A FIRST WARNING.
All Chinamen found in the city of Cheyenne after October first will be subject to a coat of tar and feathers and ridden from the city on a rail. [Signed] WORKINGMAN.
“The Chinese must go.”
The most minute inquiry thus far cannot trace the source from which these dodgers are furnished.
The affair has created a sensation throughout the city, and while nearly all the best citizens of Cheyenne would prefer to see the Chinese go, still there is no doubt should a mob attempt to drive them out with violence on October first, they would be protected.
The proprietor of the steam laundry publishes a card stating that in deference to public opinion he has discharged all Chinese help.
