territory, and his official duties there in
connection with the late troubles at Rock
Springs between the white coal miners
and the Chinese A LEADER reporter
found him yesterday in his Office while the
populace generally were assembled else
where to see the exciting sports of the
day, up to his ears, m~etaphorically speak
ing, in the business of Lis high Office.
The reporter asked for an interview with
him, which he readily granted, and in re-
ply to the question, wi hat is your opin-
ION oil this Rock Spnngsaffair? lie quick
~ and vehemently responded, 1T was the
most damnable atroclty aud brutal out
rage that ever occurred In any country.
Those fellows actually attacked the Chi
nese IN their W abodes while they were
packing TO get away, and In many in
stances shot them INTERESTINGLY and push
ca them back INTO their shantles and
roasted them ike so many rats, and for
miles around Rock Springs on the morn
ing when arrived, which was the morn
ing alter the riot, the AIR was fairly reok
ing with tue smell OF the burnt human
nesh. And IN many instances the Chinese
quarters were pillaged and then set fire
while the inmates were fleeing or lying dead
d wounded where they had been shot in
tnelr tracks. Another fact is that the
elements engaged IN thus outrage were of
the worst character. The men who did
the murder and arson and robbery were
tramps and outlaws, who wouldn't work
under any circumstances at anything but
crime some OF them men who are fugi-
uves from justice. They were the origi-
nal assallants OF the Chinese, and they
were iollowed by some miners who are the
dregs OF the lowest orier OF Immigrants,
Ignorant and brutal by nature, never hay
ing mad an opportunity 10 learn any bet
ter than to be led into such performances.

their roasted victims IN their %nostrils' they
put up their hands and refused Z. load

with regard to prices paid, and no COM
