Crazy Chinaman Lynched

BAKERSFIELD, Cal., July 10.—Young Fooke, a Chinese cook, employed at a boarding-house at Mount Breckenridge lumber mill, thirty-five miles east of Bakersfield, in the mountains, was lynched by lumbermen.

The Chinaman attacked Mrs. Kenney, wife of the foreman of the mill, with a butcher-knife, inflicting a serious wound on her face.

He struck Mrs. Kenney’s little daughter, but the injury is slight.

The screams of the woman brought the lumbermen to the scene.

Mr. Kenney was the first to reach the house.

He was attacked by the Chinaman, and sustained a severe cut on the wrist.

The lumbermen knocked the Chinaman down, placed a rope around his neck, and hanged him to a tree.

It is believed that the Chinaman was insane.
