The ronopah Trouble.

Fridays Carson Appeal has the fol-
lowing regarding the trouble at Touo-
pah:
Parties coming in from Tonopah on
the delayed train last evening con.
firm the story hat the raid on the
Chinese quarters was made and it Is
believed that one Cinnamon, a restaur-
ant keeper, has been killed or else
seriously injured, as he could not be
found,
The mob that did the work consisted
OF about twenty or thirty men. They
ransacked the Chinese quarters and
forced the Cinnamon down the canyon
with the persuasion OF siz. shooters,
while no shots were tire1 several OF the
unfortunate victims were badly beaten
with the weapons. The deed was done
before the better element OF tie town
wal cogniZant OF It, and when it was
discovered a general indignation meeting
was called. The Miners Union has
taken up the matter and will see :hat
the Government is helped to probe the
affair to the very bottom, The citizens
have also demanded That justice be done
in the affair, and several arrests have
been made. The men implicated are
not among the desirable class aud rs u
rule have been carrying affairs with a
high hand. This last act has go ar.
oused the citizens OF the camp that i
general clean up will be sure to fol.
low.
Among the men that was aroused by
the trouble was Hank Knight. lie
jumped into the breach OF action and
found a Chinawomen and n couple of
youngsters in danger and tool them to
his home, where he offered them protec-
ton. Some OF the mob leaders came to
his place and wanted to send the woman
and children after the Cinnamon.
knight would have none OF it, and pull.
ing his gun announced that the first
man that laid hand on the refugees
would drop in their tracks. None offer.
ed TO modest them.
On top OF this Knight expressed him.
self freely OF the action and called the
entire crowd down. Knight is backed
by most Of the people OF the camp and
his action will meet the approval Of the
people Of the entire State.
The case will probably result III China

The new brake. II is claimed, will stop
a train in a third less time than the ap-

The Lackawanna Railroad Is one of the
