Five Chinese Murderers Lynched.
LEWISTON, Idaho, September 23.—Mr. Frazier, 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, without success. 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 confessed the deed. These were taken out and summarily disposed of.
