Mongolian at Racine Is Accused of Awful Crime—Intense Excitement in Belle City.

Racine, Wis., June 11.—[Special.]—The police at noon today raided a Chinese laundry and arrested one of the inmates on a most serious charge, inflicting injuries upon a girl 6 years of age, who is in a most critical condition and physicians state that it is impossible to tell whether the girl will recover or not. The Chinaman also, it is alleged, attempted to commit a crime on a sister of the child, whose age is 10 years, but she managed to break away. The most intense excitement is felt here, and the stevedores who are working along the dock have made efforts to try and secure the man, but it is not believed that they will try to break into the jail.
