Chinese Man Lynched in Silver Bow County

There has been but one judicial hanging in Silver Bow county and that, we believe, was in 1889 when a man by the name of Robert’s suffered the extreme penalty of the law. Sometime during the middle sixties a Chinaman was hanged down near Rocker by a party or two who thought the Chinese deserved hanging on general principles. With these two exceptions no one has been unfortunate enough to take the hemp line to eternity in this county.
