The Wyoming Massacre

WHITE MINERS DETERMINED TO DRIVE OUT THE CHINESE.

CHEYENNE, Wyoming, Sept. 5.—A special from Rock Springs to the Leader gives the latest information that can be obtained from the scene of the recent anti-Chinese troubles. All is quiet to-day and the miners have returned to work. At a meeting held last night measures were taken to put a stop to the drunken carousals of a few of their number who had been celebrating the removal of the Chinese. Two more dead Celestials were found to-day, one in the ruins of Chinatown and the other beneath a railroad bridge about a mile east of the place. The latter had been wounded and had managed to walk that far before giving up. Miners who took an active part in the attack upon Chinatown say that less than one-third of the dead Chinese in the ruins of the houses have been found thus far. They declare that no less than 25 were shot down inside the burned buildings. These buildings had dirt roofs, which covered up the dead Chinamen when the dwellings succumbed to the flames, and as no actual search has been made in the ruins it is quite probable that the miners’ statements are true. Chinamen are still arriving at stations east and west, almost dead from fright and weak from fatigue and lack of food. All are shipped to Evanston by the company. They reiterate the statement that many have died in the hills from wounds received in the attack upon them. It is reported that the white miners at Almy, in the western end of the Territory, have notified the Chinese laborers in the mines that they must leave within three days, and it is said that the Union Pacific Company has guaranteed their removal within the time specified. The Celestials all along the road refused to work to-day, and demanded passes to Evanston. The Chinese laundrymen and servants at Green River were told last night that they must leave within 12 hours, and they will go west on to-day’s express.
