Lynching is Feared

A Chinaman Resents an Assault by Partially Wounding a White Bully.

Special to the Globe.

Butte, Mont., Dec. 10.—John Braden, last Saturday evening, while passing a Chinaman who was sawing wood, kicked him and also ran him an undercut under the chin, which sent the Mongolian sprawling several feet on the ground. The Chinaman merely arose to his feet and commenced sawing wood again. Shortly afterward Braden, with several others, passed the place again, when he made another lunge at the Chinaman, when the latter swung his saw around his head and bit Braden with it. Braden bled very freely from the wound, which was about four inches long and in his deep. Hopes were entertained of his recovery, as no large vein had been severed. Today, however, Braden died from injury, as his lower limbs had been paralyzed by the blow, which had affected the spinal cord. Threats are uttered against the residents of Chinatown, but the authorities have put on fifty extra police to keep order the hooligans and the mob to-night, which, it is feared, will lynch the Mongolian murderer and his friends. An inquest is now being held on the remains of Braden.
