LENNON held an > inquest > over the body of Arthur TUBBS, at which the jury returned a verdict which > virtually accuses two young men of Chico of murder. > Tubbs died Thursday evening at the BUTTERFIELD place, five miles > northeast > of Vina. He suffered great pain during the illness previous to his death > and > had several hemorrhages from his ear, indicating a fracture at the base of > the brain. > The jury, composed of six representative citizens, believe that the > ill-fated young man's death was caused by a beating he received almost a > month ago at the hands of a couple of thugs. > Tubbs was picking fruit at that time in the Bidwell orchard. The crew was > temporarily laid off because of the unripe condition of the fruit, and > Arthur Tubbs and his 11-year-old brother, Robert, were sitting under a > tree > eating their dinner and waiting for the wagon to come along and take them > back to town. About this time the two young men, aged about 21 and 19, > came > along and attempted to pick a quarrel with Arthur. Soon the wagon drove > up, > and all boarded it. The two quarrelsome young fellows persisted in being > disagreeable. They slapped Tubbs' face and used him roughly until the > other > occupants of the wagon interfered. > After alighting from the wagon at the Bidwell barn, the two thugs jerked > young Tubbs to the ground and punched him severely on the face and body. > He > sought safety in the wagon, and later on alighting, the smaller man struck > him heavily on the ear a number of times, causing blood to flow. Not being > content with this he kicked his victim severely in the lower side of the > ribs. Tubbs ran away and reached home sore and exhausted. > A complaint was sworn to by the injured young man. While at the Justice's > office swearin to the complaints the assailants appeared in front of his > father's residence and invited the elder Tubbs out to fight, saying "We > have > done up your boy, and if you will come out we will do you up good." This > happened late in July. > Tubbs, being only 16 years old, and fearing further assaults, quietly > left > for the place where he died, to work there, but continued to suffer until > a > week ago he was forced to remain in bed, where he suffered excruciating > pains, as well as hemorrhages from his right ear. Previous to his death he > exclaimed to his mother at his bedside: "Mamma, them boys have killed me." > The jury was so fully convinced of the foul means which brought about the > boy's death that they rendered a verdict that Tubbs' dealt was caused > "from > a beating administered to him near the town of Chico on July 24, 1905, by > two men whose names and identity are not known to the jury." > Deputy District Attorney KENNEDY of Chico came here late last night to > make an investigation, as the crime occurred in Butte County, although the > death took place in Tehama County.
