Help me solve this 100 year old mystery

The other day I was driving around an oil field near where I work, and I came across a small graveyard with a white fence around it and about 5 tombstones. I thought one of the stones was rather funny as it only has an outdated ethnic slur as the name:



Chinaman died on October 13, 1907.

I did a small amount of research on Chinaman to find out who he was and what led to his death, and I found an old newspaper article from October 13 of that year:

quote:

William Glenn, well known In this vicinity, employed by the Vishnu Oil company In San Luis Obispo county, became suddenly Insane yesterday and, nude, chased the Chinese cook from one of the cottages. When the Chinese escaped Glenn turned and burled the eight-inch blade of a knife In his own body. Glenn then went to a bunk house where Fred Sperry and two companions were and tried to batter down the door. The ocoupants had been awakened by the screams of the maniac and Chinaman and had grabbed their guns to protect themselves. The crazy man finally forced a partial entrance into the house and Sperry broke the stock of a gun over Glenn's head and knocked the knife out of his hands. Both stooped for the knife, but Glenn got It, and failing to reach Sperry, again plunged the weapon into his own abdomen and neck. He made still another effort to get into the house and Sperry again hit him over 'the head with the butt of a gun, dazing him. The loss of blood was beginning to weaken the maniac and he walked off and the men were able to control him. Word was sent for help, but the man's abdomen was literally hacked to pieces, and he died in a few hours.

All I can conclude from this article is that a nude maniac tried to kill Chinaman on October 11 and ended up killing himself. It doesn't seem Chinaman got hurt, but 2 days later he wound up dead.

Can the OT dig up the history on this one?
