Attack On Japanese.

New York Times 100 years ago today, July 16, 1913:
Workmen in Colorado Threaten to Deport or Lynch Them.
    STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo., July 15.— A construction gang working on the extension of the Denver and Salt Lake Railroad yesterday attempted to drive from the grading camp a party of Japanese laborers who were brought here last Tuesday and housed in box cars at the lower end of town.
    Early yesterday morning a gang went to the Japanese camp, three of them impersonating officers. The gang rushed into the cars with ropes and revolvers and ordered the Japanese to dress, giving them notice that they must cease work on the railroad.
    They then conducted the Japanese two miles out of town and told them if they returned the ropes would be used. Sheriff Chivington arrested three of the ringleaders and has placed deputies around the bunk cars to prevent the members of the mob from attempting to carry out their threats.
