Celestial Manhandled and Hides to Save His Life.

[Special Dispatch to The Call] LINCOLN, June 13.—Two laborers employed on the Oakwood stock ranch near here made a desperate effort last night to hang the Chinese cook. The cook finally escaped after having been badly used, bruised and battered. He hid in a chicken coop and thus saved his life. The would‑be lynchers are in the county jail.
