Chinaman Lynched

Bakersfield, Cal., July 11.—Young Fook, a Chinese cook, employed at a boarding house at Mount Breckinridge lumber mill, 35 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. Kenney was the first to reach the house. He was attacked by the Chinaman and received a severe cut on the wrist.

The lumberman knocked the Chinaman down, placed a rope around his neck and hanged him to a tree. It is believed the Chinaman was insane.
