The New Northwest (Montana) of the 4th says:—“We are informed that a Chinaman was hanged in Henderson Gulch, between twelve and one o'clock on Tuesday morning, under the following circumstances:—He broke in the back door of a store and stole some $200 or $400. He was caught and subjected to a citizen's court. The above was proven. On the question of hanging him, the vote stood 19 ayes and 18 noes, and the sentence was thereupon carried into effect.”—Chicago Tribune, November 15.
