STABBING AFFRAY
THREATS OF LYNCHING.
PERTH, December 27.
Thomas Darlington was killed during a quarrel with an Italian named Sileno at Whim Creek. Sileno was getting the worst of a fight with Darlington at an hotel, when with a knife handed to him by Capelli, another Italian, Sileno, it is alleged, stabbed Darlington in the thigh and neck. Darlington's jugular vein was severed, and he died in a few minutes. Both Italians are under arrest. Extra constables have been sent from Roeburne to Whim Creek to prevent the miners carrying out their alleged threat to lynch the prisoners.
