FOREST HILL, Cal., Sept. 14.—A Spaniard named Munas wound up a protracted spree yesterday by smoking opium in a Chinese den. He was taken dangerously ill and the Chinese, fearing the wrath of citizens if his body were found in their place, carried the dying man to a pond and were about to throw him in when they were discovered and stopped. The Chinese were placed in jail, which was attacked by a mob of citizens. The mob was repulsed by officers. The jail is strongly guarded, but the people are determined to lynch the Chinese and further trouble is feared. Numas died shortly after being rescued.
