Killed by a Mob.
Special to The Independent.
Anaconda, June 1.—News from Quigley is to the effect that a Chinaman known as Big Hank was killed there yesterday by a mob of masked men. His head was crushed in with clubs. Attempts to drive him out of the camp had failed. About two weeks ago Ed Moore protected the Chinaman by standing off his enemies with a Winchester. Supt. Babcock discharged the leaders of the mob at that time, and the trouble was thought to be at an end. Big Hank built a cabin and started a laundry. Quigley is the new mining camp where the works of the Golden Sceptre Mining company are located.
