A Chinaman Lynched

COLUSA, CAL., July 11.—Hong Di who was Saturday found guilty of the murder of Mrs. Billyon, was taken from jail and lynched this morning.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., July 11.—A company of national guard troops was placed at the jail at Colusa, Cal., last evening by order of the Governor in order to protect the Chinese murderer Hong Di, who shot and killed Mrs. Billyou six months ago.

The excitement of the populace regarding the verdict, fixing the penalty at imprisonment for life, was so great that an organized attack on the jail was regarded as imminent.

The excitement having apparently died away, the guard was removed shortly before midnight.

At 2 o'clock a band of armed men, numbering 200, surrounded the jail and seized the sheriff.

The entrance to the jail having been effected, the Chinaman was taken from the jailor's room and taken through Chinatown to the railroad yards.

Here the Chinaman was plied with questions, but he was so frightened that he had lost the power of speech.

The rope was adjusted and he was swung from the cross-bar of a railway turntable, where he was left suspended.
