The ineldents which led up to the tragedy are as tollows An Assyrian dealer in dry goods vamed dra Bolus, who lived alona in the rear of his Mitle store on South Thirteenth stroet, wapted a wife, so he sent back to Syria for one, sending also the money to pay her passage and that of her father They arrived about three weeks ago and since then have been living with Bolus, Joseph Birdaweel, who worked for Jo- seph Mina in his store at 1464 South Thir- teenth street, saw the new arrival, Djalima Nahraok by name, and fell in love with her Bardaweel is the superior of Bolus In physical charms and prowess and, wishing to impress this fact upon Djalima, called ane night about ten days ago and whipped Paolus in he resence.

The message was delivered. Like the Wolf on the Fold. At this Rolus took alarm. Gathering elght or ten of his friends last Saturday morning, among them Farris, he led the way to the store where Bardaweel was em- ployed, with the purpose. as he says, of asking Bardaweel's employer to dissuade him from further molesting them. He didn't say why It was necessary {o have such a strong convoy. Bardaweel saw them coming, and lit into them with a club. At this stage of the proceedjugs the ili- fated Saldy emerged upon the scene, and he was in the thick of the fray, pulling the belligerents apart, when he recelved the knife wound in the heart. Bardaweel then stabbed Farris, wounding bim on the shoulder, and the baitle was at an end. The coroner's verdict contalus no new matter and 18 confined to fixing with great minuteness the time and place of the tragedy. It makes no recommendations touching Mrs. Mina and closes with the words: “Said knife being -in the hands ot Joseph DBardaweel.” The tendency of the testimony at the inquest w to show that Mrs. Bar- bara Mina, who 1is now under arrest charged with being an accessory before the fact, gave the knife to Bardaweel and urged him (o stab Saldy with it These witnesses were examined in the order given: Mrs. Minnle Kendis; ber daughtor, Rose Kendis, and 11-year-old son, Charles Kendls, living at 1436 South Thir- teenth street: Jacob Beck, 16 years old, a High school boy, living at 1438 South Thir- teenth street; Tillle Pleuler, 5 years old, 1270 South Thirteenth street; Dr. W. R. Lavender, Dr. J. J. Dallal and Alfred Saidy, & distant relative of the deceased. The testimony of the phyaldians was devoted to a description of the wound which had caused death. All the others save Saldy were eye-witnesses of the tragedy. Detalla of the Reaw), The three members of the Kendis tamily testified to substantially the same state of facts, Charlle Kendls sald: “I was about ffteen feet away when Bardaweel sinbbed Saldy. Up to this time there had been fif- teen or twenty mev and women fighting in the street and iney were all Some of them mixed up. had clubs and some were striking with their fiste and others were pulling hair.

Bardaweel wasystanding in the street with his back to er, sawinging his arms and talking in Asfyrian. They were all talking loud and some were: fghting Mrs, Mina ran up to Pardaweal, grabbed bim by the arm, pulled him areund ani banded him the knife. Then she nointed io Saldy and made gestures, and Bardaweel stabbed Saldy. “About this time all the boye stauding around there began shouting that the patrol wagon was coming and I looked down the street and saw it three or four blocks away. Bardaweel stood there looking at Saldy, who was Iying on the ground. He seemed thunderstruck. Then all the rest that had been Aghting began to run away. Mrs. Mina dido't go near Saldy. No one went near bim. They just left him lie there. 1 saw Bardaweel walking toward the store and saw bim close the kuife and put it in his pocket. 1 don't know whether be went into the store or not, ‘but when I looked again he was out of sight. Saldy waso't armed. so far as 1 could see. and [ difn't see him strike at Bardawcel.’ The testimony of Jacob Beck ..nrrvhnum\ that of voung Kendis, save that he didn't see Mrs. Mina give Bardaweel the knife. “I saw a big crowd fighting in the street,” he sald, “and seven or eight of them women. I don’t know if Mrs. Miua was among them. I saw Bardaweel stab Saidy, but I don't know where he got the knife. After that I saw him close the knife, put it in his pocket and walk into the store.’ The strongest corroboration .of the story told by the Kendis family came from littie Tillle Pleuler. I saw @ lady bring a knife out of the store,’” said she, “and give it to a man and she motioned to the man to stab another man with it.” “And then what happoned?” county attorney. “Then he stabbed him and they all ran away."”" Dr. W.

Dallal, an Assyrian physiclan, gave the same testi- mony. Little satisfaction was to be had from the witness Alfred Saidy, who was obviously atraid to testify, lest he offend the friends of Bardaweel. As 80on as he saw the knife in the hands of Bardaweel, he sald, he rap away (o telephone for the patrol wagon. The interests of Mrs. Mina were protected by Attorney L. J.

Omaha’s Mongolian population, which is in the neighborhood of elghty persoms, is expecting to be assessed $1 per capita some time between now and the first of the year, the money to be used by the Chinese Six Compantes of San Francisco in their came palgn against a re-enactment of the Chi- nese exclusion mct. The present act will cease to be In force in May of next year and it is understood that the Six Compa- nles are anxious to induce congress to en- act a mew law at once, 8o that no time may elapse between the expiration of the old and the enforcement of the new. Joe Lee, cook in an East Dodge street restaurant and one of the most intelli- gent Chinese in Omaba, has this to say on the subject: “I understand circulars have been sent out by the Six Companies to the Chinese of the larger cities of this country asking each man to contribute $1 to this fund by January 1. Nome of these circu- lars have come to Omaba yet, but I've read about them in a Chinese newspaper. “Thursday of this week Wu Pon Chow, editor of the Chung Sal Yot Po of San Francisco, will lecture in the First Pres- byterian church of Omahh. I have here a copy of his paper, in which he says he will talk about the exclusion act. He wants to get It repealed. He says the United States should be open to Chinese immigration, so that the Chinese can learn the American ways and the Christian em————— LOOK IT UP. Perhaps Coffee in the Cause of Your Trouble.
