One of them, who evidently understood the anatomy of his subjects, placed the bones in position, while the other, an aged Mongolian with a gray bread, marked the sacks in which the remains were placed. The exhuming of the bones was begun on Thursday evening and finished on Friday morning. There were 20 Chinese whose bones are to be exported -- 14 buried in the cemetery and 6 contained in graves just outside of it. The bones of each hand were placed in a separate small white muslin sack, and the bones of each foot in a separate sack. These 4 small sacks were placed in a large muslin sack containing the larger bones. Each sack was marked by the aged Mongolian. The bones have been shipped to San Francisco, where, in a few days, they will be sent to China. The bodies have all be interred over 5 years. The Chinese company to which these deceased Mongolians belonged will ship the bones of 680 bodies on the same steamer. There were 8 more Chinese recently buried in the Hanford cemetery and these have been removed to the burying ground purchased a year or so ago by the Chinese, just west of the public cemetery. The brick altar and the neglected graves of the Chinese have always been an eye-sore and their removal to other quarters is a subject of congratulation for all who take an interest in seeing the home of the dead kept neat and beautiful. ------------------------------------------------------- [transcriber note -- whoever filmed this paper laid a supplement that was published across a page that contained this story & also Local Paragraphs -- will mark missing sections with 'illeg'] AWFUL TRAGEDY -- F.J. WELSH Kills His Paramour and Then Himself -- A Strange Infatuation Breaks up a Home And Ends in Murder and Suicide -- A terrible tragedy took place in Visalia last Thursday. Flavins J. WELSH, until recently of this city, killed a courtesan called Edna EARL, whose real name is Etna DUNTON, and then killed himself. WELSH was well known [large section illeg] …noon at 9 o'clock from the undertaking parlors. The funeral service was held at the place of interment in the Grangeville cemetery and consisted of a few remarks by A.G. PARK, who stated that deceased was one of the 1st people he had met on his arrival in this county, and he had always found him a congenial, honest man, kindly disposed to all men and he sincerely regretted the sad and terrible end of deceased which had been brought about through evil influences. Flavius J. WELSH (Flav as he was generally known) was one of the kindliest of men and he was a man with a host of friends and few enemies. But liquor and fast women brought about a sad ending to what gave promise in this youth of a long and honorable career. There are few indeed who will condone his offenses against society, but there are likewise few who knew him but will remember that he was a friend to the needy and him who hath no helper, and feel regret at the awful termination of his earthly career. Deceased leaves, besides a wife, a daughter 9 years of age, 2 brothers and an aged mother. His brother Frank, now a resident of Los Angeles county, came up and took charge of the funeral. The family of deceased are among our best citizens.

Frank JOHNSON, being a neighbor and friend, was called, and while their attention was on Joe, all at once a light sprang up. Frank, looking toward home, discovered that his barn was on fire. It was an entire loss, as he did not discover the fire in time to save anything. 8 sets of harness, cultivators, carts, driving harness, a lo t of farming implements and 2 carts were burned up.
