Article Transcript

Milwaukee, March 9.—There was a wild scene on Market Street this morning when the Chinamen, Sam Yip Ya and Hop Ding, were taken to jail from the court, where they were to have been examined on the charge of enticing little girls into their dens for immoral purposes. The crowd of thousands made angry demonstrations and only the heavy body guard saved the celestial beasts from lynching. Ten little children were in court ready to testify against them, but the case was continued owing to the failure to secure an interpreter.
