The Truckee Fire

TRUCKEE, June 18.—The Coroner’s jury called to hold an inquest over the bodies of two Chinamen found dead in the cellar in Chinatown yesterday brought in their verdict to-night, which was that they died from suffocation. A large number of witnesses were examined and they were unanimous, even the Chinamen, that the fire originated from a red-hot stovepipe. It is claimed and believed by many that the two Chinamen were imprisoned there by their countrymen. Chinatown is now a waste. The investigation of the officers still continues and new developments will probably occur. Permission has been granted by the Boycott Committee for the use of teams to bury their dead to-morrow. The few Chinamen left here are packing up their effects and getting ready to leave.
