Carson Daily Appeal

Rumored Murder.—It was told by a Chinaman from Chinatown, yesterday evening, that his countrymen had murdered a white man down there and had concealed his body. The report was credited by the officers of the peace who went to work investigating the affair on the sly. If there is anything in the story they will know this morning so that this disclosure will not interfere with their plans. Nothing would be easier than for the Chinamen to kill and hide away the corpse of a man in their quarters who would probably never be missed. It was surmised by some. but with hardly any credibility, that Layton Childers may have taken the route back to Carson for some unaccountable reason instead of using his ticket from Truckee to the Bay, and have fallen (still stranger) into the murderous hands of the Chinamen of this place.
