One Chinaman Almost Lynched

LATER—The streets in the vicinity of the Chinese laundries have been thronged with crowds of men and boys to-night.

The doors and windows of half a dozen laundries had been smashed in with rocks before the police could arrive to disperse the crowd.

At one point an unlucky celestial fell into the hands of the mob, who began yelling for a rope to string him up, and he would have fared badly but for the courage of one policeman, who protected him until assistance arrived.

Late to-night the crowds are dispersing, and no more trouble to-night is probable.
