A Mob in Denver Attempt to Hang a Filthy Mongol.
Denver, May 3.—Late 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 had 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 would have hanged the Chinaman had not the police patrol wagon put in a timely appearance.
