Tho Terrible Work ut Rock Springs,
Rock SPRINGS, w. r., Sept. A.
Yesterday, for the first time in many
years, there was not Chinsmzn In
Rock Springs, except tho desd and
,Syounded. Tho 800 or 600 who were at
work in tho mines here hsvo been
driven out and nothing but heaps Of
smoking ruins mark the spot whore
Ch,nniown stood. The feeling against
pSChineso has been growing stronger
all summer. Tho fact that tho white
men have neen burned of the sections
and hundreds o! white men were seek
ing in vain for wu,B, while tho Chinese
were being shipped in by the csr--
load and giyon work, strengthened
the feeling against them. l. needed

came out, armed themselves with hIe-

noon. Meantims all was excliem ent
IN Chinatown. An American flag was
hoistod as warning and the Ont
nese working ia different parts
of the camp fled to their quarters.
ltstNter dinner the liquor saloons were

y,ywith guns, reval ers, ha.chets. and

committee OF three warning them
to leave ia an hour IBIS
they agreed 10 90 and startcd
to pack uD. but in about
so minutes the white men grow imps
tient and advanced upon the Chinese
quarters, shouting and firing their
guns in the air. without offering 70.
Sxstsnce the Ch1nese fled, with what
ever they could snatch up, to she hills,
about nine miles 2ast Of sac town rhe
miners firing at Chena as they went.
Soon q bsck smoke was aaga issuing
from the peak OF u house in
Hong Kong, hen from another,
and very soon eight or ten or
the largest OF the houses were
in flames. Half choked with fire and
ssooke numbers of Cinnamon camo
rushing from the burning buildings,
with BLANKETS and hsd quilts over
their heads to protect themselves
;spfrom strpv riflo shots. They followed
their rctregting brothers into the hills
at the top of their speed. A laundry
IA town was next visited and the Of
fensive inmates sho6 dead. All the em-
ployes OF tho coal department. OF the
railroad were orderes to leave town,
which they did on the evenihg train.
During the night all OF the Chinese
houses III tOWDJ HuuuuoiinB uoaAiJ w,
were burned to the ground. A number
of Cinnamon, who were within, fled
from the burning buildings. The light
OF Thursday morning revealed some
terrible sights. In the smoking cellars
Of two Chinese houses tho blackened
| bodies OF SIX Cinnamon were seen.

ether, and four moro bodies were
found near by. From the posi-
As though they had segun
to dig q hole in The cellar to hide
themselves, but the fire overlook
them, burning the extremittes to
crisp and leaving the upper portion OF
their bodies untouched. At the east
end OF Chinatown body. was found
charred by the flames and mutllated
BY hogs. The smell that arose from
the smoking mines was horribly sug-
aestiye of burning flesh. Further cart
were tho bodies of four more,
shot down in their flight.
~ coroper's jury was sunmoned,
which, after examining the bod g..
I returned o verdict that ii Chinese had
been burned TO death and 5 shot, by
parties unknown 60 the jury. A num-
Der were found seriously wounded,
aud how MANY more may stu be
wounded out in the hills i3 unknown.
Large numbers CT Chinese have been
picked up by the trains going west,
and q unantity OF provisions has been
sent out for them. 1t is rumored that
the Mormon miners in camp sro to be
ordered out, but no action In
this direction has yet heen tai The
SINNERS here are entirely unorganized
in the crusade, and although q large
number of them are Knights OF Labor
the move was not made under i.a di-
rection. The miuers have not been
working since Wednesday and BUSH
s,ess is almost entirely suspsntec.
Every thing is quiet, however.
Everything rs quiet at Camp Carbon,
isss2ock Springs and Evanston to-day.
Tho precautionary measures taken by
Governor Warren and the rail-
: road authorities seem likely
81 prevent further depredations.

The coroner's inquest at Rock Springs
found that the Cinnamon were killed
by persons unknown.
