Chinese Man Found Hanging at Mowry Station

On December 18, 1894, an unnamed Chinese man was found hanging from a tree near Mowry Station, or Mowry’s Landing, near Newark, California. The San Francisco Examiner and The San Francisco Call and Post both suggested suicide, while San Francisco Chronicle reported that Coroner Evers "will go to Newark this morning and hold an inquest." No further result of that inquest has yet been located. The cause of death remains unresolved.
