A VICIOUS JAPANESE
ASSAULTS WHITE MAN
HENRY MATSU, WHILE IN A DRUNKEN FRENZY, HITS HIS
WHITE COMPANION IN THE HEAD WITH A HATCHET
—WOUND, FORTUNATELY, NOT SERIOUS
Yesterday afternoon while pet
er Kar ami llcnry Matsu, a .lap,
were working ('loaning a house
tm llohart street, a couple of
blocks from Hie court house, the
Jap. without words, struck Kar
in I In* head with a hatchet, i it—
Hiding a nasly scalp wound.
It appears the two men hatch
in a eahin together ami do odd
johs of work whenever they can
get them. Matsu had been drink
ing heavily and was, as is usual
with him when under the influ
ence of liipior, in had humor,
when Kar ordered him to do
souict hitig.
Without saying a word, and
without warning Matsu picked up
a hatchet, which was lying near,
ami struck Kar a stunning ldow
in the head and immediately dis
appeared. The marshal's office
was notified and a search was at
once instituted for Matsu.
It was soon learned that he was
seen going up the trail and an
officer was detailed in pursuit,
going as far as Camp Contort
without tlndimr trace of the want
ed man.
In the meantime Horace He
Line kept guard over the cabin
in which Mat.su and Kar lived,
and at t I o'clock last night, when
the Jap made his appearance, he
was placed under arrest.
He was given a hearing on a
charge of assault, with a danger
ous weapon before Commissioner
Shepard this- afternoon at. 2
o'clock. Matsu is no stranger to
the federal bastile, having been
made an inmate of that institu
tion from 1'nga, where, while in
a drunken slate, he attempted to
chew np a companion for some
fancied insult. At an/flier lime
he attempted to stab a man with
a bitf knife for some trivial cause.
The wound sustained by Kar
is mil serious and will not inca
pacitate him from work.
At the hearing held this after
noon before Judge Shepard the
facts as above given were elicit
ed from the witnesses.
The defendant was bound over
to appear before the grand jury
in the sum of one thousand dol
lars.
