Chinaman Saved from a Mob

Denver, May 4.—At 10 o’clock last night the police were summoned hastily to West Denver, where a mob was in the act of lynching a Chinaman named Wing Lee. The neighborhood has been unhealthy of late, and an examination was last night made of the cellars occupied by several Celestials. The filth and stench was frightful, and this so enraged the people that they procured a rope and but for the timely arrival of the patrol wagon would have hanged the Chinaman. The crowds refused to disperse and a guard has been placed at the wash house.
