ROCK SPRINGS, wy. T., Sept. 3.-The
largest coal mines in the Western Union
Pacific system are at Rock Springs, $50
miles west Of Cheyenne. The company
recently imported large number OF Chi
nese to take the places OF the white men
employed there. Yesterday afternooH the
entire force Of white miners, about 100
strong, organized, and arming themselves
with shOtguns, marched TO Chinatown.
After firing volley into the air they re-
loaded and ordered the Cinnamon to leave.
FLIGHT OF THE CELEsTIALs.
The order was obeyed at once, the Chi
namen fleeing to the hills, closely pur-
sued by the miners, who fired several
Volleys at the fugitives with fatal effect
The Chinese quarter was then set on fire
Thirty-nine houses owned by the company
were destroyed, together with their con-
tents. The miners next visited various
mines in the camp, unearthed all the
fee. or 400 Cinnamon here yesterday
morning not one remains. All are in the
bills heading for Green river, II miles
West Of here.
SEVEN KILLED AND SOME BURNED.
Seven were killed outright by the shots
fired by the miners and many were
wounded. Ii is said that several who
were feeble and helpless from disease
perished in the flames
Sheriff Young arrived from Green river
on a special train<yesterday afternoon,
with posse of deputies, but they were
too late to prevent the mob from carrying
out their plans. The miners quietly dis
persed after having made sure OF the de-
parture Of the Cinnamon. Everything
is quiet at this hour.
MORE BODIES FOUND.
CHEYENNE, wy. T., Sept. 3.-Advices
received here from Rock Spring this fore
noon indicate worse state of affairs than
was reported The Cinnamon, over 800
in number, have been driven out of the
town. Thus far Is dead Cinnamon have
been discovered, and there are probably
as many more dead bodies in the ruins.
Fifty houses belonging to the railroad
company and 30 more owned by China
men were burned The Cinnamon are
yet in the hills west of the town. They
are without food and are afraid to go to
Green River City, about 10 miles distant.
Gov. Warren is now at Rock Springs with
General superintendent Dickinson and
superintendent Wurtele Of the western
division Of the Union Pacific railroad. No
more disturbance is anticipated. Food
will be sent by the authorities to the
starving Cinnamon in the hills.
THE WORST NOT YET TOLD.
CHEYENNE, wy r., Sept. 4, 2A.M.-The
worst has evidently not been told regard
ing the anti-ChInese outbreak in the west
ern portion of Wyoming. According to ad-
vices from Evanston, where the second lar
gest coal mining camp Of the Union Pacific
road ls located, the outbreak was a pre-
concerted one. 1t had been arranged that
the first attack upon the Chinese was TO
be made in Carbon, a mining town about
$50 miles east OF Rock Springs, to be fol-
lowed by like movement in the latter
place and Evanston. The Rock Springs
miners, however, took the initiative, and
the result thereby has been announced.
THE CABINS LOOTED.
The mob at that place looted the houses
OF the Chinese before setting them on fire.
The OutraRes commenced in mine No. 6,
where three Chinese miners were attacked
and killed. Then the riot commenced all
over town, even women joining in il with
loaded sbOtgune in their hands. Super
intendent Evans, of the coal mines, had
been warned TO leave town, and he did so
with alacrity, passing through here to-
day en- route for Omaha. Nothing can be
heard from Carbon, as the operator there
is evidently afraid to send news.
TROOPS CALLED ON.
From Evanston the Sheriff of Uintah
county, telegraphed this evening to Gov.
Warren as follows:
A large number OF citizens, with myself,
are satisfied that the outrages committed at
Rock Springs. will be repeated, and are liable
to break out at any time. We need troops TO
protect the lives and property Of our citizens.
Gov. Warren is at Green River, but he
has telegraphed 10 the commanding Off
GERS at Fort Steele and Fort d. A. Rus
sell and troops have been ordered TO hold
themselves in readiness TO move at mo-
ments notice.
