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 has been unhealthy lately and an examination was made of the cellars. The cellars were occupied by several Celestials and the filth and stench was frightful, which 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.
