July and used to meet the train for that house. He had to pay John Ashley (Astley), the proprietor, $1 a night which the landlord said had to go to the police for the room in which he played cards. He had told the landlord that he would not run any games unless he knew whether the chief would allow it. He under- stood that the moncy was to be paid to William Mitthell. The cross- examinxtion was then put over till this evening, and the inquiry was adjourned till 7:30 tonight. Died at the Hospital. James Holden, a piano tuner, who has made his home at Rossland and Trail for the past three years, died at the Sisters’ hospital yesterday morning of typhoid fever. The re- mains were taken to the undertak- ing establishment of Lockhart & Jordan. Deceased has a wife in Victoria. The remains will be in- terred here. Passenger Service to the Boundary. It is probable that the Columbia & Western railway will inaugurate @ passenger service to the Boundary country next Sunday. The road is at present in the hands of the con- tractors, who are carrying such pas- sengers as prefer that. route. regular tariff has been prepared by the railway company for the new service. For the present Grand Forks will be the Boundary ter- minus, TO BOUNDARY DISTRICT J, B, MoArthur Tells of the Completion of the Road. THE. LOCATION OF THE DEPOT Tt Will Be Contiguous to Both Towns Says Mr. Gutelius, Though Actually on Colum bis Townsite, Mr. J. B. McArthur, ex-president of the Rossland Board of Trade and president of the Col T company, was in the city for a few hours yesterday and today. In con- versation with a Recorp reporter he said that the Columbia & Wes- tern railway was completed to Grand Forks and Columbia today. The depot will be located on Columbia avenue, in Columbia, on the Red Light property,’ one-half of which was owned by the Canadian Pacific railway and one-half by’a Mr. Smith, of Butte. A quarter of a mile or so from the depot is. the dividing line between the two townsites of Grand Forks and Columbia. This piece of land was unplatted and two- thirds of it belonged to the Colum- bia Townsite company and one- third to. the Canadian Pacific rail- way. Spring street, Columbia, however, crossed this piece diagon- ally and the Canadian Pacific had promised to extend Winnipeg ave- nue, which runs from the settled portion of Grand Forks, to Spring street, and this would give Grand Forks access to the depot. The arrangements made by the. railway company provide for a service from Rossland to Grand Forks or Co- lumbia in five hours and passenger trains will, commence .to. run, next :| weelk, The depot is to be on the original location’ made nearly a year ago. Close to this point there are now building, four good hotels and four- tee new-houses, ‘many of them be- ing ‘substantial residences, and there is every indication of a bright future before the place. So far as Mr. McArthur understood, the arrange- ments are that the train would leave Rossland at 7 a.m. and arrive at Columbia at noon, and the return train, would leave Columbia at 2 p. m. or 14 o'clock: and reach Ross- land at 7:40 p., m., or, 19:40 o'clock. Mr. F. P. Gutelius was seen after- wards and said that the station was absolutely to be called Grand Forks and that it was equi-distant from the center of population of the two townsites. It was impossible at Present to say what the time sched- ule would be. There were two propositions to be considered and shese would be decided in a few days. It might be that the train would only run every other day and that the train now leaving Rossland at 15:20 might be delayed until the arrival of the Red Mountain train and then by a connection at Robson reach Grand Forks in the evening between 20 and 21 o’clock, but the matter has- not yet been decided though the regular passenger trains would be running into Grand Forks early next week and the treight ser- vice would be in first-class shape. Reduced Passenger Rates, A new tariff of passenger rates from Rossland is now in’ force ‘on the Canadian Pacific railway and is as follows: Second avenue station to Union avenue, 5c; Lake Moun- tain, 20c; Tiger, 30c; Warfield, 4oc; Smelter Junction, 55¢; Trail, 65¢; Murphy Creek, 75c. Sullivan Creek, goc; Siding No. 1, $1.00; Siding No. 2, $1.05; West Waterloo, $1.30; Castlegar, $1.50; West Rob- son, $1.60: Robson, $1. 85. From Rossland to all local points reached via West Robson the rates are forty cents lower than heretofore. ‘This means that the rate for instance to Nelson is now $3.25 instead of $3.65 as in the past, or a stiaight rate of five cents a mile.
