Lynching at Henderson.

We are informed a Chinaman was hung in Henderson Gulch between twelve and one o’clock on Tuesday morning, under the following circumstances.

He broke in the back door of the store owned by ——, (formerly Caplice & Smith) and stole some $300 or $400.

He was caught and subjected to a citizens court.

The above facts were proven.

On the question of hanging him the vote stood 19 ayes and 18 nays, and the sentence was thereupon carried into effect.

If these are the facts, those who hung him will be, and should be, held to strict accountability before the courts, which are now adequate to a strict enforcement of the laws, and summary executions must be stopped.
