Turbulent Chinatown riot and wreck in the city jail
A deadly mob attacked Chinese residents in the city, seized a prisoner from lawful custody, and hanged him after dragging him through the streets. Officers and bystanders were injured as conspirators and vigilantes surged, with the scene escalating into a far broader uproar and surrounding police and officials failing to control the chaos. The incident triggered a vigilante response, arrests, and widespread public alarm.
