Lynched a Chinaman

MILWAUKEE, March 12.—Early this morning a Chinaman was hanged by a mob at Twenty-Seventh and Chesnut streets. During the night thousands of people gathered in all parts of the city, and raids were made upon all the laundries, demolishing the windows with stones. Every Chinese laundry in the city has been raided, and most of the Celestial heathens have been given refuge in the police stations. A few Chinamen ventured out upon the streets after dark last night and tried by taking back streets to reach the railway stations, but they were overhauled and badly used until rescued by the police who were on the move all night in patrol wagons. On First avenue early last evening a mob caught a washer-man and put a rope around his neck, but he was rescued by the police.

The people are terribly worked up over the outrages that have been perpetrated by the heathens, and it is only a matter of a few hours when the city will be rid of them.
