Five Celestials Lynched in Idaho

Five Chinamen, implicated in the murder of Daniel Frazer and robbery in Pierce City were taken from jail by citizens and hanged to convenient trees. Mr. Frazer, who was one of the pioneers of Southern Idaho, was well known and respected. His room in the rear of his store was entered on the night of the 11th inst., he was murdered and his body horribly mutilated. An attempt was then made to blow open the safe, which proved unsuccessful. Tracks on the outside of the building showed that Chinamen had done the deed. In the next five days fifteen Chinese were arrested, and finally five of them confessed to the deed. These were taken out and summarily disposed of.
