Killed by a Mob

An Inoffesnive Chinaman Murdered by a Mob

His Head Is Beaten to a Jelly With Clubs by a Crowd of Masked Men—A Fatal Duel Between Two Men Occurs on the Potomac Steps in an Indiana Town.

Anaconda, Mont., June 3.—News brought in from Quaky is to the effect that a Chinaman known as Big Hank was killed there yesterday by a mob of masked men. His head was crushed in with clubs. Attempts to drive him out of the camp had failed. About two weeks ago Ed Moore protected the Chinaman, standing off his enemies with a Winchester. Subsequent discharge forced the leaders of the mob at that time and thought that the trouble was to be at an end. Big Hank built a cabin and started a laundry. Quaky is the new mining camp where the works of Golden Scepter Mining Company is located.

Indianapolis, June 3.—Lebanon was this morning the scene of a tragedy. William Reilly was shot and instantly killed by Thomas F. Allen. The trouble was over the marriage of the son of Allen to a daughter of Reilly. Allen went down town this morning and as he entered the postoffice he noticed Reilly standing outside. As he came out Reilly drew a pistol, saying: “Tom Allen, defend yourself.” Mr. Armstrong, a bystander, seized Reilly, but Reilly fired and the ball struck Allen. Meanwhile Allen had drawn his pistol and remarked: “You see how it is; let him loose.” Before Reilly could again fire Allen had fired two shots, the first giving mild and wounding Allen’s little boy who sat in a buggy in the street. The second shot struck Reilly in the forehead and drew a third shot. A fourth shot from Allen’s pistol took effect in the left lung. Mr. Allen immediately surrendered to the sheriff and went to jail.
