Chinaman Lynched

DENVER, Col., July 15.—A gang of eight men, headed by William Curran, one of the proprietors of Military park, which is near Fort Logan reservation, last Tuesday night indulged in a little sport which will probably prove to be a serious matter to them.

At Fort Logan several Chinese families reside and are employed by the officers of the post. They also do washing for Curran’s family and a number of others in the vicinity.

The first of the week Mrs. Curran missed a diamond ring valued at about $300, and at once came to the conclusion that the Chinaman had stolen it.

The next evening her husband and seven friends went to the Chinese quarters and attempted to frighten them into a confession.

Failing in this, they smuggled Ah Sam, Ah Coon and Ah Sin off the military reservation and strung them up to a limb of a tree three times.

When taken down Ah Sam was unconscious and was thought to be dead. The others were seriously injured.

The officers at the post took the matter in hand, and to-day secured the arrest of Curran, who was placed under bond for appearance. Warrants are out for the others implicated.
