A FALSE REPORT.
LEADS TO SERIOUS RIOTING
CHINESE QUARTERS WRECKED
Received December 29. 4.55 p.m
NEW YORK, December 28,
Advices from Portland, Oregon, state that it was reported that a citizen had been murdered in a Chinese restaurant. This led 1,500 inhabitants at Lethbridge, in the Alberta district, to wreck the ental quarter of the town. The police were powerless, but the brigade and mounted police ultimately dispersed the rioters. It was subsequently ascertained that the report that a citizen had been murdered was untrue.
