PARTIALLY TREATED.

Riverside, Cal. Dec 29.-At Casa Blanca, four miles south of here. an infuriated mob of fifteen laborers, composed of white men and MeXicanS, visited q Chinese camp and command ed eight occupants of a tent to throw up their hands. The request was promptly obeyed, and immediately the frightened celestials were placed iii q farm wagon and hauled to the Santa Ana river bottom, several miles dis tant. where they were subjected to most brutal treatment. After they had succeeded ill beating their helpless vic tims almost into insensibility, the ruffians hastily took their departure. Several of the Chinese are seriously wounded The origin of the trouble is due to the discharge from q pack ing house of several Mexican girls and the substitution of Chinese help. George Dunham and Andrew and Adolph Selvas have been arrested.
